    VCA Chicago North has always been so wonderful with our senior dog Kensley. We’ve been coming here for the last 4 years and are on the CareClub plan and everything has been very affordable in comparison to other vets. Kensley has had all of her routine checkups, vaccines and dentals here with great care from all of the staff. As a nearly 15 year old dog with chronic issues she has higher support needs & the front desk staff is wonderful and so helpful, especially Margie & Yaneli, as well as all the techs, assistants and Doctors. We LOVE Dr. Egan & also Dr. Hunt! Everyone here goes above and beyond for miss Kensley and we couldn’t be more appreciative. We’ve never had a vet that made it more easy to communicate and receive care than VCA Chicago North Animal Hospital. Thank you everyone, for taking such good care of our girl!

    This vet practice recently changed their policies regarding sick visits. They used to hold several appointment slots a day for sick pets, but they no longer do. If you choose this practice for your pet, you will likely need to take your pet to an emergency vet at some point. In my opinion, this is clearly financially motivated, and I will be seeking out a different vet for my cat.

    Great vet experience for our puppy. Dr. Abens was really wonderful! She took the time to ensure Wilson's checkup and first nail trim were positive experiences. Thoughtful and terrific, thanks!
