Chicago Veterinary Emergency

Chicago Vet Emergency was recommended by out stellar vet (RV Animal Hospital) for our dogs and they've been excellent. They are always willing to go the extra mile, will tell you what tests are really necessary or "suggested" and the staff is nothing less than superb. No wonder they are rated one of the best ER Vets in Chicago.

our new pup from a shelter got sick on a Sunday morning. with nowhere else to go we found CVES. we found the level and thoughness of the staff to be great. far better than the firsr vet we went to on tuesday, and said was ok again on Friday(maybe just ate something bad!)...missed pneumonia! if it wasn't for CVES, our little pup, may not be around. the staff was great! explained everything through, patient and understanding, we even called in to check up after hours. would recommend to anyone.

I have lost 2 cats to this place. Yes both of them were very sick but something is very wrong with this clinic. The vibe given off is that of a PETA pyschos. They wanted to put both of our cats to sleep without a real review of what the problems ever were. Both times we took them there they jumped around about the prognosis and still didnt get it right. They didnt want to run full blood test even though we were willing to pay for it. It felt like more laziness then anything else. I will not take any other animals back there. Most of the near by clinics wont even recommend this clinic, they suggest that you head out to the near by burbs.

There is no warm and caring feeling from this clinic and dont suggest that you take you're animal there. When our first cat passed, she was 23yrs old, there was confusion about our cat's ashes and it wasnt till after a lot of bitching that they would even listen to us. They came out and admitted they lied to us because they were scared they were not going to receive the rest of the payment. The only reason we went back this week is because they are 5blocks away other wise we would have gone the 2hrs in traffic to another clinic. We will never go back there again.

One of the few places with quality emergency services for pets that I'm familiar with. I found out about this place when my neighbor's cat need immediate care on a holiday. They're very caring, very qualified, personnel. In addition to their late hours, they're open evenings, weekends, and holidays. Why do most emergencies seem to happen on holidays? Well, they're here if anything does happen and they're very good.
