Dr Larsen is amazing! He’s taken such amazing care of my boy Maverick. Maverick loves coming to the office, everyone is always so welcoming and they always get excited to see him! He’s never liked going to the vet except when he comes here.

We have gone here a few times for emergency visits. I have sincerely appreciated their advice and that they don't seem to do tests or other procedures just for the money. They openly communicate with you about the situation, and advice about options.

We love Dr Lathrop as she is one of the kindest and caring of all vets we have gone in the past with our previous fur babies. Thanks to the great staff at Dundee Animal Hospital in Elgin Illinois.

Caring and compassionate staff who we met for the first time on a Sunday night after our dog suffered a catastrophic injury. They treated our beloved Husky with kindness and tenderness and they were equally supportive and gentle with her adoring family. Sadly, we made the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our sweet girl that evening after discussing all possible options and outcomes. I would like to acknowledge Dr. Kristi Knott and Liz for being so patient and compassionate with us as made this difficult choice. We appreciated Dr. Knott’s reassurance and support as we made this decision with our heads, not our hearts.
Our dog was cremated and her cremains were ready for us to pick up within three days. They were presented to us with reverence in a beautiful wooden box by a staff member who seemed to care as much as we did.
Based on our experiences from beginning to end, we are grateful we chose to go to Dundee Animal Hospital in East Dundee.
