Pet Wellness Care in Kane County, McHenry County, Cook County, Dupage County and Lake County

Our time with our pets is always far too short, but we can help you make that time count! Further improvements in veterinary medicine and education enable our pets to live longer than they ever have before, and we’d like to continue this trend. Pet wellness exams are vital to your pet’s health and longevity, because they allow us to proactively prevent disease and other issues. Working collaboratively with pet owners and maintaining a consistent schedule will go a long way towards helping them spend more quality time with their beloved companions.

Dog Wellness Exams

Pet wellness care has various components, from the comprehensive dog wellness exam to laboratory diagnostics. During the dog check up, your veterinarian will check your pet’s weight, temperature, respiratory rate and heart rate, ears, eyes, mouth, skin and coat, joints/limbs, etc. If you have a new puppy, we’ll need to discuss parasite prevention, housebreaking and training, vaccinations, spay and neuter, behavior, nutrition and more to start them off right.

We recommend fecal tests to check for intestinal parasites, which many puppies are born with. We will need to test them again following treatment, to ensure that they’re parasite-free.

Cat Wellness Exam

Your veterinarian will want to see your cat once a year for their pet wellness exam and any additional treatments. During new kitten appointments, we will discuss a variety of topics including litter box training, diet, exercise, microchipping, parasite prevention, and spaying or neutering. Cats also require annual fecal testing, and can be safely treated with medication to eradicate parasites.

Parasite Prevention

Both cats and dogs can fall victim to parasites, but there are many ways to treat and prevent the problems they may cause. We offer various high-quality flea, tick and heartworm preventatives to keep pets protected, and recommend that they be given regularly for maximum effect. Even strictly indoor pets can be vulnerable to parasites; therefore it is better to be safe than sorry.

For the best care, pets need to come in for annual cat & dog wellness exams. Senior pets should see us every six months for a full evaluation and to check for acute or chronic issues. We love seeing our pet patients thriving and greeting us with wagging tails or head rubs! Our goal is always to improve their quality of life and give them many more years to spend with you.

After another local vet botched cherry eye surgery for our pup, we were referred by others in the community to check out Dundee Animal Hospital, and thank goodness I took that advice! I cannot speak highly enough about our experience with DAH. They were very compassionate, understanding, and upfront in our initial visit discussing attempting the procedure, risks, and potential outcomes so we knew what to expect and were able to make an informed decision on next steps. They also scheduled time on the morning of the surgery to have me meet with the surgeon for her to walk me through (sure even drew pictures to help my understanding) everything she planned to do and expressed her level of confidence given this would be the second attempt at surgery. Everything went smoothly and my dog has had a wonderful recovery. I've been so impressed by every interaction with every member of the staff and it's such a night and day difference vs what I experienced at our previous vet. So happy we made the switch!
Dr Lupo is our fave! He takes time to listen and answer questions. Everyone at this location cares about Pets and *pet parents* too. I have been bringing my pets to this location since the 90s!
