Services
Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs. We were the first clinic in Southern Illinois to offer laser surgery. Laser surgery is less painful, causes less bleeding, less discomfort, a reduced chance of infection, and in most cases, a quicker recovery and return to normal activities.

If I could have left no stars I would. We took our boxer here to be spayed in 2020. We asked that she receive a normal spay, not the laser that they suggested would be "better" for her. We took her in and everything was normal, until we picked her up and they informed us the bill would be twice the amount and that she had been given the laser surgery.
They refused to give us any of our money back even though we specifically requested the normal spay. She was completely out of it after the surgery and I've had multiple dogs so I knew she would be groggy, but not as bad as she was. A few months later, she couldn't hold her bladder anymore and became incontinent. When the doctor was informed, he just basically told us that "it happens." We also take our other dog there and the doctor is very bad about drawing blood, he just stabs around multiple times and twists the needle around inside, which is horrible to watch as a pet owner in the room.
The doctor also has a real terrible attitude and will basically accuse you of being a bad pet parent at every visit. I should have done more research before taking my pets here because I am now realizing they had an old Facebook account that they deleted because they were getting so many bad reviews. Stay far away!

We had been with our previous vet for years. We took our Boxer to Little Egypt Vet Clinic for a second opinion more like a third opinion. Dr. Parker was great and resolved our problem with out surgery and the risks that would've came with putting our girl under. Dr. Parker knows his stuff, has common sense and is extremely affordable.

The entire staff is very friendly and professional! The cost is reasonable, the veterinarian is gentle with the animals and well educated with how determining what each animal needs. Plus, the appointment time frames are flexible and extend into the afternoon, which is SUPER beneficial so that you don't have to miss work to get your pets health taken care of. I highly recommend them!

I have gone to Little Egypt Vet my entire life. Dr. Jim has always been great with our animals, and we've had many dogs and cats. He keeps a very friendly 3 legged cat in the clinic that my dog adores (my dog is pictured below), and although the cat isn't crazy about my dog, it has never hissed at him. I watched this cat approach another cat that was upset in a backpack, and it calmed the other cat down. It either avoids or ignores dogs, but it will greet almost all people and other cats.
