I am so grateful for all the Doctors and staff at PetVet. I would never take my dogs anywhere else. The incredible love, care and knowledge is such a blessing and a reason I havent moved out of Illinois. I rescue senior dogs for the past 12 years. My dogs would not live healthy lives and live incredibly long as they do, if it wasn't for the Vets and staff at PetVet. I am so blessed.

Rude receptionist (1 star)! Not a good look for this practice. However, technician and veterinarian made up for the rude receptionist and were great! (5 stars each). Therefore, overall 4 stars.

This is our second vet for our pups ages 1 and 2. Dr. Karen is great! My pup was so sick and, without hesitation, had me bring her right in. They had a full schedule but still took the time to get my baby back to good health. Dr. Karen even took the time to personally call to check up on her for 4 days after

Dr. Deb has been our vet & friend since moving to Huntley a little over five years ago. She has been there through the tears & the laughs and understands animals at a soul level, which to me is as valuable as understanding animals on a clinical level. I love the house call option and definitely use that unless there is something urgent that comes up because it is less stress on myself & the kitties.
When she & Michelle come by for kitty check ups, it is like family stopped by and I genuinely appreciate her patience and know how and that she includes you in any decisions and gives you all the options available for a treatment or if a vaccine is necessary etc. They are the best!

This took some time to process. I took my dog in for a check up and blood work. She had had two seizures within the last month but none recently and was generally energetic and crazy as ever. She had a seizure in the office while I was paying. They took her in the back and injected her with something. I was distraught and didn't ask what it was. They didn't even monitor her for 10 minutes they just charged me another 80 and dumped her limp little body in my arms. She died in my car 15 minutes later. I'm heartbroken. I missy Susie. They also had the audacity to only refund me for the blood work not for the visit or the injection.
