Let me start this by saying that Dr. Jeff at Palos Animal Hospital is simply AMAZING. I wish i could give him 10 stars instead of just 5! I experienced a horrible tragedy where my sweet puppy was brutally attacked by stray dogs & had to be rushed to get emergency care. After taking him to a location where the vet and assistant offered absolutely NO help, I was forced to frantically search for a location that would help my poor injured fur baby. I know now that it was only GOD that my husband and I stumbled upon Palos Animal hospital. Upon entering the facility I was clearly visibly distraught & Dr Jeff IMMEDIATELY took my bleeding puppy from my arms and kicked into action. He showed a level of compassion that you don't see much in the service industry today. He quickly provided anesthetic to comfort my sweet dog & relieve his pain. Although my dog's injuries were too severe & he did not survive the attack, I took great comfort in how amazingly well he was treated in his final hours. Dr. Jeff made sure that not only did my sweet baby feel loved at such a dreadful time, he also took time to explain and comfort my husband and I during this nightmare. Words will never be sufficient to express just how much his professionalism & genuine compassion during one of the worst days of my life will always mean to me. One day after I'm done grieving the loss of my amazing puppy, I'll be ready to love another dog. When I do, Dr.Jeff & Palos Animal Hospital will be the ONLY place I take him/her for care. With sincerest gratitude, S. Jackson.

Dr. Turek is an angel. She goes above and beyond to support the well-being of our dogs, even supporting us from afar when I was stuck out of the country with Covid and our dog needed treatment. She has also helped us navigate difficult health issues with our dogs with compassion. Even though we’ve moved farther away, I will continue to drive to Palos Animal Hospital to make sure my boys keep seeing Dr. Turek. And a special shoutout to Dr. Rachel who helped keep me calm when one of our dogs had a health crisis. Those two women are amazing.

I have brought my dogs to Palos Animal Hospital for the last 15 years. Prior to coming to Palos, I utilized other vet facilities in the area for years and I can definitely say Palos is by far the most professional, best staffed, clean and accommodating place that I have been to. I have dealt with primarily 3 vets but others on short notice. Dr.'s Kleven, Shepherd and Mills have helped me and my animals through a lot of tough times. They continue to council me by phone with issues I have with my senior dog that is hard to transport for in person visits. They always give all the time you need to ask questions and they offer solutions, treatments and consolation. I am so thankful for this facility and for the caring doctors that work there. I highly recommend them to everyone.

WHY DOES IT SAYS "HOSPITAL" IF THEY DON'T TAKE "ANY WALKINS" !!!! IF UR ANIMAL GETS HITS BY A CAR, U WILL HAVE TO MAKE AN "APPOINTMENT". YES ALRIGHT AT THAT TIME MY PET WILL BE DEAD. THANKYOU!!!

I came in a few years ago worried about my dogs issues that turned out to be seizures. Dr Jeff did not even care about diagnosing his episodes, but instead tried convincing me to get some surgery for my dogs breathing since he’s part bulldog. However, my dog can breathe perfectly fine since his nose isn’t smushed in like a bulldog because he’s mixed. He just heard he is mixed with bulldog and kept trying to refer me for an unnecessary surgery. Years have passed now and my dog has 0 issues with breathing. I went to a different vet and he was finally diagnosed with epilepsy. Careful to the bulldog owners, or even if your dog isn’t a dog with a smushed face that doesn’t have breathing problems, they might try and refer you for that unnecessary surgery just to cash grab you like leeches instead of caring about your pets health. I never went back there again after that.

Palos AH is awesome. As a trainer I’ve been there with clients and everyone was always professional and compassionate. Now having taken my own dog there for a serious problem I’m even more impressed. Just plain awesome. Thanks to everyone there especially Dr. Jeff!

First time there, LAST time there! I was taken care of by a woman veterinarian. She was extremely uncompassionate, rude, and plain cruel and not just to me but my sick pet as well. This woman really does not know her calling in life. It's certainly not helping sick pets and she's clueless as how to handle an owner of a sick pet! It was really shocking not to just me, but when I told others.

I have a rescue pup that I have been bringing here for a while. She had a bad start to life and was a day away from being euthanized because her fears were misinterpreted for aggression. Many many thanks to Dr. Shepard for your patience with her and helping me treat all her ailments. There is nobody I trust more with the care of my dog. It doesn’t matter how long it takes, Dr. Shepard listens to all my concerns, explains all that can be done and is just an outstanding vet. The staff is so nice, helpful and friendly. I really can’t say enough. Thank you Dr. Shepard and staff for all you do.

As usual another animal hospital that couldn't see my sick dog without a 2 week appointment. She died the next day in the kitchen...

This is world class service. Last week I brought my precious Yorkie Cupid in and we got lucky and saw Dr. Rachel. I was crying because my dog was so weak and desperatly needed help. I drove over 100 miles and it was worth it. She had given him the best possible treatment available. In two days he was up and running, not walking, running. My parents started coming here in 1978 and no other place compares to their world class service. I went to a local vet and they said my dog was going to die. And he would have unless I got in the car and decided to do the drive. I have the upmost respect for this staff. 100% look no further. They hands down will give you the best possible care for your beloved pet.

I feel as if we have always received quality care, first, for wellness, with personal care, each time that we have had need for any of our (5) five cats, Jesse, Josie, Jack, Jazzy and Jasper - The James Gang. 🐯🐘 🐯😻😸🙀🐯

There aren’t enough words to describe this vet. Absolutely amazingly caring. Dr. Rachel is honestly my favorite which is saying a lot because every doctor is just fantastic. My Ozzy has terrible anxiety and she was is so unbelievably calm, and moves so slow for him. She also put down our Senior girlie and was close to tears along side of us. She made the process so smooth, she never rushed us, she never made us feel uneasy. The front desk was absolutely amazing. I can’t thank each of them enough for the care they give our fur babies

Amazing Vet. Extremely kind and attentive to our dog. Would definitely recommend him to everyone.

This place was awesome and super easy to make an appointment. My cats both had an ear mites problem and they took them in right away when we arrived. The doctor and staff were super friendly and caring, and helped me understand what was going on with my cats. My little old man usually doesn't like being handled but to my surprise, he let the vet clean his ears out and be held! Truly amazing and I am definitely coming here no questions asked if anything else came up again.

Thank you 🙏🏻 Dr 👩‍⚕️ Shepard and the entire staff for being the best Animal hospital 🏥 on the planet 🌎 Cupid 💘 and I love ❤️ you! Thank you 🙏🏻 for saving my besties life 🐶🐾

I have always had a great experience with the hospital and the staff. The doctors take the time to listen to me and do a full evaluation when a I notice a problem with my dog. I don't feel rushed and they explain the treatment plans in detail.

I brought my little dog Cooper in for a rabies vaccine and to get his nails trimmed. They explained how they'd do the rabies vaccine, and would try to get his nails. Because he was so excited, they said he may need an anxiety med to calm him down and I could bring him back. Dr. Sarah Turek was able to do both right then and there. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, thank you so much. She treated Cooper as if he were her own. I'm not one to leave reviews, but thought this should be shared for anyone looking for a caring veterinarian. I would highly recommend Dr. Turek at Palos Animal Hospital.

I brought my cat in since she was dropping tons weight. The girls were so nice and gentle with my cat! They ran some tests and Dr. Wall found that my cat had a over-active thyroid, and she gave me numerous options for treatment. I am so pleased with their professionalism and their compassion for my cat and other animals that receive care there!

You leave a voice-mail and they always call you back. Their prices are affordable. They also have summer specials for rabies shot.

Can not say enough good things about Palos Animal hospital. This week my dog needed emergency surgery, and everything was so smooth and easy. Dr. Sankey originally treated and diagnosed my dog, and surgery was performed by Dr. Turek. Absolute professionals, that are kind and caring! Every team member I have had interactions with has been professional and friendly. They kept me informed about my dogs care, and gave me the written discharge instructions that covered all the care he would need. Wonderful doctors and staff!! Photo of my dog before he got sick.

You know I was wondering why are animal shelters so over filled. I will tell you why. I called to set up an appointment at this facility. New client. The receptionist says it will cost 72.00 dollars in advance to hold the appointment. Freaking unbelievable. This is so sad. I guess what they are saying if you are not wealthy don’t come here.

My two Chihuahuas started fighting and this time the fight was pretty bad. I called quite a few animal hospitals and no one would care for my dog, i finally called Palos Animal Hospital and they said bring her in right now, i brought her in and they kept her for a few hours so the Veterinarian could look at her on his break, Dr Mills called me back and prescribed some medication and my dog is recovering slowly but thanks to this clinic for caring enough about my dog that they were able to get her in and help her when no other clinic would!
