Glen Ellyn Animal Hospital

Once again! These people informed me that they didn’t issue a rabies tag because of a bill dispute. A bill which I refused to pay when they actually injured my dog and caused it terrible pain form their treatment — PLUS they tried to hide it from me when I picked him up… DO NOT USE THIS PLACE!

Dr. Bauer has been very helpful with our bichon’s mysterious cough. She is very kind and gentle with him whenever we come in, and always returns calls promptly.
Dr. Schmidt was very helpful with information about our guinea pig.

I have had nothing but EXCELLENT care for our dogs here at GE Animal Hospital. Dr. B is knowledgeable, dedicated and runs the clinic with exceptional professionalism and amazing animal/​owner compassion.
Any situation, big or small, our dogs have had wonderful care. From the ladies at the front desk to the Vet Techs and Doctors, I have always gotten help or information needed. From adopting dogs to the sad time of putting one down, they have handled our dogs with professional care and compassion. Thank you! GE Animal Hospital!

I’ve been bringing my Pomeranian (Chi Chi) and my Weimaraner (Eva) here for about 7 years. this animal hospital is amazing! Although we have pretty healthy pups, we’ve had a couple of more serious needs over the years… each step of the way this animal hospital as been there and we greatly appreciate their caring staff and doctors. It’s so hard to find a vet that you trust (no BS) and with as many amazing doctors as this clinic. I’ve NEVER had them try to «upsell» me anything. They can take care of nearly all of your pets needs, and if emergencies happen when they aren’t open, they are part of a great network that has ²⁴⁄₇ offices available for those situations.
P. S. For inexperienced pet owners, a wellness check typically includes the following: check the eyes, teeth, ears, skin, feel around the abdomen and back end, listen to the chest, etc. It’s kind of like when you go into a regular visit to you doctor for a check-​up. Vaccines, tests, and other such business are not included in a «wellness» exam …

I cannot believe that I have not written a review on this amazing animal hospital. I have been coming here for years and I just love this place from the women at the front desk to Dr Schmidt.
Dr. Schmidt is so kind and loving with my Shayna I would never go anywhere else. You can see how much he cares about her and always takes care of her with such kindness, you can tell how much he loves animals. I just love how he gets on the floor with her so she isn’t scared. My Shayna just adores him.
If you need care for your fur baby this is the place to go.

Have gone to Glen Ellyn Animal hospital for 18 years and have always received the best care for my pet. Will not go anywhere else.
The people there care about taking care of ur pet at the highest level. Dr. B or someone on his staff is always accessible to answer questions or concerns.

Today was my second visit to this office. I took my Maine Coon here to get fixed a couple of months ago. I had no complaints then.
I called them this morning because my cat has been having an issue with her eye. It has been watery, gunky and now it’s red and swollen. My poor little furry creature. I called them about 7am and the girl told me that they were booked but that they would squeeze us in. I arrived at 8:30 am.
We were taken to an exam room pretty much right away. The vet, Dr. Bauer, came in about 5 minutes later. She examined my Buttercup’s eye and took her back to get her weight and temperature.
Turns out my baby had a fever. They soaked her paws in alcohol to bring the fever down. She was given medication for her eyes, an injection and was given fluids. I also bought some treats for her immune system and a collar so she doesn’t mess with her eyes.
The vet was very nice and informative. The girls behind the desk were all very cheerful and the vet tech who brought me my kitty back explained what was done to her while she was in the back.
I really liked that Dr. Bauer told me to call her if Buttercups sister, Blossom, starts getting the same symptoms because she can treat that over the phone.
I am very happy with this office.
They had signs for a free coffee gift card with a Unilocal check in but at the end of my visit and after the shock of my payment I forgot to ask if they had any cards left. Oh well! Hopefully my kitty is back to normal soon.
Thank you Dr. Bauer and the rest of the Saturday morning staff.
I have to add to my review that I got a my coffee gift card in the mail. Thank you so much for the great customer service.

These people saved my dog. He was lethargic, avoiding food/​water and pooing large amounts of blood. He was going downhill fast. They diagnosed him with HGE and after they started treatment he rebounded within 48 hours and is now 100%. They saved his life. How do you thank someone for saving a loved one’s life? Probably more than writing a simple Unilocal review…

Care came with my pet’s purchase. They are ok as far as friendly, but EVERY SINGLE TIME you walk in, like many other posters said, they try to upsell you something. I feel a lot of times like I’m at a car dealership. I love my pet but I don’t like charges told to me after the fact in which multiple phone calls have been made about an appointment. I like things said up-​front.

The best vet and receptionists for my little dog! They’re incredibly kind and attentive to my pup’s needs (and ours), and I can’t imagine have taken her to another animal hospital. Keep up the great work, GE Animal Hospital! It’s such a pleasure bringing Panda here.

This clinic is awesome. I won’t take my pet anywhere else! I’ve seen most of the doctors there and they have all been extremely helpful and caring toward my cat, Shmoop. I always recommend the Glen Ellyn Animal Hospital to my friends and family.

I have been bringing my pets here for a year now. They are organized and are great at e-​mailing and calling to remind me of when vaccinations are due. My dogs are excited to come here, so that’s a great sign when I consider that one of them is a rescue from an abusive pit bull farm on the east coast and she is pretty emotionally damaged.
This week in particular, they saved my butt. I had an immediate family death and had to leave town with zero notice and a totally blank brain from grief. These guys took my two dogs in for boarding ASAP and we did their boosters while they were boarded. They were given walks and playtime.
One testament to any business is how they act when things don’t go according to plan. I had confirmed the dogs would be groomed one day so I would pick them up the following day. I wiffed and said noon pickup when I booked — which I forgot about because of the family death stuff — then picked them up at 8:30. The dogs were about to get groomed as I arrived to pick them up that morning, because the groomer thought she had time even though I had requested grooming the night before.
They handled everything smoothly and apologetically even though I was the total flake who showed up super early, and did what they could in the short time at no charge. My dogs came out happy and clean… even Ms. Pit Bull, who doesn’t always eat when I am gone, looks so healthy.
So yeah, they are professional, accommodating, and saved my face on this one. It doesn’t hurt that the one groomer tech looks like Jake Gyllenhaal, either. Meow. ;)

We were clients at another vet and having 3 small dogs being in a room for up to 2 hours is maddening! We decided to give Glen Ellyn Animal Hospital a try. HOLY COW! WOW In and out with 3 shih Tzu’s is less than 40 mins! I felt cared about and the vets we have seen are very knowledgeable and professional and caring! We also have another dog that was neutered here and wasn’t doing well the following day. Although his behavior was normal and nothing to be alarmed about, we called and they quickly said to bring him in. The lobby was full and they got him in a room within 5 minutes. They were very companionate and didn’t make us feel stupid for worrying!
WE LOVE THIS PLACE!!!

I’ve been taking my two cats here for over five years. I’ve been very pleased with the professionalism and caring attitude of all the vets I’ve met over the years. We just saw Dr. Schmidt last Thursday and as always, he treated my kitties as though they were his own.
The front desk staff and technicians are also wonderful — patient and understanding with a nervous pet parent. I also truly appreciate how they’ve always been able to fit me in for a same day visit when one of my cats had an acute issue.

Doctor Bower is amazing I have two Olde English bulldogs and one is allergic to the world and she really takes her time with Rose and really watches out for her. Thank you Doctor Bower!!!

I called to take my dog there where she got diagnosed and they refused cus u guys suck very unprofessional on the phone and they said they had no proof my dog was there I am going to the better business Bureau and get a lawyer cus u guys r scared of dogs get another profession if u can’t handle dogs u kept my dog in a cage in her own piss and shit and u wouldn’t clean it u guys r disgusting and disgraceful sorry about it u suck and shouldn’t be in business and u r very rude on the phone!!!

Dr Bower is my favorite, Dr taylor was awesome. everyone on the staff is amazing. We have 3 dogs, and have seen some bad vets. This hospital is the best we have ever gone too. You have a customer for life.
Ken Mercer, Brodi, Baxter, and Simba say hi.

We have been bringing our dogs here for 12 years and have never considered going anywhere else. We started with one little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy in 2002, and we’ve had a total of four dogs since then. We had two of our puppies dayboarded there while they were really little and working on their housetraining, and we had to be at work for 8 hours a day. We’ve also had all our dogs boarded there for overnight, weekends, and even week-​long trips. Our dogs appear to have a couple of special friends there in the boarding area who are obviously wonderful to our little babies because our dogs go nuts when they see those people. Could not be more pleased to know that we are leaving our dogs in the care of people they love.
Our dogs get their exams, shots, tummyaches, surgeries, teeth cleaning, grooming — everything — treated at GEAH. I think we’ve seen all the vets there at one time or another, and everyone there seems genuinely happy to see our dogs, and they certainly seem to care about them.
When our elderly Cavalier was in the final stages of congestive heart failure and we knew she was suffering and wasn’t going to have any more good days, a GEAH vet came to our house with a vet tech, and our beloved dog was allowed to pass away quietly, peacefully, and unafraid, in our arms, at home. The vet and the vet tech were respectful, professional, and very compassionate, and we couldn’t have asked for better help in what was a heart-​wrenching experience for us. We were very grateful that they were so kind.
We are very happy to have such great partners in the care of our dogs.

I just moved to the area and my dachshund needed a rabies check after nipping a fireman. Long story. They were awesome from the beginning. They got me an appointment immediately and did quite a bit of footwork for me since Cook County is different in their requirements than Du Page and Illinois is certainly different from Texas. He is being well cared for and Ashley at the front desk and the veterinarian were outstanding. I will be bringing both of my dogs to them from now on. Great people here!

I have mixed feelings about this place, so let’s just lay it out here. I take my dog here for non-​routine procedures, such has his neutering and teeth cleaning. We also go here when he’s sick. The vaccinations are quite expensive, so I do that elsewhere. On the upside, they can always fit us in and are very fair. Recently, I thought my dog had a tick and took him in. It turns out it was just an infected hair follicle, which they removed and clean, no charge.
However, I took him there for a teeth cleaning and pre-​authorized them to perform extractions up to a certain amount. Of course, he needed exactly that amount of work done to remove a tooth. The woman who called to tell me he was out of surgery didn’t tell me they removed a tooth until I asked, then told me they would explain it all when I picked him up. When I arrived, they weren’t prepared to meet with me, just take my money. I had to ask to speak with a doctor, who them hastily drew up discharge papers.
I keep going there, but only because I’m not sure if a better place is out there. I feel like they’re always trying to upsell me on something, and how can I say no when my dog is involved?
