Services
Hawthorne Park Animal Care Center was founded in 2005 to provide the Bloomington Normal community with advanced veterinary care in a warm, caring environment. Our clinic offers a wide array of services to meet your pet's needs at any age. We strongly believe that a comprehensive physical exam is the cornerstone of your pet's health and should be done at least once or twice a yearly.
Annual dental exams and cleanings are recommended to protect your pet from many health problems and help them maintain a healthy and clean mouth. Proper diet and nutrition can help your pet fight against disease, maintain a proper weight, and promote the overall well-being of your pet. Annual wellness exams evaluate your pets overall health, detect problems before they become serious, and keep them on track to live a long, healthy life. We're equipped to perform routine radiography services to identify many types of illness or injury when pets are sick or suffer a trauma.
We strive to provide an excellent online experience for all visitors to our website. We believe all of our visitors should be able to easily navigate our website, regardless of whether the visitor has a need for assistive technologies like screen readers, magnifiers, voice recognition software or switch technology.

I can not express how wonderful this practice is! When my sweet baby girl, Buffy, had spells of vertigo, Dr. Anderson was quick to diagnose her with vestibular disease and cured her - he is absolutely brilliant. That single event made me stay with their practice throughout the years even though it is a bit of a drive from my house - absolutely worth it! 10 years later and he caught Cushing's Disease early - even before she really started showing symptoms.

I am forever grateful for him and their entire practice for always taking great care of Buffy. Everyone is SO kind, caring, and super knowledgeable. I appreciate them all soooo much! (And they all know Buffy's funny quirks and absolutely LOVE her when she walks in the door, which makes my heart SO happy!)

Our sort of old and kind of broken dog actually seemed to enjoy his very first visit here. The vet & her staff clearly know what they're doing. Highly recommend!

Clean. Friendly. Netta helpful in phone. Appreciated getting in quickly. Dr Emily and staff Jamie were friendly, thorough, and gentle (with me lol)as it was my cat's first vet appt. I was both surprised and appreciative of Doctor's conservative approach from a financial point of view. Sammie is feeling better!

Love Hawthorne, wonderful vets & friendly staff. We've had numerous medical conditions come up with owning 3 dogs. Dr Anderson did a wonderful job diagnosing an issue that the emergency vet clinic couldn't figure out after multiple visits. The couple surgeries he's done on our dogs in the last few months were very good experiences: great communication from staff, excellent appearance of sutures, overall quick healing, and our dogs are now pain free. I have the utmost confidence in our veterinary care at Hawthorne. Thank you for all you do for our fur babies!

I was very happy with our first experience here. We just recently moved from California and our girl was sick with some kind of stomach bug. Our visit was friendly and professional. And we didnt have to wait long to see the vet at all. All in total I think we spent an hour there which was nice. I feel they were knowledgeable and took care of our girl. Everyone there seems to love animals. Thank you Hawthrone.

The best vet care in Bloomington. They found a diagnosis for my pet that a previous vet clinic missed. I have also had to call after hours on weekends on 2 separate occasions and received a call back from a veterinarian in less than 10 minutes both times. The staff are so kind and you can tell they really care about animals and the quality of care your pet gets. 1000/10 recommend!

Spectacular. We went there for the first time and the service was awesome. Dr. Anderson took up a lot of time with us and we so appreciated that and the care that he took of our dog. We will definitely go back.

Hawthorne has always been great for us and our cats. Yesterday was a rush situation and I greatly appreciate that they were willing to add an appointment with such last second notice. They are always professional and caring.

Dr Anderson explained in detail what his diagnoses was and answered all of my questions. Our dog has had surgery on both of his knees and the follow through and attention has always been above our expectations. We were in recently for a concern with one of his knees and we received a diagnoses, a plan for moving forward and 2 possible outcomes after a brief waiting period to see which way we'll need to go.

The staff at Hawthorne Park were wonderful. We just moved to the area with our allergy-ridden dog and are in the midst of immunotherapy (which entails a very strict schedule in which she is supposed to receive her injections). With that said, we were looking for a place to get our dog in on very short notice, and we are so glad it was this establishment!

The front desk staff were so helpful on the phone and so pleasant to speak to. While calling other offices, I was greeted by some not-so-friendly people, but Hawthorne's staff were extremely kind. Also, Dr. Kilby was absolutely amazing with our anxious girl. In the past, we have had vets who only acknowledged our presence and failed to acknowledge our dog and her anxiety, but Dr. Kilby took the time to greet our dog and showed her the same patience and love as we would at home. Dr. Kilby was also very knowledgeable and informative in regards to our dog's skin condition, and we left feeling well aware of our options for treatment.

We love Hawthorne Park. They have treated our Maltese for years. Now 14+ years old. We have seen Dr. Anderson and Dr. Kilby for many visits, including well check and for Life-saving care. The entire staff has treated us as family. Couldn't survive without them.

Every time we walk in with our Chihuahua they treat her like they're own. They take such good care of her and love her as much as we do. Very happy we chose Hawthorne Park for our vet!

The doctors and nurses are all wonderful and so loving with the furbabies. They are compassionate, understanding, patient and you can tell they love their patients. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

We brought our 15 year old Golden to Hawthorne Park to see if they could remove a tumor that was growing out of control on her head. We were looking for someone to do it without putting her completely under anesthesia because of her age. Dr. Kilby said they were sure willing to try. The next day, we took her in and they removed the tumor (plus 2 more we didn’t know about) with just the local and sedation and we brought her home that afternoon! We have a new vet!

Took our little guy here for his first vet visit a few weeks ago. Loved everything about this place! The staff truly care about animals and were so excited to meet Macklin. Dr. Anderson is a great vet! A+!
