Sportsvet Animal Medical Center Here, we strive to provide your pet with everything they need all in one place. From 24 hour emergency care to routine veterinary medicine or a new hairstyle for your pooch, SportsVet has you covered! We understand that traveling without your pet can be stressful and we are here to be sure your pet's visit is relaxing and as stress free as possible.

Services
Our history stems from an abiding interest in medicine, in helping to make the good better and the better best. We pride ourselves on compassionate care and quality services. SportsVet Animal Medical Center originated as a home-based canine rehabilitation practice in 2003. Dr. Jacobs traveled throughout the state of Illinois, performing canine rehabilitation for a select group of patients.
Most people think that SportsVet Animal Medical Center is a facility that only offers sports veterinary care - this couldn't be further from the truth! We are a full-service veterinary practice and we are proud to offer a wide range of services for your furry family. When your pet is injured, ill, or exhibiting unusual behaviors, it is important to consult a veterinarian you can trust.
In order to maintain our high standard of service, we require that payment is made at the time services are rendered. We provide estimates for all surgeries and hospitalizations. If you have not received an estimate, you are welcome to request one at any time for your expected charges. CareCredit: When unexpected illness strikes a pet, unexpected expense strikes as well.
We provide 24/7 emergency care since emergencies don't always happen during "normal business hours". Having access to reliable, compassionate emergency care is crucial when your pet is sick or injured.

They performed emergency surgery on my cat to alleviate a urethral obstruction but badly botched the surgery and in actually sutured the urethra shut. This was revealed by his revision surgery at the U of I. I have the discharge summary to prove this. They also discharged him without him having urinated there, and his kidney values were very elevated when I brought him to the U of I. They only injured my cat and they refuse to give us a refund.

Yesterday they took great care of our Joba in his last moments and our family as we dealt with the loss of our loved one.
Thank you so much for your kindness and compassion.

I took my dogs to the urgent care and they was absolutely awesome. They told me everything that was going on with Shakey. The Dr. was very informative and told me what has happened and kept me up to date on what they were doing with hi. I want to thank th from the bottom of heart because Shakey is my baby.

My pit bull was dehydrated, and had a foreign object by his colon. I called them and they got us in the same day! I am so thankful they were about to tell us what was going on! He's now on the road to recovery, after just having surgery this morning! He had a bouncy ball in there! Thank you to the staff, for everything the did for my sweet boy! Definitely would recommend!

Sports Vet has taken care of two of my dogs who have needed several extensive surgeries. They have done a wonderful job and I feel completely comfortable putting my furbabies in their care. Also, even after both dogs have had surgery they are still excited to walk into the building which I feel says a lot about the care they received there. Highly recommend

Not the kind of review I would want to have to write but the staff at Sports Vet is so amazing they deserve it. A couple of weeks ago our beloved cat Freddie suddenly passed away. Not being in this area for a long time and never having had to deal with a death of a pet since living in Illinois we really had no idea of where to turn for cremation services. SV is very close to our home so we called them thinking if nothing else they'd point us in the right direction.

The woman I spoke to on the phone was kind and helpful, she told me to bring Freddie in and they would help. Once there they directed my daughter and I into a private room to say our goodbyes to Freddie, we were wrecks but they were kind and sympathetic. The vet took Freddie and got a paw print on clay for us to take home that day, she was also very gentle and kind with us!

The cremation was affordable and about a week later we had his ashes in a beautiful wooden box with his name engraved into a plaque, they also mailed us a sympathy card. From beginning to end they were so compassionate to what we were going through and we'll never forget it!

We had to take our cat here a few months ago and the care was excellent. A few days ago, the same issue arose with him and was more severe. My own vet isn't available for emergencies anymore so I called this clinic again. I was informed that their vet had left at 9pm but they could see our cat at 8am the next morning. This is not 24 hour emergency care, as advertised.

Thank God I found a vet in my area who was willing to see him, even though we weren't established clients, and he was hospitalized for 3 days. We are now new patients of this caring veterinary practice and know that we can count on them in emergencies.

My first experience with SportsVet has been very good. My dog needed TPLO surgery which was unnerving and terrifying for me. After the initial consultation, any time I called with a question, I was treated in a friendly, respectful and understanding manner. The communication between Dr Jacobs, his surgical staff and myself was timely, clear and thorough.

I initially came to SportsVet because our regular vet doesn't perform the surgery our dog needed. I thought it would be a little awkward but our dog was treated with care and kindness as if they'd known her forever.

Great service! I am so grateful for their same day walk in service! My poor dog and I were in town visiting and he had a horrible ear infection and allergic reaction! We called and were in for treatment within the hour! Thank you so much! Bugsy sends his gratitude! Happy Dog, Happy Fur Mom!

We have been taking our dog violet here since we got her 3 years ago and it has always been amazing. The staff are so friendly and so great with our dog. We have used the vet and the grooming and have loved it always and have always had such a great experience. I highly highly recommended them.

Staff is super friendly and Dr. Jacobs thoroughly explains each surgery offered, what to expect, and how it benefits your dog for future years. CVT Emily is also amazing on answering questions and explaining all recovery care once your pup is home. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Sports Vet Emergency care facility! While the outcome for my girl was not favorable, every single person (from the front desk to the doctor) was professional, caring and patient. The wait time was minimal and results were within a very reasonable time frame.

SportsVet was amazing with my little Kennedy. We didn’t have an appointment due to having an emergency injury but they got us in immediately. Even though poor Kennedy has to wear a cone, they gave her one with a pretty pink ribbon. Thank you for taking care of my baby girl

We just scheduled our 3rd TPLO Surgery with Dr. Jacobs (2 different dogs, 3 different legs). Three different surgeries in 5 months. Healing has been spectacular and all staff is very helpful and kind. We had to call after hours once after the 2nd procedure and even then they were extremely helpful. We are a very hyper group of 4 and my dogs are usually very timid when they have to go to the vet but do not seem to mind coming here. One loves SportsVet so much that she tore her other CCL. This place is definitely worth the drive from Bloomington and I am glad our vet recommended them.

Thank you to the amazing staff at SportsVet! The care you have given to our poor sick baby Bert has been above and beyond. We brought Bert in for urgent care at 11PM and the staff worked diligently with us to figure out what was wrong with him. Extremely clean facilities, very friendly and patient staff who are always willing to pick up the phone and answer any questions you may have, day or night.

Special thanks to Dr. Vandiver and Dr. Dillon for helping us through the process of getting our baby boy on the mend! My husband and I are so happy to have him home with us and beginning to feel better, but I don’t think anyone is happier than his littermate Olly.
