GreenTree Vets are awesome. They love our sweet dog, give great advice including the "why" behind changing food or on advice they give for treatment. The entire staff is welcoming and accommodating. We've never been to a better vet - so happy we found GreenTree when we moved to the area in 2019!

We have been taking our pets to Green Tree Animal Hospital in Libertyville for almost 14 years, even though we have another vet only 5 minutes away from our house. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Dr. Hardy and team are top-notch vets who truly care for our animals.

I contacted them the day they reopened after the Christmas holiday. My dog had a lesion on his foot and I was hoping to get him I before New Years. They were so kind and responsive and were able to see him the same afternoon. All staff members were extremely friendly and welcoming, as well as being sensitive to my dogs needs and anxieties. Highly recommend.
