I have been taking my green cheek conure to Animal House of Chicago for annual checkups for 17 years and have never had a bad experience. The doctors and staff are courteous and show their love for animals. I have also boarded him numerous times when necessary, and I feel confident that he is well looked after during those times. Animal House of Chicago is definitely the place to take your pet for great care.

I was there today with my Bunny Coconut for an exam and nail clipping. Coconut was so nervous but the Tech and Dr. Jennifer I believe were so nice with answering any questions I had and the Dr. was so careful with Coconut. Glad I chose this office.

I've been to a few exotic vets, but none have really taken the time to explain what they think is happening, how to best treat my guinea pig, and be up front with cost. I haven't trusted a vet like I trust these guys too really take care of animals and help them get and stay healthy in a very long time. I really can't say enough good things about them because everything exceeds my expectations, and I trust and feel that they really do care about animals.

I love it here. They are super friendly and accommodating. I took my guinea pigs here and Dr. Navarre is very caring. He always explains everything and isn't rushing if you have any questions. Even though I live in McKinley Park I like bringing my piggie here because it's def worth it.

They are always so kind. I appreciate their Covid consciousness by providing curbside and in person appointment options. They even have a separate area for dogs and cats to make sure pets are comfortable in the waiting room. Can't recommend them enough.

If you care about your pet please stay away from them. If I could give them below zero stars I would do it. For example they wanted to give anesthesia to my 14 years old kitty just to remove few pieces matted fur from his stomach. Seriously? Who does that? Especially, my sweet boy never been aggressive and violent and he actually always purred when my previous vet was removing the mats in previous years.
Unfortunately for me and my kitty his regular vet passed away last year so I picked this clinic after carefully reading the reviews and I got deceived by them. I strongly don't recommend this clinic.
