Pet Surgeries
Our experienced surgical team performs soft tissue procedures including spays/neuters, mass removals, and emergency surgeries. We utilize radiosurgery to minimize bleeding and employ pre-surgical blood testing to ensure patient safety. Post-operative care includes pain management and recovery monitoring in a controlled environment.
Wellness Exams
Annual nose-to-tail physical examinations detect early disease indicators through blood work, urinalysis, and fecal testing. Our personalized wellness packages address age-specific needs, including senior pet monitoring for kidney disease, diabetes, and arthritis through bi-annual checkups and lab testing.
Vaccinations
Core and lifestyle vaccines protect against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and feline leukemia. We provide tailored vaccination schedules for puppies/kittens and adult pets, including travel-specific immunizations and rabies certification for international pet travel requirements.
Dental Services
Comprehensive dental cleanings include scaling, polishing, and periodontal disease prevention. We diagnose and treat dental issues like broken teeth and gum infections using advanced equipment, emphasizing early intervention to prevent systemic health complications from oral bacteria.
Dermatology
We diagnose and treat allergic reactions, ear infections, and autoimmune skin conditions through allergy testing and multimodal therapies. Our in-house diagnostics identify parasites and bacterial infections, with treatment plans addressing both immediate symptoms and long-term skin health management.

My pup Elliot hates getting his nails trimmed, he is a basset with short, stubby legs. This team gets it done on Elliots terms (they figured out how to work with him last visit) and his nails look beautiful after.

Thank you so much for helping me with my Alaskan Husky, Kona. Everyone was very nice, very calm. They called me to come in earlier due to cancellations and were very attentive. They listened to my concerns and were able to assist; not overly pushy or salesy like other vets we've been to in the past. We were in and out within in an hour which was amazing. Very affordable and very nice, will definitely come here again and highly recommend. Thank you!

I love this hospital. The vet here is an amazing lady with a heart of gold. Extremely compassionate. I have never seen a doctor like the vet here. The prices are reasonable. I wouldnt take my dogs anywhere else. This clinic gets a 10 in my review. Thank you doctor for everything you have done for Ma and Chia. This doctor is going straight to heaven.

I love this pet hospital everyone from the front desk to the vet the whole staff is amazing and caring! I almost lost my cat due to labor complications and everywhere else was charging me an arm and a leg! She took me in right away even though she was fully booked and saved my cat! Since then I have brought all my animals to come see her! You can tell it is more than just about money with her. She takes care of your pets as if they were her own. I highly recommend this pet hospital.

I walked in on 9/6/24 and had a great experience. The staff was friendly, the facility was clean, and the vet did a fantastic job addressing all my questions and concerns. She was amazing with my puppy, Yuta, who warmed up to her right away. This will definitely be my go-to spot for all my puppy's needs. Big thanks to the Sunshine team!

I can't say enough positive things about Sunshine Pet Hospital. Dr. Rebala and her staff are wonderful. I was preiviusly taking my dog to a big box vet clinic and wasn't happy with the care my dog my receiving. I felt like it was just about the money. Dr. Rebala is so compassionate and keep costs reasonable so you don't feel like you have to sacrifice doing treatment or not. She always takes the time to make sure I understand what's going on and takes the needed steps to treat my dog the right way. I am so glad I found Dr. Rebala, just wish it was sooner because my dog is 13. My future animals will be going here, no doubt.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND AMAZING! By far the BEST! They took extraordinary care of our cat (saved his life from a critical bladder blockage) and had very reasonable prices. They were so kind and went above and beyond and we are eternally grateful! Best vet experience I've ever had!

This veterinarian is fantastic, I can't say enough good things about her! She is helping with my 17 year old cat while my other vet did not even see that anything was wrong with him. Her and her assistant love pets and make the whole experience easy. I would recommend Sunshine Pet hospital to any pet owner.

Today was a hard day for my daughter, Our dog Crackerjack was really sick and last stages. I called and Dr got me in on the same day. We had to put our crackerjack to sleep and she explained and respected our worry and talked us through that difficult situation we decided. I will definitely recommend Sunshine Pet Hospital for services like this and other services! Thank you for being there for us! Will always love you CrackerJack!

Absolutely love this vet clinic! As a frequent traveler with a dog, I have visited a whole lot of vets all around the world, and I can say first hand that they are not all equal. Even locally, I have had a lot of experiences with vets who are not so friendly, lack knowledge, or even mess up paperwork. At Sunshine Animal Hospital, I can promise you that you and your pet will get five star experience every single time.
The doctors and techs are so sweet with my dog, Bella, and really treat her as if she was their own pet. They also know so much about all of the technical questions that I bother with, and take time to explain everything to me in detail. I will forever be grateful for the times that they helped me get my paperwork in order at the last minute when I was having travel issues or needed additional vaccinations. Thanks to all of you for giving Bella the best care!

Dr. Rebala and her staff are amazing!! My cat, Phoenix, has been vomiting and showing signs of a possible foreign body. She took him in as soon as she possibly could and started to help him out.

There aren't enough kind words to describe Dr. Rebala and her staff. I'm so glad I started coming to Sunshine Pet Hospital. I've lived in 6 different states over the last five years, and this is, by far, the best veterinarian I have ever been to. I first went to Sunshine Pet Hospital when I was freaking out over a slight issue with my cat's ears. They were the only vet open on Sunday (but they have since stopped working on Sundays).
I was able to get an appointment the same day, and haven't gone anywhere since. Dr. Rebala takes time at every visit to talk with me, explain the choices available, and listens to all my concerns. She shows genuine care and concern for my cat. I have never felt more comfortable taking my kitty to see a vet. Dr. Rebala's staff are all friendly and caring as well. The prices are extremely affordable and she doesn't try to coerce you into treatments your pet doesn't need. She's up front and always honest. I wish every vet could be as good as she is. I'd give her a million stars if I could.

Checked this place out since I was in the area and remembered my dog was due for a few vaccines. They were ready for me the minute I called when the Dr was apart of the whole thing and even did a complete exam on my dog while he was there. The prices were unbeatable honestly. Definitely a place to check out. Alot of personal care for not alot of money.

I choose this hospital out of random for my cats to get the full work up with a dupage voucher. It was not my day when I had the appointment scheduled, but the employees here went above & beyond to make sure my cats received care. I highly recommend 10/10 they work with you the best they can with prices and knowing your animal is in good hands takes that much more anxiety off your plate when bringing them in!

Had to put my 15 years old dog to sleep due to old age with kidney failure. After research and calling many places, we have found sunshine pet hospital through Dupage County Animal Service. Their euthanasia & cremation services are half of the price of any other places.
Dr. Rebala and her staff were incredibly compassionate and supportive during the process. They made sure my dog is in comfort and gave us we plenty of time to say goodbye. The practice is clean with price transparency. We r so glad we have found them!
