The Dr and assistant were so nice and helpful. They explained everything and answered all questions. They were very good with the cats too! Definitely recommend them. read more

Exceptional in home veterinarian care at extremely affordable rates. Dr. Straily also explained everything in terms that myself and family could understand. If you own a cat, dog or other small animal (birds, rodents, lizards and/or fish) that require medical attention I recommend you contact Chicago in Home Veterinary Care (312)780-9310 for some world class medical attention. read more

Dawn is fantastic. She came and spent a lot of time with me and my senior gal. We talked through a lot of options about what was going on. I would highly recommend her. read more

Chicago in Home Veterinary Care - this was when i first got my girl... - Veterinarians Near Me

Dawn is professional and great with my cats Chiyo and Yoshi. She works great with my skittish furbabies

I couldn't agree more with the other reviewers here. Dawn is great. I won't repeat what everyone else has said, other then to tell everyone to check her out. The best part of it all, was that her services cost about the same as if I'd made a regular office visit. read more

This was a weight off of my shoulders. I have no car, no carrier, and an old cat who likes staying put. Finding this was great. Meeting her was better. I recommend this to anyone in the city. Super convenient, great knowledge, and customer service. Plus, very affordable in comparison to all of the other vets without the hassle. Thanks! read more

I have multiple cats and one dog. This is the first time I used Dawn Straily for my pets. The Doctor arrived on time with her wonderful assistant. Both women were very professional and absolutely wonderful with My cats and dog. My pets are My children and both the Doctor and her assistant treated them as such. The price for each exam and shot are equal to what you would pay if you took your pet to a regular veterinary visit with much less stress on your pet and yourself. Do yourself a favor and use this Doctor for your pet needs. T. Thomas read more

Dawn is literally the best. She cared for my chocolate lab Kinzie for over 4 years until we moved to Chicago and was such a life saver! As soon as I got Kinzie as a puppy he had really bad skin allergies and would itch himself until he bled. Dawn spent the better course of a year helping me get to the bottom of Kinzie's issues, testing various foods and medications until we found something that took away his itch! She literally changed my little guys life - and for that I am so grateful. Stop researching and just call her! read more

We just had our first house call with Dr.Dawn. LOVE her! She was lovely with my cat. Very professional,compassionate and inexpensive. What more can you ask for?? Couldn't be more pleased. Thank you, Dr.Dawn. From Jade and myself. read more

I'm so happy I found Chicago In Home Veterinary! Dawn is great and super patient and it's so nice not to have to get a zipcar and stuff my cat in a carrier and lug him and the dog around town only to have them get all stressed out and upset. Usually my cat comes home from a trip to the vet only to hide from me for a day or 2 (he really holds a grudge) but when Dawn came to us he didn't even run away after his shots! Dawn even found a problem with my cat's teeth that our previous vet had been missing. My furkids are so much happier with this service! I think the prices are very reasonable too. We used to go to Gold Coast Animal Hospital which is pricey but with Dawn we don't have to pay for a zipcar or cab or wait around at the vet for hours. So much better all around! read more

In home veterinary care, what a treat! I just moved to Chicago and Godzilla (my little but fearless yorkie) needed a consultation. I emailed CIHV and Dawn got back to me on the same day, I was able to get an appointment for that afternoon. She was very friendly and professional. Godzilla usually gets very anxious and nervous when we go to the vet, but having the vet come to us took away all his fear. Dawn is very knowledgeable, she was able to look at his medical records and make some recommendations that I will definitely be following. Godzila was weighted and gently examined, and we got his prescription made at a compound pharmacy. I was even able to pick the flavor for his medicine and choose if it would be in the form of treats or drops. I am beyond happy with the service and plan to have Dawn as our vet in Chicago! read more

Started using Chicago in Home Veterinary in December when I brought my new puppy home. We needed to schedule the rest of his puppy shots and I scheduled with Dawn that same week for a Wednesday evening. This was so convenient for us! As soon as she got there my puppy loved her, he looooves her. The first visit we set up a schedule for all future shots and we saw her every 2 weeks for about 2 1/2 months now. She is great when giving him his shots, with his physical exams and just everything. The prices are VERY affordable, the same as a clinic! We're over all very happy with our experience. Whenever she does run late she will let us know with a quick phone call. We will continue to use her services for sure! read more

I've reached out to setup an appointment via email, phone, etc. for several weeks and I have not received a response. (I do live in Chicago, not sure why it says otherwise) read more

We started working with Chicago In Home Veterinary Care way back when only had two cats. We had a senior kitty that hated the car (do any cats enjoy a car ride?) and started looking for a way to keep his health in check and his stress levels at a minimum. Enter in home vet care. We're so happy we found Dawn! Over the years, our furry family has grown to include 2 doggies + 2 kitties (and we are now at our max!). Dawn makes sure that all of the animals are up to date on shots and is the first person I call when one of the animals is not feeling well. Dawn is always quick to respond and come by to take care of the animals. She has prescribed medication, taken out stitches (don't ask), advised on our pets diets (some are chubbier than they should be) and generally cares for our animals just as much as we do. All in the comfort of our own home. When a pet emergency, teeth cleaning comes up or something that can't be done in our home and I have to load the animals in the car to the neighborhood vet, I realize how grateful we are for in home care. No waiting rooms, no nervous animals in unfamiliar areas, no unnecessary lab fees, etc. It doesn't get more convenient than this folks! read more

I was excited to use this service. I called and emailed multiple times with no response. As a future customer this does not make me feel like I matter. I will not be using their services. read more

Dawn is quite literally the best. I have an elderly dog that I can't take to the vet because his size (150 lbs.) and limited mobility. I trust everything Dawn has done for the last few years for Mowgli without question. She is incredible, confident and so knowledgeable, caring and absolutely dependable to insure the best care and follow-up. We are so grateful for her and couldn't recommend hew anymore highly. read more

Dr. Dawn was amazing with our pets, and we also thought very reasonably priced. It's much less stress to have the veterinarian come to us versus lugging them across town. We felt that she was compassionate and considerate of our pets and pocketbook. She even recommended a vet that could do X-rays same day which is nice for the situation that we are in. We highly recommend their service. Thank you Dr. Dawn and CIHVC! read more

Dawn is the best. She expertly guided us through the last years of our beloved cat, Gaia's, life...despite Gaia being a feisty calico who did not like being examined. Then Dawn helped us welcome two new kittens and get them on a path to great health. Dawn and the vet techs she works with are always professional and kind, happy to answer any questions, and a pleasure to have in our home. We moved away from Chicago this year and will miss Dawn so much! I recommend her services to everyone I know!! read more

After calling several in home veterinarians for an appointment on short notice (4th of July weekend), Dawn was the only one to get back to us and came out the very next morning at 8am to help us with our 19 year old cat. She was super friendly, kind, and very thoughtful with her advice. And the price for her visit was far far less than what I was expecting. Combine that with the fact that we didn't have to stress out our cat any more than he already was by putting him in a carrier and driving him to his vet, I can't imagine ever taking our pets to anyone else. read more

I recommend dawn to all my pet owning friends. She genuinely loves and cares for every little creature she meets and I have so much faith in her knowledge and experience. Our pets are so comfortable because she comes to see them in their safe environment where there is no stress. She has also been so comforting during difficult moments involving our puppy. read more

Dr Straily has been great with my 2 kits, Joey and Biscuit, they both had dental work done and teeth removed. She came home, picked them up and brought them back, all for very reasonable charges. The boys mean the world to me, and I am very happy to have found Dr. Straily through Yelp. read more

My cats and I love Dr. Dawn! I have one kitty who gets very anxious about traveling and when I moved to north to Rogers Park I knew my previous vet was just too far. He is a young cat and has had a lot of digestive challenges so he needs some ongoing care. I found Chicago In Home Vet care online and was impressed by the good reviews. They were all spot on! Dr. Dawn is fabulous!! She is easy to get in touch with via phone or text and is very flexible as well. I have had weekend and evening appointments which works great for me and my work schedule. She is also very friendly and does a WONDERFUL job of making the pets comfortable during exams and is very knowledgeable. Her prices are very reasonable too! It's so reassuring to know I have a responsive and caring vet for whenever my cats are sick and for wellness check-ups. Dr. Dawn rocks!! read more

My cat loves Dawn and I love that she makes house calls, is professional and responsive to follow ups. She also offers convenient times that work around my 9-5pm work schedule and is incredibly fair priced and reasonable. Thanks for the great service! read more

This is so overdue, but Dawn has been visiting my cat for well over two years now. As sweet as my guy can be, He doesn't like to be handled and is unfortunately not "vet friendly" (imagine Archie Bunker, George Jefferson and Oscar the Grouch rolled into one and that gives you an idea), but Dawn and her great vet assistants have been so kind and patient with him. When he was first diagnosed with diabetes, Dawn outlined a plan of what we should do and fully explained why. And because of her help he is in a good place now and the diabetes is manageable. You would be hard pressed to find safer hands for your little one(s). Thank you so much Dawn!! read more

We totally think Dawn was awesome! We called her Friday afternoon, she was already booked out on Saturday but she came out to see us on Sunday, I will also mention that Sunday is her day off, it was Mother's Day and she does not usually travel to the suburbs! She came a long way to help our dog! Thank you for the spectacular care! George and Pamela Carlson read more

Dr. Dawn Straily is the best!! She has been taking care of our dog for two years. We chose CIHV for the convenience of having the vet come to our house, and we have been so happy with her service. Beyond routine check ups, Dawn has always been easy to reach and quick to respond to questions via email or phone. We highly recommend Chicago In Home Vet. read more

Dawn is a miracle worker! Our greyhound had stomach problems for years, and Dawn proscribed food that helped him immediately. She has always gone above and beyond for our boy, I can't give her enough stars! read more

Dawn is great! I'm so glad to have my cat Lucy under her care. I love that she has a flexible schedule and can come see us at home - because my little one is EXTREMELY anxious and hates going in the cat carrier. She always has a ton of suggestions and provides options for treatment. Lucy is an 18+ year old cat with kidney failure and a few other issues. Before meeting Dawn, I assumed Lucy didn't have much longer and that her condition would continue to get worse. I honestly didn't even think she'd still be with us right now. The treatments Dawn has provided have definitely increased her quality of life - she has more energy, her appetite has increased, she has a healthier coat, and even plays like she did when she was a kitten! You can also tell that Dawn is naturally great with animals - Lucy gets very skittish around strangers but Dawn somehow gets her to stay perfectly still while being examined. As someone who is on a tight budget, the cost of Dawn's services (especially considering she visits us at home) is very affordable. The level of care she gives Lucy (and the peace of mind she gives me) is worth every penny. On top of being a great vet, Dawn is such a nice and pleasant person. I recommend her to all of my friends with fur babies and I'm so glad I found her! Thanks, Dawn! read more

I found Dawn back in August or September and after one appointment with her, I knew she was the vet for my dog. She is on time, great at what she does, and funny. She is flexible with hours and scheduling to find an apt time that works best. Unlike some other vets, it doesn't take weeks to be seen. I cannot recommend her highly enough! read more

I found Dawn online - who already had great reviews - while looking for vet care for our new puppy (Max). She did not disappoint - and the in-home service was a fantastic plus! She was everything I would ideally seek in a veterinarian: professional, knowledgeable, patient (took time to ensure I was comfortable with / understood all of the "medical" information being discussed), very gentle and kind with Max and clearly cares about the pets she cares for. Additionally, she was very responsive and flexible from a scheduling / follow-up standpoint. I will be recommending her to pet-owning friends & family. read more

My cat had an infected paw, but she doesn't do well going to the vet and this Chicago winter doesn't make it easy to go outside, so this was a wonderful solution to have someone come to my home. Not only was it easier, but Dawn is an amazing vet. She really took the time to fully examine Kiana to see if there was anything else besides her paw that was hurt. She was able to write me a prescription for an antibiotic, but even went a step further and had the medicine delivered to me! She also gave me a full report so I could keep this with my files so I can track what I have given Kiana. I am pleased to say Kiana is fully healed now and has gone to jumping on and off things regularly. read more
