We finally moved out from Northwest Animal Hospital in Des Plaines (something we probably should…read morehave done a long time ago). Our family -- and especially Rocko and LiLo -- are now under the care of Animal Care Center of Buffalo Grove, with LiLo also seen at their Barrington location. This move has been such a relief. It's very convenient -- close to our home and also near the Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) 24/7, which gives us added peace of mind. So far, our experience has been excellent. The team here is responsive by email, text, and phone, and they even provide their own app for easy communication and records. Follow-ups are prompt, thoughtful, and truly show they care. Rocko has already been seen here three times, and LiLo as well -- each visit has been smooth, informative, and reassuring. Our whole family feels very satisfied with the level of care, attention, and compassion our furry babies are receiving. We're grateful to have made the switch, and we feel confident knowing our pups are in good hands.

I have been going to Andrea for over 15 years, and am on my 3rd dog with her. I am well past my…read moretime for leaving the review that Andrea deserves. Andrea is a phenomenal groomer who will not only groom your dog as asked, but treats your dog as if they were her own. Many times she has caught health issues that my vet couldn't find. There is never any judgment, just honest communication so you can address things if necessary. Down to the tiny bumps and lumps that most dog owners miss. If you have never groomed your dog yourself, you will never truly be able to understand the dedication, awareness and communication that is required to do this job. As someone who has attempted to groom my own dogs, the respect for Andrea is immense. If you love your dogs and consider them members of your family, Andrea is the groomer for you. There is personally not a single negative thing I could say about her (coming from a service based small business owner). Just book your appointment and you will see why she is the best in the area!

On November 2, I brought my 10-pound mini poodle, Phoenix, to a grooming appointment at Wheeling…read moreDog Spa (737 W. Dundee Rd, Wheeling IL 60090). I was excited to try a new facility, but unfortunately, the experience resulted in a distressing incident that has had lasting effects on both Phoenix and my family. When I arrived, I noticed another dog was still being groomed, which surprised me since I had understood the spa operated on a one-dog-at-a-time policy. (On their website, it states, "We follow the principle of grooming one pet at a time to minimize the stress dogs experience from a long wait time in crates.") The owner, Jane, provided me with paperwork to complete. During this time, I observed that she stepped away from the dog she was grooming, and I did not see another staff member present, which made me uneasy. After completing the paperwork, I returned to my car and saw Phoenix standing near the front door behind a small gate. Seeing him there alone concerned me, as it appeared that anyone passing by could potentially enter the store and access him. Wanting to ensure his safety, I remained in my car to keep an eye on him. Some time later, another customer arrived to pick up her dog. I saw her interacting with Phoenix through the door, and then, to my shock, the door opened, and Phoenix got out. We immediately ran after him, but given the location near Dundee Road, where traffic moves at high speeds, I was extremely fearful for his safety. After about 20 minutes of searching, I received a notification that Phoenix's microchip had been scanned--he had been taken by a good Samaritan to the Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) in Buffalo Grove after being hit by a pickup truck. When I arrived at the hospital, I was devastated. The veterinarians were uncertain whether Phoenix would survive. He suffered a traumatic brain injury, pneumothorax (collapsed lung), and miosis with scleral hemorrhage (eye trauma). My husband and I stayed with him overnight, hoping and praying for his recovery. Now, more than four months later, Phoenix is not the same. He has become significantly more timid, shakes in the car (something he never did before), and exhibits anxiety in new places. Despite extensive training before the accident, his responsiveness has changed. This event has had a lasting emotional and physical impact on both Phoenix and our family. I personally believe this situation could have been prevented with additional precautions. If the spa has a policy of grooming one dog at a time, it would have been helpful for that policy to be clearly followed. The small gate at the entrance did not appear to be a sufficient barrier to prevent a small dog from escaping. Additionally, I believe steps such as ensuring dogs are kept further from the front entrance or keeping the door locked when pets are inside could improve safety. This experience has deeply affected me. My husband and I had to take time off work to care for Phoenix, and I had to rearrange multiple work commitments. More than anything, I now struggle with trusting anyone to care for my dog. While I am incredibly grateful that Phoenix survived, this incident has had lasting emotional effects on our family, and I sincerely hope that safety measures will be reviewed to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
