I took my cat here this week for emergency care. Everyone was so kind and helpful, especially the gentleman working the front desk who helped me figure out a payment plan. The vet tech and vet were wonderful as well. My cat has vet anxiety, so it's always hard to take him somewhere and especially to leave him alone with people he doesn't know, but he has recovered very well and got back to his old self by the next day. The reason I'm only giving 4 stars (and debated giving 3) is because the air quality inside the clinic was so bad with such poor ventilation that I ended up getting knocked out with a sinus infection that will take me days if not weeks to recover from. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if it means getting quality care for my cat that I could actually afford, but I think anyone with allergies or respiratory problems should be aware before going in. I appreciate that having sick animals in and out is not something you can easily clean up after, and that a vet clinic known to be more affordable may not be able to invest in a deep clean or high quality air filtration system. I just wish it could be different and better, for the sake of the animals and pet parents who are more vulnerable to irritants than I am, and the staff who has to be there every day. I would definitely come back if needed, but I will mask up and take a preemptive Sudafed if I do. read more

We have brought Rocco here to update his shot records they are very attentive here and the front desk lady is very nice,

Paws and Feathers is absolutely amazing! They are always so accommodating and willing to schedule last-minute appointments when needed. The staff is incredibly welcoming, patient, and understanding -- they always take the time to answer all of our questions about both our dogs and cats.

I switched to the vet a year of so ago... a friend's advice... I'm very happy I did... great caring Vet...

Friendly staff, very knowledgeable and patient. Great neighborhood vet. Very reasonable prices as well. Glad I found this place.

Dr. Sarah and her staff are amazing! We can't thank her enough and wish we found paws and feathers earlier! Great with our gerbil.

After researching places with emergency/ walk in care this place popped up. When I called ahead they said they didn't actually do any walk in care but only appointments but luckily they were able to accommodate us same day. They were very kind and transparent about costs at every step of the way. There are also a lot of financing /payment plan options they have available at check out which makes it a lot more bearable. We will definitely use them again for regular pet care in the future. read more

Guest and friendly staff always happy to help I sincerely love coming to this place for our furry babies

They only care about the money and not your pets health. Not only that but the doctor kept on gaslighting us and telling us that she's a good doctor and to not write a bad review. I don't know what dr Sarah did to my pet but he died the next day. read more

My service dog is now deaf after going there. I could not get her into my regular doctor in time for a ear infection. So I took her here. Now my $1,300 service dog is ruined. They told me to take her back. I did and the lady had the audacity to tell me my dog could never hear. And then claims she had tumors in her ear. That needed to be operated on and needed to be put to sleep to do it. I immediately took my girl and left. 5 days later, I was able to get her to move it. He said there's nothing wrong with her ears, except for she can no longer hear. She Is a service dog they have to hear to take commands. People need to start contacting the Better Business Bureau. How's this place still open? They do not care about your pets! read more

I know this place has mixed reviews. But the best thing about this place is, you know your vet, you know they are gonna tell you the truth, and you know they are gonna do everything they can to help you pets. My cat has cancer and they performed a surgery that extended his life so much more than we thought. We knew the cancer would likely come back, and when it did, they gave me all the information and advice I needed to keep me calm and help me understand his prognosis. This is not what corporate vets will offer. They are a small business with a good vet. Give them a chance. Scheduling may be difficult sometimes but small businesses can only do so much and you gotta be patient. Thank you guys for all your help with my little guy! read more

I first met Dr. Sarah when she came to my house and patiently waited for us to say goodbye to my beautiful Great Dane Sterling who had osteosarcoma. He was at peace with his whole family around them. Most recently I came to Dr. Sarah to care for my dams litter of puppies (after calling 3 other veterinarians who said they wouldn't take newborn puppies) Every visit was exceptional! The Great Dane puppies were lovingly cared for and given all their deworming and shots! Several of the new puppies owners will be continuing withDr. Sarah (if they're staying local) and I've switched my adult Great DAmes over to Paws and Feathers as well! I need a veterinarian who can care for my 7 1/2 year old guy, my 2 1/2 year old dam and all and any puppies!! I cannot recommend Dr. Sarah and her staff more highly!! read more

I recently took my cat in to Dr. Sarah. My cat has chronic upper respiratory infections. Dr. Sarah NEVER showed. They kept saying she was stuck in traffic 40 minutes away. Finally, the tech got her on video chat to speak to me and she wanted to talk about vaccines and further tests that cost $325. She never saw, nor treated my cat. My cat was given her antibiotics prefilled in 10 syringes. It was the smallest dosage I've ever received in my life. My cat never got better. The dosages became dry and pasty by day 10. Every vet I've ever been to gives me meds in a bottle for me to administer. Which makes sense, in case you can't get it in their mouth and have to retry. Plus, the medicine once opened should go in the fridge. The tech said it was not necessary, but by day 7, the meds were paste. I would say about 4 dosages were a waste. They charged me $164, and THE VET NEVER SHOWED. My cat is still sick, and I am now taking her elsewhere. I called and complained, and the Dr. called me back with vague directions on how to find her, but there were no solutions to giving me more antibiotics. I asked for new meds. NO RESPONSE. I'm so angry, I'm going to the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND THE LISCENSING BOARD. read more

I've been going to this clinic for a while now and every time has been such a pleasant experience. The staff has been so kind and helpful towards me and my pets, especially during sensitive times of loss. I absolutely appreciate Dr Sarah for taking care of my animals and doing the best she and her staff can to give them the best care possible. Thank you all for everything you do. Even when ya'll are busy, you still have time to take care of every furry friend who comes in. read more

My gecko is dead now and I don't know how on earth to go on. I brought her for an eye problem and got eye drops that didn't end up working and she just got worse and died in their ER. They just gave her back to me in a PLASTIC BAG because it was upwards of $300 to cremate her on top of the $230 I had to pay for her "treatment" that didn't work. Wow I have just looked through more reviews. I am so so deeply regretful for not checking thoroughly first and not finding a second opinion. PLEASE CHECK THE REVIEWS FIRST read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE** I hardly ever post comments about any locations but when my dogs health is just looked at like it's money grabs I'm not happy. I've taken my dog to this location to see Dr. Sarah a few times and Every interaction just gets worse. everytime my dog has an appointment the check ups seemed rushed, they don't take their time to properly check the animal. My poor baby had a rash all over her belly and it was spreading towards her chest. All that was advised was if it gets any worse in the next few days Bring her back. No additional information ans to how it mite have happened what to use in the mean time. But surly they charged me $270 And sent us in our way. If you care about your animals health do not go here honestly if I could I would give zero stars highly disappointed. read more

Love this place- friendly staff and Dr. Sarah is awesome! She's very communicative and clearly LOVES the animals. She's the kind of vet you want looking after your furry family. For background, I just adopted a male kitten, and all was good for 6 months, until he became blocked. Took him to the emergency room for the procedure, but did follow up appointment with Dr. Sarah who helped prescribe the correct antibiotic (which the ER doc forgot to include) and got him back on track. I was so thankful, I still come back even though I don't live in the area anymore, and she remembers his name every time. Would definitely recommend. read more

I took my dog for a follow up on her ear infections and to get updated vaccinations. She was released with bad bruising around her legs and elbows. The vet was irritated when I asked her how my dog got bruised, explain "this is the first time someone has complained about this" and interrupted me the entire conversation. They never even looked at her ear, and seemingly didn't know she was deaf even though we explicitly told them multiple times. Overall, The vet was unprofessional, didn't do her job, and was irritated with me for wondering why they bruised my dog for a service that I am paying her for. Don't waste your money here read more

One more update ~ Dr. Sarah has now repeatedly accused me of harassment and threats, and sent me a letter claiming she has "filed a harassment report" (with whom, the police? ) Posting an honest review is not harassment so I can only assume she's trying to intimidate me out of holding her accountable. She has not sent my dog's records to me as promised, and when my vet called the clinic they claimed to have no record of my dog. The comment from the owner below also states that a 2 week course of treatment would have been proper, but they objectively prescribed my dog 3 weeks of (incorrect) antibiotics, so this seems like an admission to everything I've said? Update 2 - my vet confirmed that both the type of amoxicillin prescribed and the length of treatment were inappropriate. More importantly, she confirmed the refusal to take a urine sample and perform a urinalysis was negligent. Don't take your pets here - the doctor cares more about her pride than any living being on earth. I noticed blood in my dog's urine and this clinic had sooner availability than my usual vet, so I brought her in. The vet told me she could not perform a urinalysis because my dog's bladder was empty, refused to keep her long enough to collect urine, but assured me this was probably a UTI so she felt "confident" sending her away blindly with a 3-week course of antibiotics. The urinary symptoms improved but did not go away completely on the antibiotics, then the day after the 3 weeks were up, she started urinating bright red blood, MUCH worse than before. I scheduled a follow up appointment right away (for today). After checking in on the phone, I was left waiting in the parking lot for about an hour before I just figured they'd forgotten about me and left. Upon googling the antibiotic my dog was prescribed just now, I found that it is used for UTIs in cats, NOT dogs. So I paid this money-grubbing hack $200 for a cat medication that caused my dog's urinary condition (again, don't know what condition it is because the lady didn't feel like touching pee pee that day) to fester for almost a month. She's not doing well and I'm terribly worried about her; really hoping her usual vet can undo the damage. UPDATE: relayed all of this to Dr. Sarah over the phone. She mumbled a panicked half response about the medication she prescribed (calling it by the wrong name), then promptly hung up on me. These texts are from AFTER she tried to shout over me (taking at a normal volume) then hung up on me. read more

My husband and I adopted the most handsome cat Frank back in May. When searching for a vet (as first time pet parents) I read A LOT of reviews and did a lot of asking around. We finally chose Paws and Feathers and brought Frank here about 6 weeks ago. We sent them all the records the rescue gave us and were sure to let them know that as first time cat parents, we would need some hand holding. Side note, I had to resend his records a few times due to someone no longer working there, which should have been a red flag. When it came to the visit, we felt really rushed and left with some questions unanswered or not clarified. I called the vet after the appointment to ask follow up questions but didn't really get anywhere. And I mean basic stuff like is he overweight? How much should he weigh? Should I be concerned about... (I think you get the idea) Anyway, we decided that we didn't make the right choice and decided to establish care with a different vet. When we took Frank to the new vet, we found out that one of the vaccines given at the first visit was supposed to have a booster 2-4 weeks later. Since it now 6 weeks past the original shot, I have to start over with the first shot. I called Paws and Feathers to find out why I was not informed of the needed booster (remember, new cats parents), and the vet said it was an oversight of one of the tech's. Turns out they didn't really review the records we sent multiple times because the new vet caught that a booster would be needed immediately. I asked for a refund for the the shot they gave us weeks ago since I essentially have to re-buy it now. The vet offered us a deal to bring Frank back to get the booster shot but they already lost my trust and business. I am so glad that we 2nd guessed our decision and found a different vet read more

I had a terrible experience and poor service. My dog is epileptic and needs phenobarbital for his seizures. To refill his prescription he needs annual blood work. I came here and spent $300 to get his blood work done. This place forgot to send his results to the pharmacy. Then, I followed up 2 separate times and they 'took a message' because the vet was busy, and never returned my calls. Finally, I had to three way the pharmacist and this place (the vets office admin was some guy who was just getting frustrated the whole call and initially refused to let me talk to the vet) and Sarah Hadzic told the pharmacist she'll only renew for 3 months. I didn't even care at that point since I was getting low on medication. Even the pharmacist told me to look for a new vet after the call. read more

Paws and Feathers Veterinary Clinic - Terrible Experience with this Vet - Veterinarians Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I recommend this clinic to 100% excellent doctors who care with love, passion and dedication to our pets for me the best.

I took my kitten to this place for an ear infection on june 26th, turns out she had ear mits eggs, And they cleaned her ears with a flush. They have us an ointment to treat her ears. We couldn't get into her regular vet because they were booked and this was urgent. They made us wait for over an hour. Fast forward to today had to take her for a check up ( to her vet) and another kitty shot and the vet said she still had the ear mits eggs and that ointment they have us did nothing for it so now we have to do another treatment with the correct meds. They won't even give us a copy of what was done even thou I paid money they said for the vet to call them to get the records, that's some bull crap! This place has no idea what they are doing, total scam! Oh they told us if it doesn't work to come back for a treatment on them because of them making us wait. Bad service and the doctors don't know what they are doing! I will be calling them and complaining to them over the phone! Waste of money and time! Go back to vet school cuz you guys suck! read more

UPDATE: the business owner never reached out to me and their response is an outright lie. I will start by saying that I myself am not a confrontational person, but I also have been to dozens of vets before and know that the way this particular one operates is off. To start: I took my cat to his appointment and waited about roughly 15 minutes before being seen. I was surprised to see that I could not go inside with him either. My issues were mostly in communication. Not once did the doctor come out to greet me, ask about my cats issues, or even give me justification for the tests or medications she wanted my cat to take. It was like a game of telephone, the doctors assistant or technician would come to ask me a question or tell me something and run back and tell the doctor this information. I was appalled, because not only did I not feel HEARD by the doctor. I also felt like I was being played. They immediately wanted to run two very expensive tests on him but offered me no reason as to WHY. I am not going to cheap out on his treatment, but I want to understand what the thought process is and why the vet feels this is the best next step, none of which was given to me. They also asked me some off questions like: "Does your cat drink a lot of water?" Yes. "Oh then HE MUST have a thyroid issue, we NEED to run a blood test" What???? I brought him in for his sneezing and congestion!! My cat has an enlarged heart and a lung disease, and the treatment for each unfortunately contradict one another. So he cannot take lung medication without it affecting his heart. All of this information was in his records, in addition to his X-rays and blood work. They immediately told me he needs to be tested but gave me no reason as to why! They prescribed him a lung medication anyways, and had I not known any better he could have taken it and gotten killed or seriously hurt. He CANNOT take the medication without his heart being properly examined. It was not until I mentioned this that they decided to backtrack on their decision. Again, this conversation was not even with the doctor herself, it was with her tech who was running back and forth to deliver this information. ALSO. A man was in the lobby with me with his injured bird who needed to be put down. He did not go inside with the vet to bid his bird farewell. However, the strangest and most ridiculous part is when the bird passed the doctor brought the cage out, set it on the counter, said one word: sorry. And walked away. She couldn't even HAND him the cage ALSO. A man was in the lobby with me with his injured bird who needed to be put down. He did not go inside with the vet to bid his bird farewell. However, the strangest and most ridiculous part is when the bird passed the doctor brought the cage out, set it on the counter, said one word: sorry. And walked away. She couldn't even HAND him the cage This is the most bizarre and unprofessional interaction I have every witnessed at a vets office. I took my cat to VCA not even two days later and learned that none of those tests were even necessary, he is doing just fine. The doctors there were communicative, explained EVERYTHING to me in long detail and shared a long follow up email with me too. Quality of work is so important when we're entrusting our animals lives with your establishment. Please improve the way you communicate with your clientele. I will not be returning, ever. read more

This vet is amazing! A friend and I found a stray wandering in traffic late one evening. He looked like he was in rough shape and wanted him to be looked at and scanned for a micro chip. After calling several vets, who basically gave us the brush off, we found this one on a google search. They were extremely accommodating and concerned for the pups well being. He ended up having no chip. The vet shaved him because he was severely matted. They also gave us pain pills, antibiotics, and spray to help heal the infection on his rear end, as his butt had been matted shut. They have a genuine care and concern for animals here. I would not hesitate to recommend them. We ended up naming the dog Hendrix and finding him a new and loving home. read more

Again, Dr. Sarah doesn't disappoint! Always so knowledgeable with our fur baby, Lionel! You can just tell she cares and always has the animals' best interest. She's priced fair and always able to see us. I would recommend her to anyone! I have to say this- this is not a factory with 10 different doctors running wild. This is a one (wo)man show. You get individual time one on one time and build a relationship! read more
