Patti, or as I call her, the Dog Whisperer, is absolutely AMAZING with my two dogs…read more I leave for work early in the morning and the dogs used to spend a great deal of time home alone. My dogs started to, on a daily basis, have accidents in the house. Understandably, because they were home for so long without going out. Now that Patti walks them daily, they have a whole new personality and are much calmer and almost never have accidents. It really was the best thing I could have done for them! My job allows me to Work From Home on occasion. I always know when she is here because my dogs go crazy when they see her car. She really is the sweetest person and does a great job with the boys! She was the easiest and BEST decision I ever made! We just LOVE HER!

We have a new Lab rescue, a youngster, full of energy, and were looking for a dog walker we could…read moretrust as our pets are family to us. Since we lost our last elderly rescue, our former dog walkers had retired so we found Patti, who unlike others I had called, immediately got in touch with me and scheduled a "meet and greet" to see if she'd be a good fit for our house. I can't speak highly enough of her. She's caring, professional, definately has working knowledge of dog behavior and we can rely on her, even when we had to make a schedule change on short notice due to an unexpected work trip. Our Lab just loves her, and waits for her patiently as soon as she senses it's about "that time" (with the same precision as "it's dinnertime!"

Thank you!

Dr. Velkov was amazing. He responded immediately to my wife's email about our dog now needing 2…read moreTLPO surgeries for 2 torn ACL's. Rumor was doctors won't do both at one time. I guess he recognized the seriousness of the case, and offered to do it the next day on a Sunday before he left for vacation the next day. He clearly knew his business as he took one look at Etta the next morning 8am and knew what needed to be done. Nikola was very informative and he explained everything in detail. He also showed compassion and confidence with his care. Etta just today had her one moth x ray exams. Dr. Nick took time from his surgeries to visit with us and share the good news about her x rays, and her successful recovery. He's more aggressive, and he surprisingly says she can take stairs and begin doing normal activities. The visiting doctor Rampersad was more cautious about activity, so we will ease into it. She was very sweet and compassionate, and got down on her knees to administer a flu shoot, and check her vitals. She was also very pleased with Etta's recovery! The vet med student Jenna was amazing both times! She spent a lot of time with us, and answered a lot of questions. She's gonna be a great vet! All the staff was friendly and efficient, and patiently answered billing questions. The price, while 2 acl surgeries would break most banks, is better than most if not comparable. The price beats Medvet in Chicago any day! While we still like our vet in Chicago we've used for 28 years, but we would come back here for more serious matters in a heartbeat, even though it's a drive to the burbs. It's a large, busy clinic with up to 5 doctors any given day. The big lobby can get full and loud. But the receptionists effectively get people and their pets in and out. Dr. Nick is awesome, and highly recommended for orthopedic surgery!

Thank you for your response. I appreciate you taking the time to address my concerns. My issue is…read morenot with your staff or with the communication about the fee. My concern is with the policy itself. While I understand that you choose to offer weekend appointments, I don't believe pet owners should have to pay a significantly higher exam fee simply because their pet needs care on a Saturday or Sunday. Offering weekend hours is a business decision, and I don't feel it's fair to pass that added cost on to clients who often have no choice but to seek care when their pets are sick. Comparing your fees to an emergency hospital doesn't change how I feel. Many pet owners aren't choosing between a weekday visit and an emergency hospital--they're simply trying to get their pet the care it needs as soon as possible. When your pet is ill, waiting isn't always an option. I respect that every business sets its own pricing, but I also believe pet owners have the right to express when those prices feel excessive. I hope you'll reconsider this policy, as I believe it places an unnecessary financial burden on families who are already worried about their pets. Thank you for your response.

She is also flexible enough to do a once-off walk every so often, and reliable enough to do a "field trip" every week. (She will take your dog to Graue Mill to explore, solo or with other dogs.) Her rates seem very affordable, too, so I never feel like it's a sacrifice to treat Chick to the best. She has even given me advice about how to manage my guy (who was a rescue with a few adjustment issues), and since she's certified as a trainer, it's nice to know that I can trust she knows her stuff. Highly recommended!
