McKillip Animal Hospital

I've been taking my pets to Mckillip for years now. I love that Dr. Larson has been following my little ones health since the beginning. Staff have always been caring and very understanding of my Chihuahua's bad temper.

My pets have been patients of McKillip Animal Hospital for a long time. They have always been kind to my pets and help me make the best choices for their care starting as puppies or kittens through their elder years (teens).

I made an appointment for my cat after her foot started bleeding. Even though they are limiting clients right now they made an exception for me since I just moved here and my primary vet is back in another state. Both the veterinarian and the vet tech were very thorough and explained everything to me. The vet tech especially did a great job of putting up with my cranky kitty. Overall, I had a great experience here and was thankful that they could help me right away

Positive: Responsiveness
When we needed meds refilled for our cat quickly, they acted fast and still took the time communicate medical information thoroughly.

I love this hospital. (Sorry story time) My dog at the moment has had a cough that is getting progressively worse so I made a vet appointment with Andersonville Animal Hospital. Jim Dickies is amazing. Even though he couldn't diagnose his problem and told me I may need to see an internal medicine specialist. He's also been e-mailing me for two weeks after the fact to checkup on my dog.
Every vet right now is booked out 4+ weeks and said I would need to make an appointment to be seen or go to the ER. Medvet, vcahospitals, goodvets and premier all said they couldn't do anything right now and make

We recently relocated to Chicago and had not yet established consistent vet care for our senior dog. When she became ill, we visited our neighborhood vet, however, when the time came to say goodbye to her, that vet was unable to schedule her. They recommended McKillip and I'm so thankful they did. This was my first experience saying goodbye to a pet and I expected the worst. Dr. Lauren at McKillip was so caring and didn't rush us at all, despite us arriving late in the day. The techs were compassionate and reassuring. We are so grateful for the experience we had at McKillip and would highly recommend

I had to have my beloved cat put to sleep over the 4th of July weekend, I was completely heartbroken. ALL the staff at McKillip Animal Hospital were professional and compassionate and made me feel like they loved my Lily as much as I did (and still do). This was my first time having to go through this procedure and the vet walked me through exactly what was going on, answered all my questions and let me hold her as I said my final goodbyes. In the mail yesterday was a card from them, which everyone personally signed and wrote a note of condolence, enclosed where her right and left paw prints that

Spoke with Margarita after I was already informed several weeks ago that I could bring my dog in for his vaccinations. Margarita informed me that they weren’t taking new customers at the moment (which I was not told this two weeks ago). Now all of a sudden we cannot come in for a visit at the moment. Wish I was told this a few weeks ago when I called. She was rude and short with me. Customer service is important especially being new in the area and trying to find a new animal hospital for my dog and to feel “at home”. Not a warm welcome!!!!

I went for my first visit to McKillip as I needed a same day appointment for my cat. I didn't realize it was walk in only until I read other reviews, but I was able to go in as soon as I called that morning.

I wasn't allowed to go in with my cat due to COVID, which was a bummer as I'm a helicopter mom, but the staff and Dr Bennett are really nice. Dr Bennett gave me a call after and explained everything I needed to know. I hope my cat gets better and I'll bring her back here again for her wellness exam!

They are very professional and friendly. I took my cat Carson who's fifteen years old there as an emergency and he was taken in immediately and after an hour to maybe two hours they called for me to pick up up. He was given great care sent home with instructions and medications and right now he is doing well. Thanks everyone at Mckillip you are AWESOME

Our cat developed an upper respiratory infection, and no local vets could get her in for at least 2 weeks. McKillip was recommended to us by one of the local vets offices, as they only take walk ups. The wait was long (not their fault- they had a lot of patients today), but that is understandable. I found the Dr Bennett to be helpful and honest, offering a holistic approach first, and recommending a more regimented antibiotic treatment only if needed. Pricing was average, and it is a great option if you don't have the time to wait weeks for your local vet. I would absolutely recommend this clinic

Pretty much the only vet in the city I could get into and they have amazing "walk in" hours. No pet parents allowed inside for now which is understandable until covid is gone for good. I was on a budget and the Doc walked me through the most important vaccines I should get done and what could wait a bit, very honest and appreciated. Also gave me a medication to calm one of my poor girls for her next trip she was not happy with her first car ride! A bit out of the way for me to travel but worth it 100%

I'd never been to McKillip prior to this visit--I decided to try them out because my usual vet had a three week wait for an appointment. Never again.

Every other vet that has cared for my cats took the time to explain the tests/procedures they thought would be appropriate, provided an estimate for those procedures, and requested approval. Not so with McKillip. I dropped my cat off and didn't receive a call until they had already performed a slew of unnecessary tests without my approval. It's clear that they were trying to run the bill as high as they reasonably could. Their prices

I have to say that I simply don't recognize the vet hospital that I've relied on for 40+ years [yes, 40+ years!] in postings that decry lack of empathy or professionalism in McKillip's response to theirs and their pets' needs. McKillip has cared for nearly a dozen of our beloved cats and dogs over four decades and never has anyone at this clinic expressed anything other than concern for their (and our--pet parents') well being and thriving. They've stood by us through multiple visits and re-visits to MedVet and Integrative Pet Care--not for every pet, but for those

McKillip has been our go-to vet animal hospital for over twenty years. And Dr. Glater, at McKillip, is our absolute favorite vet of all time! He has always been so kind, knowledgeable, and patiently answers all of my questions. He helped my beloved cat live until age 19; he came over to our place when it was time to say goodbye to my husband's cat to help her pass away peacefully in our home; and now he is helping our pandemic foster dog (who we adopted) beat heartworms with his expert treatment. Yes, McKillip is not cheap, but you really do get what you pay for for- esp. when you want

Our family started going to McKillip recently after we adopted our dog during the pandemic. We used to go to our vet closer to us, however it was almost impossible to get an appointment during these times. The staff here was so efficient and the process of the walk-in appointments they offer has gone very smoothly each time. Our doctor at McKillip is Dr. Brizgys and he is so friendly and helpful! We chose them specifically because of the walk-in appointments amidst the lockdown, however we'll continue going here even after things are back to normal!

My cat was injured tonight and in pain. I was referred to this location because our normal vet was closed, and was told they are a walk in clinic. Their website and phone message confirms this as appointments are only needed for things such as a surgeries and grooming, and walk ins are welcome during normal business hours.They even have an entire section of their website that says they treat emergencies.

The woman who answered the phone was cold, and dismissive. "I'm sorry, we can't help you." "It's a weekend." (It was Friday around 5, and their normal business

McKillip is a walk-in, immediate care animal hospital that was recommended to me by my primary vet when they were booked and couldn't see my dog who had stopped eating. I've been there twice now and I've been extremely happy with both experiences. They seem very sensitive to the fact that if you're bringing in a pet that needs immediate attention, then you are probably a stressed, worried pet parent. Everyone I came in contact with, both curbside because of Covid and over the phone, was extremely caring and kind. The vet techs take a very thorough history and when I spoke with

Dropped off our new kitten and he was seen and returned within 45 minutes by a very polite and friendly staff. This will definitely be our regular Vet!

Due to corona, my sick cat was basically dropped off at the door like a Grub Hub delivery. I was told they would call me, as I walked around the empty city, sobbing, waiting for the results of my cats fate. The doctor, friendly, said my cat was talking and moving. Omg! Really?! Amazing! As I was bringing him in, basically to hear the news of euthanasia is my only option. The doc started with an $800 charge for who knows what, then brought it down to $300 for bloodwork. and when I got my cat back he was exactly the same. Near death. Not chatty. Not walking. None of the things this doctor assured

Our family has been affiliated with this establishment for decades, as clients, and as business neighbors, and I cannot believe that the quality of care has degraded to the degree that my daughter experienced this week. She has no idea that I am posting this, but I am so angry for the treatment she received.
One of her cats, an elderly female, has been losing weight and energy, so she took her in last week, and it was determined that she was possibly diabetic, and may have a urinary tract infection. An antibiotic was administered as well as instructions to wait for a call with the results. The

Excellent service and professional staff. I have been very satisfied with the professional staff and immediate response that we have received with a recent emergency visit. They rushed the dog in, and knew exactly what to do when the dog was accidentally poisoned. Thank you Elaine to you and your staff for your help in our time of need.

They have a lack of communication and kept me waiting around for weeks they set up a work interview for me and left me waiting outside for 1hr. Terrible place honestly. Their staff was little to no help at all.

Only available for routine visits. 2 dogs later, still hard to get in touch with a vet. And when you call and vet 'is gone for the day', if you give a 'good enough reason' vet amazingly reappears at the practice. Our current Doc here was alright with out last pet's death. Coincidently, she was right out of Vet Med school at that time. Now we are dealing with a dying dog and we can't get in touch with a Vet. We simply want a little a little assistance as we handle this end of life issue again.

I can't get a hold of them by phone or email. I call the phone number provided on their website, (773) 248-7266.

There's no way to leave voicemail about your issue or contact them via email.
