The Animal Clinic Suburban team is committed to providing the best care & service to our patients & you the owner. We love what we do & we're pet owners too. We know how important it is to make sure your pet is getting exactly what they need & is in good hands. Dr. Kaliff bought ACS in 2014. After practicing in a high volume practice she didn't feel like she had the time or resources to always provide the best care for each patient.
Receiving the news that your pet has cancer can be devastating & scary. Fortunately chemotherapy can be a valuable treatment option for many types of cancer that effect cats & dogs. An important part of choosing chemotherapy is understanding what it can & cannot do. Our goal with treatment is to improve the quality of life & longevity of our patients.
Did you know that gum disease frequently affects our pets? Periodontal disease is the most common condition that affects dogs and cats and is highly preventable. It can be seen in pets as young as 2 year old. Unfortunately, chews and dental treats often don't prevent it so professional dental care is required.
In order to keep pets as healthy as possible many diagnostics tests can be necessary or recommended over the course of their life. Although some unique tests can only be done at special testing centers or universities, most day to day tests your pet needs can be done quickly & appropriately in our clinic with state of the art equipment.
Having to make the decision to let your pet go is often profoundly difficult. Trying to determine when is the right time can leave you confused & second guessing decisions. The team at Animal Clinic Suburban is here to help however we can. Our focus will always be on your pet's quality of life & we'll always be clear about your options.

We adopted two kittens from the Humane Society 7 years ago and began their health care visits at Animal Clinic Suburban. Our cats are now senior kitties (hard to believe) and they are happy and healthy. If they become ill, we wouldn't think of taking them anywhere but to Dr. Melody Kailiff, who has cared for them all of their little lives at Animal Clinic Suburban.

Dr. Kaliff is FABULOUS and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I'd been told by a couple of other vets that my oldest cat was at death's door. After our 1st visit Dr. Kaliff called my girl's blood work "alarming" but after tweaking and monitoring for the past 8-9 months my 16 1/2 year old girl's blood work is coming back "perfect". Dr. Kaliff also found tooth problems in my other 3 cats that had not been noticed for years in other places...after clearing up those mouth problem the other cats are SO much happier! And my dog? Dr. Kaliff helped to isolate certain issues regarding my rescue dog's

My current rescue chihuahua is a medical miracle thanks to the fine Doctors and staff. As cliche as this sounds, they feel like family. Joni, the receptionist, always makes sure dog gets in immediately if something is wrong. And she is so comforting when I'm worried. Whitney and Carrie are absolute treasures. The Staff always remembers us. The doctors are excellent both in care and communication.
They don't give up until the find the solution. I've been taking my dogs to Animal Clinic Suburban so long we're on our third veterinarian because two retired. I have been particularly impressed by their

I've taken all my dogs, cats, and rescues to Animal Clinic Suburban for 25+ years and never, ever had a complaint about the standard of care nor the way my animals were treated - and I've taken in some pretty sick and injured animals!
There is a lot to be said for continuity of care for your pets. Just like having your personal MD, vets get to know you and your animals well if you take them in for wellness visits. When I've had critical emergencies they are able to pull up the records quickly so they don't have to do unnecessary test and they have a baseline for the animal's health. Most importantly

When we moved here 16 years ago, we chose Dr. Robin Nelson as our vet. Recently, Charlie was treated at the clinic. There is nothing that you could do to make the experience better. Charlie was so sick and I felt like everyone in the clinic was grieving with us. It really appeared that we were going to have to say goodbye to him. Then, when the antibiotics worked and the mass was no longer found, I felt that the clinic was celebrating with us as well. There is no way to make that better!!
