100% recommend. About a month ago our puppy fell very ill and was extremely lethargic, vomiting, coughing and lungs sounded full of fluid, fever, and diarrhea. We honestly thought we were going to lose her. They took her overnight because the first hospital we took her too could only keep her until they closed (Premier Veterinary Services which I also recommend!). The doctors were amazing and nursed her back to health. They have options if you want to spend the night with your dog (pull out couch in a room to sleep on). The nurses and doctors there really care about the animals. During the hardest time they helped our Nova. We deeply thank everyone who helped our girl get better! Like I said this was a couple weeks ago and she is doing amazing now! Hope you got my thank you card in the mail :)

Very pleasant experience under the great care of Dr. Dhanota. Your clear communication and your kindness doesn't go unnoticed. Thanks to Joey for her assistance during the procedure and great instructions upon discharge, best of luck to you. Scott, thanks for smooth anesthesia and giving me guidance on the phone. Finally, I didn't catch their name but they checked me in and even reassembled the cage for me when Dusk was being shy, that was a really pleasant interaction to start the visit. Overall you can tell the staff works well together and truly cares for the animals! If the moment ever comes up I know I'll be coming here for help.

Its taken me months to be able to write this review without crying. When you have a pet, your worst nightmare is needing an ER for your loved fur-baby. But if you do ever need one, VEG in Buffalo Grove is where I hope you go. They not only take amazing care of their patient, but they also take amazing care of the family. In September one of our cats had a breathing issue in the middle of the night. The doctors discovered she had fluid in her chest, drained it, took images and sent everything off for testing. When she did not come out of the mild sedative they knew something was more wrong than they initially expected. The fluid was not an infection. The doctor explained, with care, that my 15 month old cat was experiencing heart failure. She explained my options, the possible outcomes, and what long term care would look like. We were luckily in a place to make the decision to try to save her. They kept her for 24 hrs and let me and my husband visit with her as often as we liked while she was kept in an oxygen chamber. AND when we were able to take her home, they were able to credit back some of what we had prepaid! I cannot thank them enough for saving our little Nutmeg. While we now know she does truly have a heart condition and will not live a long life, we are giving her the best we can for as long as she has. VEG of Buffalo Grove are life savers and I thank my lucky stars everyday they were there that night.
