I recently brought my dog to this new location of Loving Care Animal Hospital after I found a coupon on their website (25 $ off exam). I was a little concerned by the other review of this hospital but boy were they wrong! The staff was soooo friendly and the facility is gorgeous! The service was convenient and quick but in no way rushed. Dr Carlson took her time examining Scout and reviewed everything with me. She answered all of my questions!! Loving Care is a great hospital and I recommend it to everyone now! Check it ... read more

My dogs, a Maltese and a Chihuahua mix (who isn't the friendliest) and I love visiting Loving Care and have been going to them for 5 years now. I moved 2 years ago to Brookfield and still would rather travel the 26 miles for our annual visits. I've been to a few animal hospitals around my new home and still would rather travel the extra distance since I trust them with my dogs welfare. We visit every year for our annual exam and vaccinations and my Maltese goes in every year for a dental. I have trouble cleaning my Malte... read more

Unfortunately had to take our cat there to be put down. As my husband is sitting there, spending the last minute with our family pet, they come in and want pre payment. Yep, pre payment at one of the hardest times in a pet owner's life. Their attitude is beyond unprofessional. Dr. Carlson is a cold and rude individual. I truly have nothing nice to say, so I'll leave it at that. 

Business response:

Miss Barbara we are very sorry for your loss. The special bond is unbreakable, and those memories can never be taken away.

Called in and spoke to a "Laura" and again this place... ugh. It is still a shady Uber questionable money grab of incompetent vet services... Hope that it had changed, but the call just reinforced my initial impression with them about a decade ago, when they moved to this current location on Northwest Highway in Palatine. They had injured my cat and given him a leg infection from the incompetent bandaging of his leg!!! Who tf covers an open would without a layer of gauze before the sticky stretch bandage wrap? This time ... read more

Do I even need to leave a review? You can tell by the owners response to all bad reviews how flippant they are. So if you don't mind horrible bedside manners, holier than tho attitude and hidden costs resulting in exorbitant bills then this is your place! My experience is in line with most of the bad reviews. I work and live over 30mins from them so their we don't need to accommodate you, we need to accommodate us hours don't work for me. But I made do by sending my elderly mother in with my dogs for their exams. Well after... read more

Business response:

This establishment needs major improvement on their communication skills and should make honesty with their patients their FIRST priority. Their ineffective communication imposes a concern and brings on a perception that they lack compassion towards their patients/animals. I am appalled with their ethics and astounded by the lack of due diligence from a customer service perspective. There are many veterinarians that will accommodate your pet(s) and your family. I highly recommend against this facility.

The Veterinarian was fantastic. The staff, front desk are horrible enough to never go there again. My puppy received the last of his puppy shots. The vet mentioned that he was on the verge of a yeast infection. Did not prescribe anything. I followed her instructions but last night my puppy starts going crazy on his ears. I called the vet. Explained that I was there and the vet mentioned a yeast infection, could I get some drops. Front desk refused saying he had to come in for a problem visit. I ask what do you have availa... read more

lowest i can go would go lower. Bad practice and bad customer service. Do not care about your pet only in it for the money. Beware 

Business response:

It's truly unfortunate, the behavior you exhibited is completely inappropriate, unacceptable and frankly quite embarrassing. No one should treat anyone that way, regardless of who they are. If leaving a poor review makes you feel better, that's fine, as long as the next practice doesn't have to experience what we did. We sincerely hope you find a veterinarian that can support you & your pet's needs.

The December before COVID I brought my Cat in to be looked at. She had a mass growing in her mouth which was causing her eye to shut. The Doctor took a look and told me that nothing could me done and walked out of the room. She sent in the tech who was absolutely wonderful and comforting. He told me I'd know when the time came to put her down. That was it. No medication for me to give her! Nothing for pain or even her thyroid medication. Went to another Vet for a second opinion. They were nice enough to give me options tho... read more

Business response:

We’re very sorry to hear about the experience you had back in 2019. It certainly doesn't live up to our standards of care. It’s been over 3 years since you’ve been here, and we’ve made many great changes since then!
