South Loop Animal Hospital

It's Mango's first birthday! Too bad for him I had a vet appointment scheduled for today. South Loop Animal Hospital still doesn't allow dog owners to come in due to Covid and I found another vet that does allow owners to come in. Well... they allowed me to come in for the pre talk but then they wouldn't allow me to come in for the part where Mango could use my emotional support, the examination room. Turns out Mango got lucky and we left without that examination! I'm really hating vets right now, they seem to love Covid so they have an excuse not to deal with us dog parents. Interesting thing is although we had never been to that vet Mango got terrified when I opened the door and he smelled whatever they use to disinfect. I had a really hard time getting him through the door, so that tells me how pleasant the past curbside drop offs at South Loop Animal Hospital have been for him and I had no clue. Unless it is an absolute emergency Mango is not ever going to see a vet again without me being present! In terms of South Loop Animal Hospital being vets I think that they know how to do blood work and all tests to check how your dog is doing but they would have saved me and Mango a lot of struggle if they had suggested to feed him raw instead of kibble. They took care of his eye infection and the skin infection he once had too but the 2 weeks of antibiotics came with 2 weeks of diarrhea. The flea and tick medicine they sell didn’t work for Mango’s digestive system either so I stopped giving him that and switched to a collar instead. In other words, I wish South Loop Animal Hospital was a little more holistic.

Holy moly are these people rude. If you want veterinary professionals who are kind and professional and know what they're talking about, and who treat their clients with respect, go elsewhere. Sheesh.

Excellent vet clinic in River North. All of the staff, vets and vet techs have been great with all of our visits thus far! Very clean and organized. Highly recommend for any vet needs!

South Loop animal hospital and the amazing staff has been an incredible resource for me. I have two cats, both of which have had medical emergencies in the past year. In both instances, they were quick to react and gave me the right advice. They also provide excellent follow up care. Dr. Simpson takes the time to explain everything and detail, and gives practical advice.nI’ve been to many vets with my cats over the years, and this place is the best. Especially in these extraordinary times we are living in. Thank you so much!

I took my dog GiGi today for the first time. Even with social distancing procedures, they were very organized, thorough, and timely. The staff is very nice and professional. And Dr Sanchez was very nice, knowledgeable, and thorough in explaining all details. Even though I was not in the office with GiGi, I felt very comfortable!
