Veterinarians in St. Charles, IL

“Our dog got extremely sick from a vaccine she received at another vet. We did not feel comfortable going back there. Our dog had not eaten or had water for two days and it was Sunday. We went to an emergency vet which did not help much either. On Monday morning she was bleeding quite a lot from her rear. We called Gateway and they were amazing. Our dog stayed the day and came home Monday night pretty close to normal. A day later you could not tell she had any problems. Gateway is the only place our dogs will ever go in the future.”

“My dog tore his ccl and meniscus. They were able to get him a prompt assessment with same day surgery. Dr. Cook used less invasive surgery than a tplo. Very impressed.”

“Cannot say enough about the wonderful, caring staff and doctors at Gateway! VERY dedicated to helping your pet like it's their own. Old fashioned respect for you and your pets, very good communication and follow through whenever you need anything. They have really gone above and beyond for my sweet boy, currently a cancer patient. Many calls to my home after hours by his vet, the practice owner, working tirelessly to make sure we had the best plan of action - and many hours of research and communication with other specialists on my pets behalf. You will feel like your dog or other pet is the only one they see. Amazing front desk staff as well , just really good people who care.”

“I had my initial appt for my dog with Dr. Golden. My dog is almost 11 years old and has been with the same vet her whole life so changing was difficult. Dr. Golden was very warm, knowledgeable and welcomed my dog with open arms. The rest of the staff was also very welcoming. I feel confident this change will go well.

At my last appt I saw Dr. Amy with Jasmine. She was very professional and answered all my questions and concerns. Thanks Dr. Amy!”

“Dr. Ammon has cared for my family’s dogs since 1997, when we moved to the area. And even now that I live 6 hours away, I still bring my dogs to him for anything beyond routine medical care provided by my local vet.

He is caring, compassionate, thoughtful; he always explains things clearly and thoroughly; he has referred us to specialists when the issue was out of his wheelhouse; and I have always appreciated his candor and honesty when difficulties came up.

My Malamute Sasha had many medical issues over the years, and I believe the excellent care she received at Animal House contributed to her long life (13 years). (Sasha saw many vets at Animal House over her lifetime and they were all fantastic, but she especially loved Dr. Ammon.)

The administrative staff and vet techs are very friendly, caring, professional, and knowledgeable. Everyone there clearly cares deeply about animals.

15/10 stars, with no hesitation.”

“We had a traumatic experience finding a dead cat that had been attacked by someone's dog, and called all over the place late at night trying to find someone who could help us. After no luck with public services, we finally found Emergency Veterinary Services.

They were incredibly kind, compassionate, and handled finding the owners and taking care of the situation. Extremely grateful for them, and we'll keep them in mind when our own cats have late night emergencies.”

“We live in Sycamore & are more than willing to make the drive to St Charles to see our vet at St Charles Veterinary Clinic. We usually see Dr Vogel. She wasn't able to slip Pepper into her schedule so we saw Dr Amy & She's delightful! We've never had a bad experience there & we've never been disappointed in any way!

My dogs & cats always get excellent care!”

“Dr. Oriold and the rest of the team were great with regularly touching base with me when my dog was undergoing treatment for his congestive heart failure. They were also very accommodating when I needed same day appointments.”

“I visited the St. Charles Veterinary Clinic for the first time about two months ago. I took my cat in to get her yearly vaccinations, and get checked out because she had been having some blood in her stool. All of the staff were helpful and friendly. I forget the name of the veterinarian that treated my cat, but he was incredibly kind and the medication he prescribed healed my cat promptly! I also thought everything was quite affordable and fairly priced. You can tell they truly care about your pets! My cat and I will be coming here from now on!”

“I have to keep this short before I start bawling again but wanted to give a huge recommendation for this place as an ER because a few days ago my husband and I had that nightmare, the one every single person reading this dreads, when one of our beloved cats died very suddenly, as in one minute the cat who had not been sick at all was playing and fine and the next he'd frozen up into some kind of siezure and stopped breathing in a matter of seconds. Terrified and in shock I googled ER vet near me and thank God I got this place, calling them while running to the car with our cat. We lost him, yes, to an apparent heart attack, but the kindness and care and steadfast feeling this clinic gave us when we needed it most has won them our loyalty and I'm grateful to everyone on staff that night for taking care of us, and of Captain Larry.”
