Please be careful this Spring! Make sure to research any and all plants and flowers before bringing them into your home (some can be deadly to pets). Don't leave any candy/food/cleaning supplies out in areas pets can get to. Let's keep everyone safe! 😁

Angel Fund Gifts! Our amazing friend Hope has made catnip toys for us! At least a $5 donation gets a small version and a $10 gets a big one. These have already been a HUGE hit with Castiel and Emmett (pictured). First come first serve!

Royal Canin is currently running a promotion and we want to pass the savings on to our clients! Ever wonder what your furry friends' genes could tell you?! Royal Canin has genetic testing for Dogs AND Cats that can tell us SO much. We can learn their breed, check for over 265 health conditions, and more. Check royalcanin.com for more information. Let us know if you are interested and we will order some tests! This deal won't last long!

Many are not aware of the dangers of heartworms or that mosquitoes are the cause. Education is important! Many are also unaware that cats are also susceptible and there is no known treatment for cats. Treatment for dogs is quite expensive. This is why monthly prevention is SO important! Let's keep our furry family members safe and protected!

EGG CARTONS! If anyone has any extra, we would happily put them to good use. Dr. K's son has a chicken/egg business and is out of egg cartons to put the eggs in. Thank you!

The Okaw Family Difference:
We treat our patients like family and family means everything. After surgeries, our patients are monitored by our sides. This means at our feet, in our arms, or us sitting on the floor with them. Sweet Oscie (pictured) has a support/comfort flower that she loves to carry around at home. She had it by her side as she woke up in our arms. We moved Oscie into a pouchy once she was fully awake so Debbie could use her arms, lol. Too precious!🥰❤🥰

We will be closed over the lunch hour (noon - 1:00pm) on Friday May 24th due to being short staffed. We will also be Closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day. We will reopen on Tuesday at 8:00am. Please remember that the University of Illinois has an Emergency Department AND an Urgent Care Clinic for after hour/holiday needs. Have a wonderful weekend!

Possible Nylabone alert?! We have had 3 cases of major teeth being irreparably broken/chipped/cracked in the last 2 months. These teeth had to be removed in EVERY patient. This is painful for your pup and costly for you. In each case, the owners could think of nothing other than the nylabones as the possible culprit! If you can't indent into the object with your thumb, do not give it to your furry friend. Throw away anything hard- they break teeth!
