❄️ And now for the weather from Radar ❄️

"Expect a high of 25° F and a low of 16° F 🌡. Cloud coverage at 99% 🌨, but air quality is good. Be sure to bundle up if you have to leave the house; perhaps a cozy sweater. Sunset will be at 5:04pm 🌇"

We are open for procedures and appointments tomorrow. Repairs are complete. Yay!

Gracie's owner is looking to rehome her to a feline-loving parent. She is a beautiful 2-year-old tortoise kitty girl. She is spayed and a great gal, but she just doesn't get along very well with the family's current resident feline. To protect both gals and allow them both to live their best lives, Gracie will need to live in a new home. She is current on her vaccines and ready for her new future!
Please reach out to the owner directly if you are interested. 630-217-1078 (John)

Early this week, a dog tested positive for rabies in Chicago. We’re sharing important information for pet owners, including exposure risks and vaccination guidance, in our latest blog post. Please read to stay informed and up-to-date. We will advise of any new findings in the coming days and weeks.

Given the very serious nature of rabies infection, as it is nearly 100% fatal for humans and animals once it reaches the behavioral stage (meaning the brain has been compromised), we’ve put together a list of frequently asked questions that may be helpful.
