★★★★★ I called in for an almost emergency for my cat. The lady I spoke with was extremely helpful and went above and beyond for my cats care! She asked important questions, directed them to the veterinarian and provided me with honest and thorough answers. They were even willing to make room for an emergency visit right away if needed.

Unfortunately our first time using this facility was not under good circumstances. Our elderly dog who had been slowly declining in health over the last year had a seizure on a Saturday morning and we knew it was one he would not be recovering from. We called Elwood Animal Hospital and they were able to quickly get us in to say goodbye to our beloved pet. Dr. Jonathan Raichel and all of the staff were very kind and compassionate to our situation. As emotional as the process is, they made it as peaceful as it could be.
