I found this is one of the few places that I can take my reptiles in and get knowledgeable extremely kind and honest Veterinary Care. Drs.

My husband and I are first-time puppy parents, and new to the area. We turned to our trusty friend Yelp for help with finding a vet, and boy, are we glad that we found this place.Dr. Lindsay and the staff here are fantastic with our dog, and always so helpful and efficient. During one appointment, we arrived a few minutes early and actually ended up being finished with the entire trip just minutes after our appointment was scheduled to begin. This, of course, isn't to say they aren't thorough - they're incredibly patient and kind, and you never feel rushed or hurried to quit asking questions. Dr. Lindsay provided me with a ton of guidance as we navigated puppy socialization, and always asks follow-up questions about issues I mentioned on previous visits. I also feel like the pricing is reasonable, although I've never compared it to other vets in the area. Above all, the entire team is amazing with our dog - she gets SO excited when we pull in the parking lot.There are vets that are closer to our home, but I wouldn't ever think about trusting anyone but these great folks with our furry family member. So grateful for the reviews here that led us here!

Dr. Eisenberg is really great. I've been taking my one bird to a different vet for the last 8 1/2 years, but can't always afford his services. I decided to try Dr. Eisenberg after reading rave reviews when my older bird & my new bird came down with respiratory infections.
Dr. Eisenberg does most of the lab work in-house so it makes the cost very reasonable. It gives me peace of mind because you know what is happening right away instead of waiting days for lab work to be sent out & possibly further jeopardizing your pet's health since you're otherwise waiting days to start meds.
Dr. Eisenberg seems to truly care about his patients & their owners, has a great bedside manner, answers all questions & is easily reachable if there's anything that you forgot to ask at your visit. I'll definitely be seeing Dr. Eisenberg for future visits.

This is a lovely practice which treats their patients well, and takes the time to explain any issues to the adult who brings the patient/s in -- thereby healing the group as a whole. I drive from Wayne IL rather than find a new vet. The reasons are: 1. Their willingness to answer questions 2. Treating my dogs IN the room (if at all possible, which is about 97% for me) 3. The ability to run initial blood tests in their lab (some vets must send ALL blood work out which only further delays a diagnosis - in my mind)

Were new to this business as we have switched vets with the death of our Westie and the birth of our Scottie. It is a cheerful place and perfectly located for us. The vets are consistent and dedicated and not "travelling vets" on rotation from other clinics.
The assistants are kind and engaging and overall our experience has been very good.
Services we have used included initial puppy shots, an ingestion incident and a spay. All delivered professionally and economically.

Great experience! We searched hard for a clinic that could care for our small parakeet...and this is the place. We brought her in for a nail trim today. Dr Ken Eisenberg was very friendly with us, and handled our bird deftly and with great care. He gave us some great advice to make us more knowledgeable pet owners. To top it all off, their rates are very reasonable. Well worth the drive from Glen Ellyn--highly recommend this clinic, especially for small/exotic pets.

Wonderful caring staff. Last minute emergencies handled with no problems. Very good follow up on the status of sick animals. I had to put down one of my dogs, and they gave me a separate room to be with her during the end, and as long as I needed afterwards.

Dr. Eisenberg and his staff use a common sense approach to veterinary medicine. He minimizes the use of medicine, when possible, for maximum results. Vet practices can sometimes seem like auto repair shops trying to oversell you on thing you don't need. This practice is different from the large, high-volume pet clinics. Dr. Eisenberg finds the best, fastest and most efficient path to health for your pet, minimizing stress and expenses. And he has a warm, wonderful staff. This practice is a great find.

Housed in an actual little home, this practice provides a cozy atmosphere - at least for the humans . Animals are treated with tenderness and familiarity. All staff are great.

We love All Creatures Great and Small!!! They have taken phenomenal care of both our rabbits. One of them had some difficulty recovering from his neuter surgery at a different clinic and Dr. Ken Eisenberg was able to get him back to his feisty little self in no time. We had our other bunny spayed through All Creatures and she did wonderfully! The staff is all incredibly friendly. Dr. Eisenburg is an excellent teacher and you can tell he enjoys his job. Each time he's gone above and beyond to spend time explaining what is going on with the bunnies, whether it's been illness or infection, and doesn't add unnecessary tests or treatments to your visit. We are so glad we found them!

This place is great!....Dr. Bowes is fantastic!! She is extremely caring and very skilled. My dog of 10 yrs had dental work and a growth taken off his eyelid. I was very apprehensive about the dental work because I had never had to do that with my other dog of 17 yrs. But because of the way his teeth were situated alot of the teeth weren't being used thereby going rotten. Afterwards, my dog walked (ran) out of there like it was no big deal. Even with the pain pills and antibiotic, you would never know that he had any work done The eyelid and remaining teeth (she saved as many as she could) look great!! I was so relieved:-) My former vet wanted to charge 4X more! This was my 3rd estimate (1st time customer) and this will be the last time I go to anyone else with my pets. It's rare when you find a place/people that you can fully trust. I am so happy!!

I could write thousands of pages on how over the top fantastic this practice is, but since few would read that much, I'll say this: there is no better vet around. I've been going here for about 13 years, first with chinchillas and then with dogs. I'm one of those so-called crazy pet people and Dr. E has never once failed my animals, not once. He never tries to up sell and has even told me a few times when a prescription is cheaper at Target! It's strange to hear someone talk about feeling "taken" by their vet, that's so crazy! I've never felt that once. Seriously. I could never thank him enough for the care he has given my Mads and Mr. Rascal.

By far the most caring and compassionate vet's office you will ever step foot into. All of the doctors are absolutely wonderful and extremely patient. I always ask a million questions when I go and never feel rushed, they are all very kind. When I recently had to put my older dog down, I was overwhelmed by the loving support of the entire staff.

I have never in my life written a review, however I was so over the moon impressed by Dr. Andrew Eisenberg and his team I couldn't resist. I normally dread taking my dog to the vet, in the past she comes home drowsy and I come home feeling swindled, but not this time. Maci was a ball of energy, so much so I followed up to see if her reaction was normal. Dr Eisenberg was knowledgeable about her breed, and gave me amazing advice! NOT ONCE did I feel like he was trying to sell me on something, which was very refreshing. The whole staff was very kind and gentle. I have spent hours at the vet offices waiting on someone to even come in the room, even on occasions when Maci was really sick, but from the moment I walked in to the (extremely charming) office I was taken care of, I never felt like I was waiting. This was such an amazing experience, I got in my car and texted everyone I knew that had animals, to tell them they should make an appointment. I live in the city, but Dr. Eisenberg was worth the trip to Downer's Grove!

Amazing experience! We brought home a kitten that was found underneath a deck at an apartment complex, wanted to get the little guy or gal checked out. Dr. Murnighan was so incredible with the little guy (confirmed) and so helpful to us. I left feeling so relaxed and happy that we had a healthy new addition to our family. We both have never had pets of our own, but Dr. Murnighan totally put us at ease. Can't say enough good things about this place as a whole. So happy we decided to come here, all the good reviews are well deserved! I've read about some other vets not being "cat vets", this was not our experience at all, Dr. Murnighan held our kitty the entire time and loved him! Highly recommend!

I have been coming here now for several months. I can't say enough how happy I am to have chosen this clinic. All the staff is so kind and friendly, and they take plenty of time to discuss your pet's needs without rushing you out the door. I recently had to bring my beloved cat in because of an accidental ingestion of my dog's medication. I was out of town when it happened and I was kept fully informed and up to date on her condition via phone calls as I traveled home. Unfortunately a couple weeks later she had to be euthanized because of irreversible kidney damage. Doctor Andy Eisenberg, who had been caring for Autumn was there to make a horribly agonizing process as bearable as possible. His caring and compassion both to Autumn in her final moments and myself was so comforting. I am so glad my search for a new vet led me to All Creatures Great and Small.

This is the best vet EVER!!! I don't give many 5 stars but this place totally deserves it. Thanks to all you Yelpers, I found this wonderful veterinary practice. Exceptional service. Great prices. Wonderful care! I came in as a new patient, and my 7 year old dog needed his annual physical, rabies, and distemper vaccine. I also had concerns with his skin (an ongoing problem), and one of his teeth that was really loose and rotting (gross I know). The vaccines were priced at reasonable rates; I called other vets and it was the same. The tooth, my biggest concern, I asked if the vet could just numb it and pull it out. Dr. Murninghan took my dog back and said' "I'll see what I can do." He comes back a few minutes later with my dog's tooth gone! He said it came out easy and my dog didn't even cry!I was so so relieved that Dr. Murninghan took care of the tooth like that! My previous vet in Lombard wanted over $1000 to knock the dog out and extract the teeth! I was sent home with meds for my dog's skin, and a much happier pet. My dog was so so happy with his bad tooth gone; when we got home he was running around like a wild man! And I was super happy too, with the bill just over $200 for everything, and a super happy pet.FIVE STARS all the way to All Creatures Great and Small!

In February we adopted the sweetest dog around. (I know, everyone thinks their dog is the best. Ours actually is.) Link is a 15-lb ball of fluffy love (also a lhasa-poodle mix). Of course, pets mean vets. At a bare minimum we want to keep our furry baby healthy and free from parasites and such forth.Well, All Creatures was a great choice to take care of our pup. Everyone at the office loved him, Dr. Eisenberg was just great, gave us all the info we needed, and the fees were very reasonable. While I hope we don't have to come here too often (because nobody likes being sick or seeing their pets sick), I won't hesitate to bring Link in when he needs some medical attention.

We have trusted the care of our parrots and rabbit to Drs. Eisenberg and Antonicic for many many years and have been very satisfied with their knowledge, their advise, and the care they provide all around. Their staff is also well trained and courteous. I find them to be clear and understandable in their instructions and explanations, honest in their opinions and suggestions and how they arrived at same. I also find their rates to be reasonable and they have both gone the extra mile more than once when faced with a particular troublesome avian issue.I have absolute and complete confidence in this practice and recommend it everyone. My only complaint is that they don't have emergency hours themselves, but then most vet clinics don't. I do use one of their recommended emergency clinics for emergencies as it is close to me (Midwest) and I find their recommendation excellent as far as treatment, knowledge and diagnosis goes, although Midwest is costly.

I had to write a response to Jennifer and her review. I happened to be in the office on the same day her parents dog was in. The dog looked horrible when it came in, it could hardly walk. As a regular person, I could tell this dog was very sick. The office is small and quite intimate so I was sitting in the waiting room while the doctor was speaking to them. Doctor Jim came out to tell the husband that surgery should be done immediately. The staff even asked me if I would mind waiting to see the other doctor as my appointment was after theirs. Of course I wouldn't mind. You can imagine that I was a bit shocked that they did NOT opt for the surgery and instead took their very sick dog home. I cannot fathom not leaving my dog at the hospital if he ever looked as sickly as their dog did. I have been a long time client of All Creatures and trust them completely with the care of my pets. If one of the doctors were to recommend a surgery my dog would be on that operating table. I know these doctors well and they do not take their jobs or the care of their patients lightly. I am very sad that that poor dog had to die. I'm sure the owners are very upset as anyone would be, but misplaced blame is not the answer.

Please don't ever taken an animal you love here - they killed my dog!!!! My mom brought her dog here on Saturday morning because she was not keeping food down and they did an x-ray and found a round object lodged in her intestine. Dr. Antonicic told my mom she had 2 options; 1) have surgery to have it removed, or 2) give her prescription laxative to see if she can pass it. My mom VERY specifically asked if she didn't have the surgery on Saturday and waited til monday to see if it would pass would her dog be okay? She was reassured by this so called vet that SHE WOULD BE FINE - NO RISK!! Yeah well I don't know what his definition of fine is but I had to go to my moms house last night and carry out a dead dog!!!! I have since talked to 2 vets and BOTH said that Dr. Antonicic should NEVER have said there was no risk to the dog since the object was unidentified there was no way to know that she would be okay!! The surgery should have been done on Saturday and had my mom known there was ANY possibility that she would lose her dog she would have done the surgery, no questions asked. Thank you Dr. Antonicic and All Creatures Great and Small for KILLING an innocent animal!!

Not bad. Obviously prices at the vet are always high, would be nice if we got a break every once in a while.

I found this is one of the few places that I can take my reptiles in and get knowledgeable extremely kind and honest Veterinary Care. Drs. Ken and Andy Eisenberg have done a wonderful job with all of my bearded dragons and have helped me with some very complicated cases. They have literally been Lifesavers for us.

Super nice vets, always available to make room for a surprise visit. Great with lots of kinds of animals. Good for everything from check ups to surgeries. Every vet has always been exceptionally kind and never judgemental or imposing. Some vets can feel like a racket, but not this one. Love them.

My husband and I are first-time puppy parents, and new to the area. We turned to our trusty friend Yelp for help with finding a vet, and boy, are we glad that we found this place.Dr. Lindsay and the staff here are fantastic with our dog, and always so helpful and efficient. During one appointment, we arrived a few minutes early and actually ended up being finished with the entire trip just minutes after our appointment was scheduled to begin. This, of course, isn't to say they aren't thorough - they're incredibly patient and kind, and you never feel rushed or hurried to quit asking questions. Dr. Lindsay provided me with a ton of guidance as we navigated puppy socialization, and always asks follow-up questions about issues I mentioned on previous visits. I also feel like the pricing is reasonable, although I've never compared it to other vets in the area. Above all, the entire team is amazing with our dog - she gets SO excited when we pull in the parking lot.There are vets that are closer to our home, but I wouldn't ever think about trusting anyone but these great folks with our furry family member. So grateful for the reviews here that led us here!

Dr. Eisenberg is really great. I've been taking my one bird to a different vet for the last 8 1/2 years, but can't always afford his services. I decided to try Dr. Eisenberg after reading rave reviews when my older bird & my new bird came down with respiratory infections.
Dr. Eisenberg does most of the lab work in-house so it makes the cost very reasonable. It gives me peace of mind because you know what is happening right away instead of waiting days for lab work to be sent out & possibly further jeopardizing your pet's health since you're otherwise waiting days to start meds.
Dr. Eisenberg seems to truly care about his patients & their owners, has a great bedside manner, answers all questions & is easily reachable if there's anything that you forgot to ask at your visit. I'll definitely be seeing Dr. Eisenberg for future visits.

This is a lovely practice which treats their patients well, and takes the time to explain any issues to the adult who brings the patient/s in -- thereby healing the group as a whole. I drive from Wayne IL rather than find a new vet. The reasons are: 1. Their willingness to answer questions 2. Treating my dogs IN the room (if at all possible, which is about 97% for me) 3. The ability to run initial blood tests in their lab (some vets must send ALL blood work out which only further delays a diagnosis - in my mind)

Were new to this business as we have switched vets with the death of our Westie and the birth of our Scottie. It is a cheerful place and perfectly located for us. The vets are consistent and dedicated and not "travelling vets" on rotation from other clinics.
The assistants are kind and engaging and overall our experience has been very good.
Services we have used included initial puppy shots, an ingestion incident and a spay. All delivered professionally and economically.

Great experience! We searched hard for a clinic that could care for our small parakeet...and this is the place. We brought her in for a nail trim today. Dr Ken Eisenberg was very friendly with us, and handled our bird deftly and with great care. He gave us some great advice to make us more knowledgeable pet owners. To top it all off, their rates are very reasonable. Well worth the drive from Glen Ellyn--highly recommend this clinic, especially for small/exotic pets.

Wonderful caring staff. Last minute emergencies handled with no problems. Very good follow up on the status of sick animals. I had to put down one of my dogs, and they gave me a separate room to be with her during the end, and as long as I needed afterwards. I have referred friends and other family members to them, and have had nothing but thanks and good feedback from them.

Dr. Eisenberg and his staff use a common sense approach to veterinary medicine. He minimizes the use of medicine, when possible, for maximum results. Vet practices can sometimes seem like auto repair shops trying to oversell you on thing you don't need. This practice is different from the large, high-volume pet clinics. Dr. Eisenberg finds the best, fastest and most efficient path to health for your pet, minimizing stress and expenses. And he has a warm, wonderful staff. This practice is a great find.

Housed in an actual little home, this practice provides a cozy atmosphere - at least for the humans . Animals are treated with tenderness and familiarity. All staff are great. Humans will feel confident in the medical care provided. My birds and dog have seen 3 doctors and I loved them all. After the death of an elderly little bird companion, I received a hand written sympathy note that meant a lot to me. Lots of on street parking available.

We love All Creatures Great and Small!!! They have taken phenomenal care of both our rabbits. One of them had some difficulty recovering from his neuter surgery at a different clinic and Dr. Ken Eisenberg was able to get him back to his feisty little self in no time. We had our other bunny spayed through All Creatures and she did wonderfully! The staff is all incredibly friendly. Dr. Eisenburg is an excellent teacher and you can tell he enjoys his job. Each time he's gone above and beyond to spend time explaining what is going on with the bunnies, whether it's been illness or infection, and doesn't add unnecessary tests or treatments to your visit. We are so glad we found them!

This place is great!....Dr. Bowes is fantastic!! She is extremely caring and very skilled. My dog of 10 yrs had dental work and a growth taken off his eyelid. I was very apprehensive about the dental work because I had never had to do that with my other dog of 17 yrs. But because of the way his teeth were situated alot of the teeth weren't being used thereby going rotten. Afterwards, my dog walked (ran) out of there like it was no big deal. Even with the pain pills and antibiotic, you would never know that he had any work done The eyelid and remaining teeth (she saved as many as she could) look great!! I was so relieved:-) My former vet wanted to charge 4X more! This was my 3rd estimate (1st time customer) and this will be the last time I go to anyone else with my pets. It's rare when you find a place/people that you can fully trust. I am so happy!!

I could write thousands of pages on how over the top fantastic this practice is, but since few would read that much, I'll say this: there is no better vet around. I've been going here for about 13 years, first with chinchillas and then with dogs. I'm one of those so-called crazy pet people and Dr. E has never once failed my animals, not once. He never tries to up sell and has even told me a few times when a prescription is cheaper at Target! It's strange to hear someone talk about feeling "taken" by their vet, that's so crazy! I've never felt that once. Seriously. I could never thank him enough for the care he has given my Mads and Mr. Rascal.

Man, these guys are good. It can be a bit tough to get an appointment, but it is worth it. They are very caring and compassionate. All of the doctors are very knowledgeable and helpful and take the time to explain what is going and give you all of the options. I've lived in 10 states and 3 countries, and this is by far the best vet clinic I have found. I can't speak highly enough of All Creatures!

By far the most caring and compassionate vet's office you will ever step foot into. All of the doctors are absolutely wonderful and extremely patient. I always ask a million questions when I go and never feel rushed, they are all very kind. When I recently had to put my older dog down, I was overwhelmed by the loving support of the entire staff. There is no other place I would trust more than All Creatures Great and Small with the care of my pets.

I have never in my life written a review, however I was so over the moon impressed by Dr. Andrew Eisenberg and his team I couldn't resist. I normally dread taking my dog to the vet, in the past she comes home drowsy and I come home feeling swindled, but not this time. Maci was a ball of energy, so much so I followed up to see if her reaction was normal. Dr Eisenberg was knowledgeable about her breed, and gave me amazing advice! NOT ONCE did I feel like he was trying to sell me on something, which was very refreshing. The whole staff was very kind and gentle. I have spent hours at the vet offices waiting on someone to even come in the room, even on occasions when Maci was really sick, but from the moment I walked in to the (extremely charming) office I was taken care of, I never felt like I was waiting. This was such an amazing experience, I got in my car and texted everyone I knew that had animals, to tell them they should make an appointment. I live in the city, but Dr. Eisenberg was worth the trip to Downer's Grove!

Simply the best, kindest and most reasonable professionals in the region. This is a family owned practice (two generations) with a broad range of expertise. Their deep roots in the community insure continuity and compassionate care. They are not about finding billable hours. They are about care for companions and caretakers.

Amazing experience! We brought home a kitten that was found underneath a deck at an apartment complex, wanted to get the little guy or gal checked out. Dr. Murnighan was so incredible with the little guy (confirmed) and so helpful to us. I left feeling so relaxed and happy that we had a healthy new addition to our family. We both have never had pets of our own, but Dr. Murnighan totally put us at ease. Can't say enough good things about this place as a whole. So happy we decided to come here, all the good reviews are well deserved! I've read about some other vets not being "cat vets", this was not our experience at all, Dr. Murnighan held our kitty the entire time and loved him! Highly recommend!

Best vets in the area no doubt. They absolutely love your pets as much as you. They have now saved my beagle butts butt 2 times. She got sick last year and now again this year. Ate something and this year suffered pyometra. Shame on me for being that dumb owner but never once did they judge. Only help. They are always busy but wait times are short. The front staff is kind. Pricing is normal for vet care and they work with you on options too. If you love your pet go here!!!

I recently got fed up with Banfield and switched to All Creatures Great and Small. I am so glad I switched! Dr. Murnighan has been so good to me and my cat, Munch. We recently went through the process of creating a proper medication routine for Munch's heart problems. Dr. Murnighan answered all my panicked pet-mom questions with compassion and patience.The staff is cheerful and they are quick to return phone calls if you leave a message. I couldn't ask for better service!

I have been coming here now for several months. I can't say enough how happy I am to have chosen this clinic. All the staff is so kind and friendly, and they take plenty of time to discuss your pet's needs without rushing you out the door. I recently had to bring my beloved cat in because of an accidental ingestion of my dog's medication. I was out of town when it happened and I was kept fully informed and up to date on her condition via phone calls as I traveled home. Unfortunately a couple weeks later she had to be euthanized because of irreversible kidney damage. Doctor Andy Eisenberg, who had been caring for Autumn was there to make a horribly agonizing process as bearable as possible. His caring and compassion both to Autumn in her final moments and myself was so comforting. I am so glad my search for a new vet led me to All Creatures Great and Small.

This is the best vet EVER!!! I don't give many 5 stars but this place totally deserves it. Thanks to all you Yelpers, I found this wonderful veterinary practice. Exceptional service. Great prices. Wonderful care! I came in as a new patient, and my 7 year old dog needed his annual physical, rabies, and distemper vaccine. I also had concerns with his skin (an ongoing problem), and one of his teeth that was really loose and rotting (gross I know). The vaccines were priced at reasonable rates; I called other vets and it was the same. The tooth, my biggest concern, I asked if the vet could just numb it and pull it out. Dr. Murninghan took my dog back and said' "I'll see what I can do." He comes back a few minutes later with my dog's tooth gone! He said it came out easy and my dog didn't even cry!I was so so relieved that Dr. Murninghan took care of the tooth like that! My previous vet in Lombard wanted over $1000 to knock the dog out and extract the teeth! I was sent home with meds for my dog's skin, and a much happier pet. My dog was so so happy with his bad tooth gone; when we got home he was running around like a wild man! And I was super happy too, with the bill just over $200 for everything, and a super happy pet.FIVE STARS all the way to All Creatures Great and Small!

We took our 3 dogs to Dr. Eisenberg for years until we moved. I've never met a vet who will spend the time getting to know you and your animal. The staff were always welcoming and gentle with our dogs. I have yet to find a vet that can even compare to All Creatures in our new town. I truly adore this practice so much I'm ready to make the 45 minute drive just to know my dogs have the best care and attention!

In February we adopted the sweetest dog around. (I know, everyone thinks their dog is the best. Ours actually is.) Link is a 15-lb ball of fluffy love (also a lhasa-poodle mix). Of course, pets mean vets. At a bare minimum we want to keep our furry baby healthy and free from parasites and such forth.Well, All Creatures was a great choice to take care of our pup. Everyone at the office loved him, Dr. Eisenberg was just great, gave us all the info we needed, and the fees were very reasonable. While I hope we don't have to come here too often (because nobody likes being sick or seeing their pets sick), I won't hesitate to bring Link in when he needs some medical attention.

We have trusted the care of our parrots and rabbit to Drs. Eisenberg and Antonicic for many many years and have been very satisfied with their knowledge, their advise, and the care they provide all around. Their staff is also well trained and courteous. I find them to be clear and understandable in their instructions and explanations, honest in their opinions and suggestions and how they arrived at same. I also find their rates to be reasonable and they have both gone the extra mile more than once when faced with a particular troublesome avian issue.I have absolute and complete confidence in this practice and recommend it everyone. My only complaint is that they don't have emergency hours themselves, but then most vet clinics don't. I do use one of their recommended emergency clinics for emergencies as it is close to me (Midwest) and I find their recommendation excellent as far as treatment, knowledge and diagnosis goes, although Midwest is costly.

I had to write a response to Jennifer and her review. I happened to be in the office on the same day her parents dog was in. The dog looked horrible when it came in, it could hardly walk. As a regular person, I could tell this dog was very sick. The office is small and quite intimate so I was sitting in the waiting room while the doctor was speaking to them. Doctor Jim came out to tell the husband that surgery should be done immediately. The staff even asked me if I would mind waiting to see the other doctor as my appointment was after theirs. Of course I wouldn't mind. You can imagine that I was a bit shocked that they did NOT opt for the surgery and instead took their very sick dog home. I cannot fathom not leaving my dog at the hospital if he ever looked as sickly as their dog did. I have been a long time client of All Creatures and trust them completely with the care of my pets. If one of the doctors were to recommend a surgery my dog would be on that operating table. I know these doctors well and they do not take their jobs or the care of their patients lightly. I am very sad that that poor dog had to die. I'm sure the owners are very upset as anyone would be, but misplaced blame is not the answer.

I recently had to say goodbye to my best friend of 15 years. The entire staff made the experience more caring and compassionate than I could have ever imagined. They allowed me to come in during their off hours and spend as much time as I needed to say goodbye. I was able to hold my beloved dog in my arms throughout the process. They explained everything to me in detail so that I was aware of what to expect. They are the kindest, most gentle people I have ever met. Thank You. The Doctors at All Creatures Great and Small are the best!!!!

Please don't ever taken an animal you love here - they killed my dog!!!! My mom brought her dog here on Saturday morning because she was not keeping food down and they did an x-ray and found a round object lodged in her intestine. Dr. Antonicic told my mom she had 2 options; 1) have surgery to have it removed, or 2) give her prescription laxative to see if she can pass it. My mom VERY specifically asked if she didn't have the surgery on Saturday and waited til monday to see if it would pass would her dog be okay? She was reassured by this so called vet that SHE WOULD BE FINE - NO RISK!! Yeah well I don't know what his definition of fine is but I had to go to my moms house last night and carry out a dead dog!!!! I have since talked to 2 vets and BOTH said that Dr. Antonicic should NEVER have said there was no risk to the dog since the object was unidentified there was no way to know that she would be okay!! The surgery should have been done on Saturday and had my mom known there was ANY possibility that she would lose her dog she would have done the surgery, no questions asked. Thank you Dr. Antonicic and All Creatures Great and Small for KILLING an innocent animal!!
