Devries Animal Hospital
Elmhurst, Illinois
General Info
Throughout Elmhurst, pet owners entrust the care of their cherished companions to the knowledgeable and courteous staff at Devries Animal Hospital. At DeVries Animal Hospital in Elmhurst, veterinary visits are interactions between the pet and the environment that is constantly gaining or losing its attention. This responsive model assists homes throughout Illinois. The initial way we connect with people is through the body language. Before doing anything, the team assesses tail position, and how the animal is situated, looking for minute hesitation and responses. The level of lighting and scent distribution in rooms can also be regulated to prevent the triggering of startle reflexes. The pet’s internal clock determines the appointment time. Some practitioners begin the assessments with orthopedic tests, while others choose to start with a general scan based on where tension patterns are observed. DeVries Animal Hospital aids all species through diagnostics, lab work, disease prevention techniques, orthopedics, dermatology, and dental care. The steps might be skipped or performed in a different order when the dog shows other signs, like the dog licks its lips and combines paw withdrawal with looking away. Pain indicators such as posture and breath are considered over vocalization, which is vital in stoic breeds and prey species. Reacclimation after treatment is encouraged. Families are informed about the behavior manifestations to look out for, the indicators of secondary stress, and situations when decompression should take priority over other activities. Home care plans are designed to target the pet’s sensory threshold rather than physical recovery-only factors. DeVries Animal Hospital brings an elevated veterinary experience to Illinois homes through its gentle, conversational approach that listens to and respects the signals animals give about their comfort, confusion, and calmness. Some of the popular services offered in the facility include pain management, vaccinations, wellness exams, boarding, bloodwork, allergy testing, diagnostics and mobile vet services. Other services are orthopedic surgery and neuter/spay all provided in a personalized and professional care approach. Whether it is a simple wellness plan or a complex health problem, pet owners can rest assured that their pets are in safe hands because of the close contact and high standards maintained at Devries Animal Hospital. The team is dedicated to ongoing development and community involvement, aiming to ensure that pets in Elmhurst and across the United States have access to quality services.

I would highly recommend the DeVries animal hospital to anyone who is looking for a high quality vet. Dr DeVries cares tremendously for both people and animals. Every time I see him he remembers everything about me (and my pets). He also doesn't pressure any choices but gives me all the relevant information I need and let's me choose the path to take. He is knowledgeable, kind, and professional and I would gladly recommend him to anyone who is in need of his services.

We absolutely love Dr Devries! He has been so helpful with our goldendoodle, Charlie. Charlie LOVES seeing him and never dreads the vet. Whenever we go, Dr Devries takes the time to ask about Charlie and my wife and I. He remembers what we do for a living and takes that extra step to find out how our lives are. We don't feel like another patient when we go, we feel like friends catching up. He always takes great care of Charlie and we feel 100% comfortable that he is in great hands each and every time.

Our dog was very sick and our regular Vet was closed so DeVries took us in same day as a new patient, which was much appreciated. As it turned out, our dog had to be put down and Dr Daly was the kindest, most caring Doctor. Made the experience a little easier to handle. Too bad we won't be going back, we'll be staying pet-free. Otherwise I would highly recommend them.

Haven taken my furkids to DeVries since getting my first pup in 1993. Dr. Devries and his staff, from other doctors to vet techs and office staff, consistently are more professional and compassionate than most people found in HUMAN medical facilities. Dr. DeVries himself and other doctors have gone above and beyond in providing assistance to my pups when they needed medical attention and empathy and comfort to me when facing grave diagnoses or worse. And the best part, all of my pups have always loved going there.

First time visit this week with my dog. Dr Devries was so nice and thorough. He spent a long time discussing my pets medical history and options for her skin allergies. First time visit = discount! Can't beat that. Most vets I've been to try to push services on you. I didn't get that impression here. I will go nowhere else for my pets needs!

We've been using DeVries Animal Hospital for about 10 years. We switched to DeVries after a less than ideal experience at another (marginally less expensive) local Vet. DeVries has provided the highest quality care for our two dogs. The front office staff are helpful, and the Vets are extremely knowledgeable.

Impressed. I scheduled an appointment for a vet to see my large dog re: a second opinion about a growth that had been checked by another local vet. Dr. Daly was very friendly and respected my dogs initial apprehension to being checked. Very patient and it didn't take long for him to warm up and trust her. She was thorough with her examination. I had taken my dog to his regular vet not even 2 weeks before and she told me more about my dog than my old vet had ever mentioned. She addressed my concerns and was after investigation, told me of other potential issues I never knew. The facility was clean and very transparent with what they were doing at all times. Since our visit, we left our old vet and now use DeVries and Dr. Daly as our veterinarian.

Awful, AWFUL customer service and worse veterinary practice. I was told my dogs blood work would be available first thing Monday morning (draw taken on Saturday) and I would be contacted IMMEDIATELY because of the urgency of my dogs condition. I was never called, so I called for the results around 10:30am, I was told the results were on the doctors desk and she would contact me ASAP. Well, I had to call back 3 times after that and STILL, never got a call back. I had to actually go in to the office on my way home from work and walked in the door at 5:45pm where I luckily saw the doctor that originally saw us at the desk, and was told "I was just about to call you!" Of course you were, now that I'm standing in your f***ing lobby..... The only reason I even came here in the first place was because of the high reviews, and I would definitely question those if you are looking for a vet. The "doctor" I saw told me on two separate visits to go to VCA because they did not have the ability to help treat my dog. In my experience, this place is an overpriced, glorified nail salon, if you have any serious issues, be prepared to get charged $100 for an office visit just to be told to go someplace else. This place is a disgrace.

Though the service was pleasant, they charged $162 of which $27.50 was for a nail trim and then the rest on an examination and just a bordatella shot. I thought goods and services were generally more affordable in the suburbs than in the city. Guess not. I spent the good part of the hour visit in the waiting room, waiting for another dog to leave the lobby. Don't think I'd go back for regular vaccinations and check ups for these prices.

I normally don't write yelp reviews, but just wanted to support Dr. Devries and his Animal Hospital. Dr. Devries and his whole staff are absolutely dedicated to providing individually tailored treatment and care for my Boston Terrier. Everyone is friendly and remembers him by name from the second he walks in the door. They offer convenient hours and there's usually an appointment time open quickly, even in a pinch. As other reviewers have pointed out, they are a little expensive, but as with most things in life, you get what you pay for. I'm happy to spend a few extra dollars for the type of care and services offered at Devries.

My husband and I have had a positive experience every time we go to DeVries Animal Hospital in Elmhurst. From the first day we brought our puppy home, DeVries has been patient and helpful with all of our puppy parenting questions and needs. Even if I just have a concern (like the time my dog accidentally ate paint) I don't hesitate to call because I know one of the doctors will get back to me with a timely and knowledgeable response. Dr. Lannon has been especially helpful, and always has time to chat about our pets and answer any questions we have. I would recommend this place to any pet parent!

The people were nice but because I'm putting my kitten down in less then 8hrs I can't give them a good review. First off I've had my brother/sister kitties since they were barely 3months and they've been in perfect health. I brought my baby girl here 6 weeks ago, I don't have a vet for my kitties because they're so young and I hadn't needed one (shots and such were taken care of when adopted) Well I knew something was wrong with her, and my friend was keeping both my cats and in elmhurst, so I brought my girl kitty here. They pretty much told me my cat was going through separation anxiety and was stressed, understandable she was staying with my friend while I was in the process of moving. They also said she seemed to be developing a bladder infection so they gave me am antibiotic to give her. The last thing, I was told my cat was "constipated" ...yeah, no, my cat has a tumor in her intestines and is being put down because it's incurable. If that mistake hadn't been made those 6 weeks ago I may not have to put down my 1yr old baby that I love with all my heart and her brother wouldn't be alone with no playmate, his only sibling.

I went to DeVries for years with my pets, who are family to me. I was happy until a few years ago the service started to go down hill. I was refused a written perscription for generic pain meds, told my animal with an immune issue needed vaccines that caused a reaction, and cost me more money in medication. I tried to call and speak with Dr. DeVries and he was out for more than a week, when I did finally speak to him he was very condescending and basically told me that he didn't need my business. I don't see the concern for the patients, but the outrageous prices keep going up.

Last year, RJ our 6 year old Pom, had a large abscess develop on his upper lip, because he had either chewed wood with slivers; or may have been stung by a bee? We brought him in to see the doctors. They performed minor surgery to resolve this problem. Well, because of how they did this surgery , from the inside of his mouth, you would never guess he had this problem. These doctors are very knowledgeable and very good. RJ typically tries to run away from vets, but he actually likes this place. Dr Kathleen Meyers is one of the nicest doctors you will ever see, and RJ loves her. I would highly recommend going here.

I have been coming to Devries ever since my German Shepherd was just a puppy. They are very thorough and friendly with the dogs. They only reason why I gave them 3 stars instead of 4/5 is because I use 800 Pets Meds and if there is something wrong with the prescription they gave me or they have questions, they REFUSED to talk to Pet Meds. So Pet Meds cancels my prder and calls me and tells me that they will not move forward with the order until their concerns are resolved or I need a new prescription etc. Its like double the work instaed of them actually answering the question.I feel if that is there policy then why not match Pet Meds prices?

Dr Devries has cared for our pets for over 20 years. This includes annual check ups, diagnosis and, unfortunately, the end of life. Through it all there is compassion and integrity. You feel like it's someone who truly loves animals. Our most recent 2 kitties were from a shelter and they provided the new pet exam, testing and services and worked with the shelter. I just wish they could treat humans. They're more personable than my regular doctor.

We have been taking our pets to Dr. DeVries for 18 years. Dr. DeVries is always very nice and does a very thorough examination of our pets. Dr. DeVries has performed surgery on our dog more than once and each time she was cared for perfectly and healed very quickly. Our newest puppy ate a lamp cord and Dr. DeVries acted very quickly, took care of her and she recovered right away. The staff is always very nice and answers our questions and are also very attentive. If I call when Dr. DeVries is not there, another doctor is very caring and answers all of our questions. I would be very wary of the review sending people to another vet in town, seems very suspicious. I would highly recommend DeVries Animal Hospital.

De Vries is a great hospital! We took out dog there for his puppy vax when we got him, and Dr. De Vries was very gentle and kind. It is expensive, but you have to remember that quality should always come before quantity. One thing I like, that other hospitals don't do, is they make your dog spend the night after a spay, as well as a neuter. Most other places will only do this for spays. This is a great thing because somebody can monitor your animal after it fully wakes from anesthesia and can catch any hemorrhaging or other problems that can go unnoticed by the average animal owner. Also, the food Dr. De Vries recommends is Nutro, which is a great pet food! Lot's of other places will try to sell you Science Diet or Iams (which are both pretty sub par when it comes to pet nutrition).

I've been taking my cat to DeVries Animal Hospital for the last couple years. In addition to routine vaccinations, she's also had some significant dental procedures done there. The staff and vets are all very friendly and professional, and they don't try to upsell you on products like some other clinics. I have seen both Dr. Carr and Dr. DeVries, and they are both great. I deduct a star only because they are expensive, but its worth it to know my four-legged child is getting great care.

We absolutely love Dr Devries! He has been so helpful with our goldendoodle, Charlie. Charlie LOVES seeing him and never dreads the vet. Whenever we go, Dr Devries takes the time to ask about Charlie and my wife and I. He remembers what we do for a living and takes that extra step to find out how our lives are. We don't feel like another patient when we go, we feel like friends catching up. He always takes great care of Charlie and we feel 100% comfortable that he is in great hands each and every time.

Our dog was very sick and our regular Vet was closed so DeVries took us in same day as a new patient, which was much appreciated. As it turned out, our dog had to be put down and Dr Daly was the kindest, most caring Doctor. Made the experience a little easier to handle. Too bad we won't be going back, we'll be staying pet-free. Otherwise I would highly recommend them.

Haven taken my furkids to DeVries since getting my first pup in 1993. Dr. Devries and his staff, from other doctors to vet techs and office staff, consistently are more professional and compassionate than most people found in HUMAN medical facilities. Dr. DeVries himself and other doctors have gone above and beyond in providing assistance to my pups when they needed medical attention and empathy and comfort to me when facing grave diagnoses or worse. And the best part, all of my pups have always loved going there.

First time visit this week with my dog. Dr Devries was so nice and thorough. He spent a long time discussing my pets medical history and options for her skin allergies. First time visit = discount! Can't beat that. Most vets I've been to try to push services on you. I didn't get that impression here. I will go nowhere else for my pets needs!

Excellent, professional, thoughtful care.
We've been using DeVries Animal Hospital for about 10 years. We switched to DeVries after a less than ideal experience at another (marginally less expensive) local Vet. DeVries has provided the highest quality care for our two dogs. The front office staff are helpful, and the Vets are extremely knowledgeable.

We take our dog there after trying another vet. They were gentle and worked to make sure she wasn't frightened . I appreciate their patience with both Bailey and myself.

Impressed. I scheduled an appointment for a vet to see my large dog re: a second opinion about a growth that had been checked by another local vet. Dr. Daly was very friendly and respected my dogs initial apprehension to being checked. Very patient and it didn't take long for him to warm up and trust her. She was thorough with her examination. I had taken my dog to his regular vet not even 2 weeks before and she told me more about my dog than my old vet had ever mentioned. She addressed my concerns and was after investigation, told me of other potential issues I never knew. The facility was clean and very transparent with what they were doing at all times. Since our visit, we left our old vet and now use DeVries and Dr. Daly as our veterinarian.

Awful, AWFUL customer service and worse veterinary practice. I was told my dogs blood work would be available first thing Monday morning (draw taken on Saturday) and I would be contacted IMMEDIATELY because of the urgency of my dogs condition. I was never called, so I called for the results around 10:30am, I was told the results were on the doctors desk and she would contact me ASAP. Well, I had to call back 3 times after that and STILL, never got a call back. I had to actually go in to the office on my way home from work and walked in the door at 5:45pm where I luckily saw the doctor that originally saw us at the desk, and was told "I was just about to call you!" Of course you were, now that I'm standing in your f***ing lobby..... The only reason I even came here in the first place was because of the high reviews, and I would definitely question those if you are looking for a vet. The "doctor" I saw told me on two separate visits to go to VCA because they did not have the ability to help treat my dog. In my experience, this place is an overpriced, glorified nail salon, if you have any serious issues, be prepared to get charged $100 for an office visit just to be told to go someplace else. This place is a disgrace.

Though the service was pleasant, they charged $162 of which $27.50 was for a nail trim and then the rest on an examination and just a bordatella shot. I thought goods and services were generally more affordable in the suburbs than in the city. Guess not. I spent the good part of the hour visit in the waiting room, waiting for another dog to leave the lobby. Don't think I'd go back for regular vaccinations and check ups for these prices.

I normally don't write yelp reviews, but just wanted to support Dr. Devries and his Animal Hospital. Dr. Devries and his whole staff are absolutely dedicated to providing individually tailored treatment and care for my Boston Terrier. Everyone is friendly and remembers him by name from the second he walks in the door. They offer convenient hours and there's usually an appointment time open quickly, even in a pinch. As other reviewers have pointed out, they are a little expensive, but as with most things in life, you get what you pay for. I'm happy to spend a few extra dollars for the type of care and services offered at Devries.

My husband and I have had a positive experience every time we go to DeVries Animal Hospital in Elmhurst. From the first day we brought our puppy home, DeVries has been patient and helpful with all of our puppy parenting questions and needs. Even if I just have a concern (like the time my dog accidentally ate paint) I don't hesitate to call because I know one of the doctors will get back to me with a timely and knowledgeable response. Dr. Lannon has been especially helpful, and always has time to chat about our pets and answer any questions we have. I would recommend this place to any pet parent!

The people were nice but because I'm putting my kitten down in less then 8hrs I can't give them a good review. First off I've had my brother/sister kitties since they were barely 3months and they've been in perfect health. I brought my baby girl here 6 weeks ago, I don't have a vet for my kitties because they're so young and I hadn't needed one (shots and such were taken care of when adopted) Well I knew something was wrong with her, and my friend was keeping both my cats and in elmhurst, so I brought my girl kitty here. They pretty much told me my cat was going through separation anxiety and was stressed, understandable she was staying with my friend while I was in the process of moving. They also said she seemed to be developing a bladder infection so they gave me am antibiotic to give her. The last thing, I was told my cat was "constipated" ...yeah, no, my cat has a tumor in her intestines and is being put down because it's incurable. If that mistake hadn't been made those 6 weeks ago I may not have to put down my 1yr old baby that I love with all my heart and her brother wouldn't be alone with no playmate, his only sibling.

I went to DeVries for years with my pets, who are family to me. I was happy until a few years ago the service started to go down hill. I was refused a written perscription for generic pain meds, told my animal with an immune issue needed vaccines that caused a reaction, and cost me more money in medication. I tried to call and speak with Dr. DeVries and he was out for more than a week, when I did finally speak to him he was very condescending and basically told me that he didn't need my business. I don't see the concern for the patients, but the outrageous prices keep going up.

Last year, RJ our 6 year old Pom, had a large abscess develop on his upper lip, because he had either chewed wood with slivers; or may have been stung by a bee? We brought him in to see the doctors. They performed minor surgery to resolve this problem. Well, because of how they did this surgery , from the inside of his mouth, you would never guess he had this problem. These doctors are very knowledgeable and very good. RJ typically tries to run away from vets, but he actually likes this place. Dr Kathleen Meyers is one of the nicest doctors you will ever see, and RJ loves her. I would highly recommend going here.

I have been coming to Devries ever since my German Shepherd was just a puppy. They are very thorough and friendly with the dogs. They only reason why I gave them 3 stars instead of 4/5 is because I use 800 Pets Meds and if there is something wrong with the prescription they gave me or they have questions, they REFUSED to talk to Pet Meds. So Pet Meds cancels my prder and calls me and tells me that they will not move forward with the order until their concerns are resolved or I need a new prescription etc. Its like double the work instaed of them actually answering the question.I feel if that is there policy then why not match Pet Meds prices?

Dr Devries has cared for our pets for over 20 years. This includes annual check ups, diagnosis and, unfortunately, the end of life. Through it all there is compassion and integrity. You feel like it's someone who truly loves animals. Our most recent 2 kitties were from a shelter and they provided the new pet exam, testing and services and worked with the shelter. I just wish they could treat humans. They're more personable than my regular doctor.

We have been taking our pets to Dr. DeVries for 18 years. Dr. DeVries is always very nice and does a very thorough examination of our pets. Dr. DeVries has performed surgery on our dog more than once and each time she was cared for perfectly and healed very quickly. Our newest puppy ate a lamp cord and Dr. DeVries acted very quickly, took care of her and she recovered right away. The staff is always very nice and answers our questions and are also very attentive. If I call when Dr. DeVries is not there, another doctor is very caring and answers all of our questions. I would be very wary of the review sending people to another vet in town, seems very suspicious. I would highly recommend DeVries Animal Hospital.

De Vries is a great hospital! We took out dog there for his puppy vax when we got him, and Dr. De Vries was very gentle and kind. It is expensive, but you have to remember that quality should always come before quantity. One thing I like, that other hospitals don't do, is they make your dog spend the night after a spay, as well as a neuter. Most other places will only do this for spays. This is a great thing because somebody can monitor your animal after it fully wakes from anesthesia and can catch any hemorrhaging or other problems that can go unnoticed by the average animal owner. Also, the food Dr. De Vries recommends is Nutro, which is a great pet food! Lot's of other places will try to sell you Science Diet or Iams (which are both pretty sub par when it comes to pet nutrition).

I've been taking my cat to DeVries Animal Hospital for the last couple years. In addition to routine vaccinations, she's also had some significant dental procedures done there. The staff and vets are all very friendly and professional, and they don't try to upsell you on products like some other clinics. I have seen both Dr. Carr and Dr. DeVries, and they are both great. I deduct a star only because they are expensive, but its worth it to know my four-legged child is getting great care.
