General Info
Pekin Animal Hospital combines cutting-edge medicine with classic compassion. We have been a staple in Pekin for almost 70 years. Since our beginnings in the early 1940’s to today, our animal hospital is the first thing you see as you enter Pekin by crossing the John T. McNaughton Bridge. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality medicine and care to our clients.
We are a full service veterinary clinic that specializes in caring for dogs, cats, small animals, birds and reptiles. We focus on educating our clients on the best care for their pet. We offer comprehensive veterinary services including medicine, surgery, dentistry, pain management, hospitalization, exotic animal services, pharmacy, boarding and more.
Our veterinarians and staff provide professional service with a personal touch. We have a recently remodeled facility with state of art equipment that allows our veterinarians to provide the best care for your pet. We are deeply committed to the health and well-being of your pet. We are here because we love animals as much as you do!

My dog was pregnant. She is a Chihuahua min dachshund mix. She was having a complication so my husband took her here to Pekin animal hospital for help. She got an x-ray and hubby was told she needed a c section and that was the only option. He was quoted like $900 but then they bumped it to $1100. My hubby called his sisters vet in Farmington and was quoted $500 for the same c section. He took her to Farmington. The vet there didn't take an x-ray... put on gloves and felt around and pulled a dead puppy out and a living puppy followed. That vet in Farmington gave her meds to help with labor and ta da.... no unnecessary surgery for my already distressed doggy. I don't recommend this place. My total vet bill for the other vet was $120. Just the office visit and x-ray here was $140. I will not be taking any of my animals back to Pekin hospital.Read Less

In September, we switched our 2 dogs over to see Dr. Stacie. In this short time we found out our male dog had been misdiagnosed his whole life and had a very treatable skin infection. Within a few weeks, we learned our female had lymphoma and we lost her shortly after. I have never seen the compassion I was shown by Dr. Stacie and the office ladies. I'm so grateful we switched and that my dogs have a vet that actually care for their patients. I cannot thank Dr. Stacie enough for everything she has done for my furry babies! Read Less
