Many many thanks to the staff at Animal House, St. Charles! Your understanding and compassion of my current stressful situation resulted in a win/win day! Izzy got a day out of her cage, all vetted and ready to go to doggy day care as needed. I got a break from worrying about her all day and we both get to enjoy her much needed mani/pedi! Thank you so much for what you do! Read Less

Enough cannot be said of Animal House. Their expert (and life saving care) combined with true caring and compassion is unmatched. We are most grateful for all they have done and continue to do for our four-legged best friends. Read Less

The doctors and staff at Animal House are amazing!. They all care for all the fur babies they see and will go to great lengths to make sure your baby is cared for. I can't say enough about this clinic. Read Less

Amazing team! I've been taking my pets to Animal House for over 14 years, and the entire team has consistently gone above and beyond to provide the best care. They have always been so helpful and supportive, and it's apparent that they truly care about the pets and the owners. Read Less

Our cat Junior was one of the first patients at Aminal House almost 23 years ago. Dr. Pete (and Dr. Alan) couldn't have been more caring and professional with Junior, our other cat Spot, and our dogs Max and The Rio! Even though we moved 13 years ago to Colorado, we know that Animal House is still providing excellent care as our mother has continued to use them for her cats. Read Less

I've taken my cats and dogs here for over 7 years, and over time they have been seen by all of the vets. The staff is friendly and flexible with scheduling, and are up-front with cost estimates when they are able. I've recommended this place to my friends, and will continue to do so. Read Less

My husband and I always have such a great experience here, from the tech's to reception! Jenna (one of the techs) who I've known for years is the absolute best, always answering my 50 questions with patience and knowledge. Our Pitbull Skye has been suffering with horrible allergies and they have all been the best at helping us find the root of the issue and even referred us to a great dermatologist. They always make me feel at ease. Thanks everyone! Read Less

The veterinarians and staff here are extremely attentive, skilled and knowledgeable.  I came to this office in crisis---another vet office recommended we put our cat to sleep because he was very ill with diabetes.  I couldn't bear it and took him home instead and called this office for a second opinion.  They got us in immediately (one hour after I called) and began treating my cat and it did not cost a fraction of what the other office told us it was going to cost, and it is a highly treatable condition (he's still with us and now in remission).  Dr. Pruss is amazing with her knowledge of diabetes and immediately put me at ease about our cat's condition.  Also, I have had experience with Dr. Gebhard and Dr. Griffith for both my cat and two goldens.  Every time I call to ask a worried question. . they call me back and spend whatever time I need discussing the issue. . even on New Year's Eve when my cat had a low blood sugar crisis.  They always get me in for an appointment quickly as well.  I am very happy we switched our vet care to this office and feel we are getting the best from kind and caring family veterinarians.

I am so thankful for Dr. Peter Ammon and the staff in St. Charles. Dr. Ammon is a fantastic diagnostician. My elderly cat has come up with quite a few problems considering her age of nineteen years. She has pulled through everything with the help of Pete Ammon and the staff. She's as happy as a little kitten!Read Less

We have been coming here for a few years now. Recently our cat was diagnosed with a rare cancerous tumor on his mouth. Thankfully it was encapsulated and didn't need more than a removal surgery. While it was a fairly simple procedure, my hats off to Dr. Ammon and the entire team at both locations. They treat our animals like their own, providing care, love and personable feedback to the pet parents. I know and trust them 100%. I feel the value for what we pay is well worth it and do not feel as though I am being overcharged even by a penny. I enthusiastically encourage everyone to bring their pets here. We just love them! Read Less

We've been clients for over 5 years now and the staff members here are just beyond excellent! They see both our 3 cats and 2 dogs, and I recommend them to everyone looking for a vet. Dr. Pruss has always been very kind and is wonderful with our furkids, very open and answers all of our questions. Dr. Sage has also been so wonderful. They've been there for us even during emergencies and have never been judgemental. They take their time, really connect, and remember; they don't just rush you out the door and onto the next client. I can't recommend them enough. If you guys at AH happen to read this, THANK YOU! Thank you so much for all you doRead Less

Hands-down this is the best veterinary clinic in the area. I have two dogs and a cat and I have been going to Animal House for 12 years. Dr. Ammon is compassionate and his love for animals is clear. He and his associate doctors are  highly skilled and keep  up with the latest in veterinary medicine. He has always worked with me when I needed a budget and given me options on treatments that are conservative and effective. Read Less

The BEST vet clinic around. We have taken our chocolate lab there for years. Dr. Pruss is honestly SOOO great with our dog. He had some back problems and she came up with a plan to try and get him back on track without surgery first given his age and it paid off! He's back to our usual loving, active lab again and we didn't have to put him through the pain of a surgery at such an old age or us through the significant expense. It's great to find providers that are looking out for your dogs long term quality of life in looking at options for treatment. Highly recommended. Read Less

I walked in without my cat and briefly told of symptoms I thought were urinary infection for my cat. I've had this issue in the past where that he had urgency, came to me complaining, and licking himself.  At another vet they recommended x-rays, looking for kidney stones, and blood work.  For which I complied.  I understood the necessity at the time even though I had my suspicion it was infection that all he needed was antibiotics.  Sure enough it was just a urinary infection so antibiotics was all he needed at that time.  For that reason I decided not to go back to Valley because I think by the symptoms they should have been able to save me at least $300+ by at least starting with antibiotics and if that didn't help then do X-rays and blood work.  At this time the symptoms are not as bad, but due to my experience I know it is most likely the start of another infection.  Animal House said because it's been two years they need to do the X-ray and blood work before even seeing the cat or taking his temp and it's just over $400 up front.  We've brought other pets here and spent $$$ paid in full at the time of service.  If they take the cats temp and it is elevated I'd go along with their suggestion on the spot, but they said this without even seeing the cat.  He's eating, no temp, no urgency in urinating.  It is again based on my past experience as a precaution before it really becomes problematic.  They won't work with you if your on a budget FYI.

Dr. Sage and the group at Animal House have helped me in so many ways with my Rhodesian Ridgeback. Where other vets have missed certain details and misdiagnosed my dog, Dr. Sage has helped me keep my best friend happy and healthy! He has identified specific skin issues, allergy issues, and has helped me keeping my dog's paws in good health in extreme conditions like heat and ice. I couldn't recommend this veterinary practice more for taking care of all of your pets. They offer impeccable services and the most accurate diagnoses of your beloved pets!Read Less

Both locations are great. This has been, by far, the best vet I have used. They are knowledgeable, compassionate, and kind, and I'm usually surprised at how low the bill is (but don't raise your rates!). We'll never go anywhere else. Read Less

This clinic is amazing. Friendly people and top of the line doctors. We see Dr. Ammon who we consider to be the 'Dr. House' of veterinarians. He has a special gift for animals and it helped us save our dogs life. We can't thank this clinic enough!!! Read Less

Dr. Sage is the best vet ever! We had the difficult decision to have a foster dog put to sleep today. Dr. Sage was so patient and kind...took so much time to just talk and work through the difficult time. We are foster parents for a dog rescue and I have to visit the North Aurora office often. The staff and doctors are top notch! Read Less

We love Animal House, especially Dr. Patrick Sage. He found solutions to heal our kids when we didn't think there were any, and has been gently honest when that was hard but needed. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else, and cannot recommend this practice highly enough. Read Less

Incredibly professional treatment and super caring staff. I always appreciate the call I get the next day from Animal House checking in on our dog to see how he is doing! I would recommend them to anyone. Read Less

Animal House is the best hospital around. Doctor Sarah Pruss is a Phenomenal vet. She takes the time, care and understanding to work with you and your pet. Doctor Pruss has never turned away a call or a question from my family when it comes to our pet. She understands how much we love our furry friends and she shows the same to ours. She is gentle with your pet and truly shows why she is a cut above the rest. I recommend Animal House Veterinary Hospital. Great people, great understanding, and overall great service. As long as I live in the area I will always take my pets to AHVH. Read Less

My wife and I have been going to see Dr Ammon and his associates since 1995He has taken care of our cats and we recently added a puppy to our family and we are using Animal House for him as wellEveryone who works there is great and they have always gotten us in for an appt quickly when we have had any medical issues with our petsI highly recommend them Your pet will be well taken care of if you choose to use them Read Less

There is so much I could say about Animal House. Dr. Gebhard, Dr. Sage and each staff member with whom we have worked are amazing. They are caring and compassionate. I strongly recommend trusting your four-legged family members to their care. Read Less

Animal House is hands-down the best veterinary service that I have ever used, and my family has had many pets over the past years. The doctors are incredibly compassionate, caring and knowledgeable.  They never hurry your appointment - you always get the feeling that they are really listening to your concerns. We have primarily had appointments with Dr. Ammon, who is wonderful.  I am always amazed because he always remembers us, our pets, and their medical issues.The admin staff and assistants are all friendly and responsive. They also reply to e-mail messages promptly, which is a plus in this busy day & age. I have also left phone messages for various doctors, and they have always called me back personally to help me with my concerns.  They have an on-call 24/7 service that I have used a few times, and even though the issues were not real major, the on-call doctor returned my calls quickly. I even had an issue one Christmas Eve, and the doctor called me back despite the fact it was a holiday, and took time to help me.We have unfortunately had two pets put down over the past few years, and the Animal House docs were an absolute key factor in bringing dignity and peace into the process. They cried with us, listened to our memories that we shared, and let us sit in the room as long as we needed to. It is obvious how much they care not only for their clients but for the pets as well.They are a little more expensive than other hospitals, but I feel it is absolutely 100% worth it for the quality of care received. Highly recommended. Read Less
