Having been a client for 15 years, I cannot say enough about the staff and vets at Bethany. State of the art care, lots of education opportunities, staff that goes above and beyond ... From routine care to emergency to quality of life care... We love our vet techs, staff and vets at BAH. Read Less

We took our 1 year old pit to Bethany when our regular vet couldn’t get us in for an ear infection and rear-end issue. Dr. Brown and our vet tech were fantastic! He’s normally a nervous wreck at the vet, but they were so gentle and quick (yet attentive and answered all our questions) he didn’t have time to freak out. Dr. Brown’s genuine love for animals shines, and our pittie showed her lots of love back! Thanks for making it such a pleasant experience. We’ll be back. Read Less

The vet we have always does such a good job with our exotics and our puppy. She's awesome, the vet techs are nice, the staff all around are wonderful. My favorite vet office for sure, and so close to home! Would recommend for any and all pets! Read Less

I'm very particular about my vet being a cat friendly environment. Its stressful for cats to travel and its way worse when you arrive at a dirty office full of barking misbehaved dogs and piles of hair in every corner. I just moved to the area and was nervous about a new place but after getting countless recomendations, i chose bethany. They were overly accomodating to cats! They had plug ins giving off hormones throughout the specialized feline areas to help make them more r...elaxed and feline only rooms with dimmed lights and places to set the carrier up next to you. The doctor was sweet and gentle with my Merlin and the office was spotless. They even sprayed his carrier with the hormones to help his ride home be less stressful and it really worked. Only been here once now but i was extremely impressed and will definitely not hesitate going back with my felines! See more Read Less

Dr. Dominguez is not only an exceptional Veterinarian but a highly skilled Veterinary Surgeon as well. He actually formed artificial leg architecture for my rambunctious Beagle not once but twice since she mistakenly 5hought she could fly off a high exterior deck on two occasions. Results weren't Olympic calibre in that she fractured a back leg each time. Dr. Dominguez to the rescue in fixing both so well she doesn't even limp from either accident--amazing! I don't think you can go wrong entrusting your "fur baby" or mature animal family member to Dr. Dominguez. Read Less

Can't say enough about how stellar Dr. Corson is with our guinea pigs. Very knowledgeable and very good with them. Boarding the guinea pigs here is also a great experience. It's clear the staff want what's best for the pigs. Read Less

I have had a wonderful experience here! The staff is friendly and helpful and the veterinarians show that they truly care about the well being and health of my cat. Every appointment I have had has been a positive experience! The clinic is also exceptionally clean. 10 out of 10, I would definitely recommend this vet clinic! Read Less

Thank you Dr. Brown for taking good care of my dogs (and me too). I knew something was wrong with my dog yesterday, and Dr. Brown found something right away. She cried with me when she gave me the bad news. She stayed late and did everything she could to take care of both of us. Thank you for caring. Read Less

We had to put our baby down a week before Christmas 2017. That whole process was done quickly with such respect for both animal and us parents. We got a sympathy card this week from a tech that gave her laser treatments as well as from both vets that gave her care in her life. All not only signed the card but wrote of their memories of her. All are very busy people and for them to have done this is very kind. Read Less

We normally see another vet, but there was a time when our dog had a bit of an emergency. She had a suspected UTI, but the vet tech at our usual vet wouldn't schedule us to be seen before her next annual (which was 12 days away). We knew she needed to be seen sooner than later, so We called Bethany. I explained her symptoms, and they scheduled us in the very next day! It was a serious issue that would have quickly become worse. They seemed passionate about taking the best care of us, and they took the time to explain everything. I highly recommend Bethany Animal Hospital. Read Less

From a cat momma: This is a cat friendly practice (not all animal hospitals or per boarding facilities are), which means they study the unique needs of cats. They use pheromones to calm cats down, have a separate waiting room for cats, etc. I boarded my cat at Bethany, and my cat got the white parts of herself noticeably dirty, because she likes to roll around on the floor. I was ecstatic to find that they'd given my cat a bath on the day I picked her up, and her fur is all beautiful, clean, and non-irritating to my skin. I don't know how they did it, because my cat was a feral little monster to everyone who wasn't me. Read Less

They are amazing! They treat us and all of our pets with respect and compassion. The facility is clean, the staff are professional. We always feel as though our pets are getting the best care possible. In addition, we LOVE the Cat waiting room! Read Less

I was looking for an Avian Vet for my Sun Conure, Jenday Conure and Blue Crown Conure near Lee/Ogle Counties. I relocated to the area a year ago and didn’t want to drive into Chicago. Loved Dr. Melissa Corson. She was very knowledgeable and took great care of my feather babies. Facility was nice and well as the staff. Read Less

We have two cats, one of which has a chronic condition which necessitates more frequent vet visits. Bethany Animal Hospital has done a fantastic job of making it easy to take the cats to the vet! What normally would be a very frustrating experience is made far less stressful by the dedicated feline waiting room, cat-only Saturday ("Caturday") morning availability, feliway dispensers, and friendly vets and techs. Read Less

Bethany Animal Hospital went above and beyond to show our family care and compassion during a very difficult time. When our cat Mina suddenly fell ill, Dr. Corson thoroughly explained all of the treatment options available to us. Since my husband was unable to accompany me to the appointment, Dr. Corson made several phone calls to him over the course of testing to explain the results and suggest the next steps. Her knowledge, patience and compassion were a huge comfort to us ...in a very stressful time. I am extremely thankful for her guidance. We were unable to treat Mina, so we returned to Bethany for her end of life care. Every single employee (front desk, vet techs, Dr. Brown) was extremely kind to me in my grief and I knew that Mina would be handled with dignity once I left. Thank you, Bethany Animal Hospital. I will absolutely trust any future furry friends to your facility and will highly recommend you to anyone seeking veterinary care. See more Read Less

I've been bringing my dog here for 9 years but over the last couple years every single time I visit there is no one in the lobby and yet I'm forced to wait 20 minutes to an hour to get called back. I wish they had more respect for my time. Once, the tech even admitted (after my hour wait) that she "forgot" I was there. Ridiculous. I'm finding a new vet. Read Less

Very friendly staff, the vet sat on floor with my dog! Er appointments have always been available everytime I needed them. They even have dog-free days for cat visits if yours is super nervous about the vet. Read Less

Our cat Wrangler was very very ill and we had a strict budget . Though we still don't know what exactly happened with our boy Dr. Gruber and the staff were able to let us know what it would cost and helped us to make an informed decision . Wrangler is home with us and appears 1 week later to be pulling through his mystery illness . Read Less

We moved to Dekalb in 2014. This is the 3rd vet we've used. First 2 were inefficient and inconsistent. We find that Bethany has folks who are both kind and efficient. Prices are probably high end of normal range. My only issue is that there is no after hours emergency service. We had to drive to St Charles in a snow storm to get help for our dog who got sick on a Sunday morning. But, I don't know of any other vet that provides emergency service in this area either. Kind of worrisome. Read Less

I have lived in Dekalb for 3 years. I have gone back & forth between Bethany Animal Hospital and one other. EVERYTIME I enter Bethany Animal Hospital the staff is quick to talk with me, assess my pet's situation and determines the best path for care. You will LOVE this place as I do as they are so loving, caring and compassionate for you and your pet. I also found their pricing comparable to the other place. So I go in with full confidence that I am being well taken care of. Thanks to the vets (Dr Corson is my favorite) & staff for loving on us! Keep up the great work you do!! Read Less

Dr Brown was amazing with our elder dog. She took time to check her out and was very sympathetic to our feelings as we know or fur babies time is near. She has great insight for a dog (animals) quality of life. Read Less

Bethany Animal Hospital is a good place to take your pet for some tlc because the staff and facility is comfortable for both pets and their owners, and the staff is very compassionate and professional. We took our cat Mittens there early for an appt. and they saw us early and even had time for a check up on her ears. Thanks to the doctors and staff, out pet Mittens got the tlc she needed.

Can't believe I've never written a review! We have been going to Bethany for years with all of our pups and the doctors and staff have been awesome! Dr. Dominguez has always been so patient and loving with our pups. The techs and front staff are always kind and courteous. Everyone is so caring and thoughtful. I love going to Bethany! They provide excellent service and we are extremely happy with the care they provide to our fur kids :) Read Less

We had a small emergency and the office staff got us in quickly.  Dr Dominguez knew exactly what was wrong with the dog and a treated him so that he could come home.  We go here for yearly check ups and the staff is always friendly. Read Less

Are Dog was sick and we usually go to Praire view so we called them they told us there were no openings and maybe we could get in later and they would call us well we are paranoid people so we called Bethany they said yes you can bring him in but there's a urgent care fee which we didn't care about a fee we want are dog heathy so we went there they got us right in  did a exam and all the tests the doctor told me do you want a estimate on all these tests I said it doesn't matter how much it is the Doctor was great DR Brown went over everything with us X-rays and all the blood work didn't get picked up when it was supposed to so we had to wait a extra day but the doctor said she would call us from her home the minute it came in to give us peace of mind this is the kind of place I want to bring my kids cause that's what are dogs are to us you never want to go to the vet unless it's a checkup but if you have to its good to know there's a place that will be there for you and also they waived the urgent care fee thank you very much for giving us peace of mind and taking care of Geno we will be switching are vet to Bethany.. PS Praire view got back to us at 6pm to ask how are dog was after they were about to close Read Less

I have two dogs that I brought to Bethany. The first one who is almost a year I never had any issues/concerns with they always got her in. Always answered questions or anything I had. I brought my new 4 month puppy in and my feelings changed for them. I was going to do a Lepto vaccine for my new puppy. They wanted me to come back in 1 week for the start of the series and 2 weeks after that for a final one. I asked the receptionist if I had to pay for a vet visit each time. She advised she didn't know. They were getting close to closing so I decided to call back the next day and ask again. When I called back the receptionist confirmed I would have to pay for an exam visit and a shot. When I asked why she said a vet had to give the vaccine which I knew was NOT correct. I had worked at a shelter for a few years and gave vaccines to dogs/cats everyday. I simply took her to another vet who confirmed a vet did not have to give the shot a tech could. Also, confirmed I should not be charged for an exam visit. I'm not sure if both of the receptionists were really just unaware or if they were really going to charge.Read Less

All in all, amazing vet to take your pet. Positives: I have always left feeling reassured and confident, the employees fell head over heels for my dog and have always given him the utmost care. I have always been able to ask as many questions as needed, and never left feeling rushed or like the job was "half-assed" for lack of a better term. Dr. Brown has been amazing with my dog and always tries to find the option of treatment that fits our needs and his. Given there are times you just can't afford certain treatments, unlike other vets who pressure you to do the treatments anyway, they don't judge, but explore your options and work with you. I highly recommend BAH for your pet, and don't doubt they'll get the best care and you'll get the best service. Negatives: None. I would say the fact that they're one of the more pricey vets in town could be perceived as a negative, but pets are expensive. And you get what you pay for. Pay the money for quality service and ample knowledge/experience. Read Less

After my senior Chihuahua was seen at a different vet for more than a year and was mis-diagnosed with late stage heart failure, I was told that his lungs were full of fluid and the humane thing to do was let him go...I went to Bethany as a final hope that something could be done for him because he still had such life in him. I came to find out that Fritz did NOT have heart failure. He had developed chronic bronchitis and his heart was NOT abnormal. I almost euthanized my little old guy for a non existent condition! Thank you Dr. Domnguez for not only correcting this diagnosis but the care you have given Fritz. Always tweeking his meds if needed and following up on his care. Thank's to you and the staff, he is now doing wonderful and loving and living life to the full again. Can not thank Bethany enough! You truly saved his life! Read Less

Bethany Animal Hospital could not have been more compassionate, accomodating and professional when I called with an emergency. My dog collapsed without warning. They let me bring her in immediately, helped get her from the car and waited until I got there to get the info so they could treat her more quickly. Unfortunately I had to let her go but they made an awful experience bearable. From the front desk to Dr. Dominguez they were outstanding. I will return under better circumstances with my other pets.

I transferred my cat from an emergency clinic to Bethany Animal Hospital after he suffered a urinary blockage on a Sunday. Dr Stover was very caring, and thoroughly explained my options. She regularly called me with updates, and I felt that he was very safe in her care. Upon his release, she went over the home care instructions, including the medicines and food she was sending home with me, along with a printout of everything for reference. She called to follow up a day later, and I had some questions for her. She gave me the reassurance that I needed. She is also planning to follow up with me in a week, and we have an appointment in 4 weeks to check on his progress.I cannot say how thankful I am to have taken my cat to Bethany Animal Hospital. The staff there are very friendly and helpful, and Dr Stover is by far the best veterinarian I have ever worked with. I thank her for taking such good care of my Thomas!! Read Less

We switched over to Bethany Animal Hospital for our dog, and then switched all of our parents' dogs as well because of the excellent care we received by the veterenarians there. Our dogs range in size from 15 lbs. to 68 lbs, and they were very good with all of them... our only complaint is that they don't have a vet on call in the evening or on weekends to even answer questions, and the closest vet that does is VCA in Aurora.
