This is my most amazing cat Hair Bear II He wouldn't be here any longer without the wonderful care he gets from Paws vets and staff. They are wonderful and very caring. They love your animals almost as much as you do. Of coarse no one can love them as much as you but they come very close. I don't know what happened to the picture. but I did try to put one on here. I didn't notice the address before. The Paws and Claws Animal Clinic I know is at 3107 Kunkle BLVD Freeport, IL 61032, Read Less

I started going to Paws and Claws because I needed a place that could treat my hedgehog and my fur babies. I travel 45 min to go here. Unfortunately two weeks ago my hedgehog became terminally ill and had to be put to sleep. The Vet and staff were very compassionate and got me in as soon as possible so my lil guy didn’t have to suffer long. Last week I got a sympathy card with a handwritten notes from each staff member and it meant so much to me! They have also been great with helping me resolve digestive issues with my rescue dog, who nearly died of starvation before rescue and is a hot mess. I wish that they were more holistic in approach, but at least they are well researched on the latest medicines and testing. Read Less

This place is a joke compared to Atlantic Animal Hospital. Atlantic took care of my dog like their own, while Paws and Claws treated him like a paycheck. My only regret was not switching sooner. Their level of medical care is uncomprable. Read Less

I cannot express how amazing the staff are that work at Paws and Claws. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and care about your pet as much as you do. We have been going to them for a few years now and can’t imagine going anywhere else. Thanks for being so wonderful! Read Less

Very kind and professional vets. Specialized care for exotic pets. They can also board/kennel all types of animals for short periods if you have to go out of town. They sincerely care about animals and their mission in supporting your furry, scaly, or feathered loved ones. Read Less

Go to "a country vet". Paws & Claws' Service is terrible, they messed up scheduling to have my my pups procedure, then couldn't make another appointment for a month where her issue will still be lingering. I called a country vet, they set the procedure up for next week and it's $400 cheaper. Read Less

Great customer service. Our poor miniature schnauzer was recently bit by another dog. Paws & Claws worked him into their schedule and then checked in with us over the phone to make sure he was ok. Their prices are much more affordable than some of the other vets in town. Highly recommend. Read Less

They were nice enough but very sterile. The front desk almost responds as if they are robotic. No one showed genuine interest in my cat at all and there was no place to protect a scared animal. All the loud and large animals were in the same waiting area as the small/scared animals. Maybe they are just more "dog" focused. Read Less

I am always reticent about trying a new vet for my lilac-crowned Amazon parrot. I had been to three other vets before trying Dr. Anderson. Not only is Dr. Anderson a gentle, kind animal handler/(whisperer), he is a brilliant diagnostician. Dr. Anderson decided against running up a large bill for me doing, what he considered, unnecessary blood work. Rather, he acutely examined my parrot, as no other vet had done before, and drew some conclusions based on his observations.I was provided with antibiotic drops for Bert's eyes and nose, oral antibiotic medication with a syringe, and a recommendation to use a Nebulizer with my parrot. I can already see, after just a few days, a major change in the way my parrot looks. Dr. Anderson's diagnosis of sinusitis must have been correct because Bert's nostrils look more clear, her eyes are opening wider, and she seems happier.The best part about the visit was that it didn't cost an arm and a leg, as most vets will charge. It was very affordable, and I didn't didn't hesitate to book a return visit appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Anderson. Read Less

I love Dr Sam Smith he loves your beloved pets and their owners!!! No judgement evaluations, caring loving staff, best bet in town knowledgeable great place for animal children and us people Dr Anderson great teams of love and care...Thank-you always Cece Read Less

I would like everyone to know how great these people are! They not only know their stuff but what sets them apart is that they really care about you and your pet! Any day, you can walk in there and it feels like a family....the waiting room is filled with people talking amongst each other about their crazy pets, the weather etc. while the crew at front desk are keeping us all straight...it's just an awesome place! Of course, I cannot leave out the care of the animals...it is exceptional! My "old man" as Dr. Anderson called Bubba...had many issues that Dr. Anderson and the staff had to tackle over his life and they did such an impeccable job that my guinea pig lived to be 8!! I feel so fortunate that I am able to have them to take care of all my pets! Read Less

I had a scare and rushed my dog Riley to Paws & Claws. I could not have asked for better care! Dr. MaGrann did a thorough exam and sent us on our way to NC Vet Hospital. She also called to let them know we were on our way and assured me that we would be taken care of immediately. Dr. MaGrann answered all my questions, was very compassionate and went above and beyond my expectations. I will definitely be returning and trust her with my both of my dog's health. Read Less

They was great told me honestly what to do instead of spending 1,000 on my momma chin for her to die. we came home with mama/unborn baby an 2 day old baby. An had the burial for mama. Baby is holding stong thank you paws claws for accepting us ASAP vs riverside in Southport. Yall new this was an emergencyRead Less

Dr. Anderson and staff actually care with all their hearts about you and your animal and dont just act like your another customer. They raised all the money for the police dogs kevlar vests. If you are not going there...youre not getting the best care for your loved one. Read Less

We have been going to Paws and Claws for the last few years when we moved here from Colorado. I cannot say enough kind words about the Doctors and staff that work here. Our sweet, Boston Terrier Eleanor had a severe allergic reaction this morning. Not only did they let us in early, they instantly comforted Eleanor and calmed my nerves. Thank you so much! Paws and Claws is full of kind, knowledgeable, and caring staff members. Thank you for everything you do. I recommend you to everyone I meet! Read Less

The entire staff at Paws & Claws is amazing! They are all always so friendly, comforting, and helpful. They go above and beyond for you and your pet(s). The front office staff can fit you into an appointment quickly; the techs are so gentle and loving; and the veterinarians are truly top tier. We always see Dr. Reinhart and she is just THE best! She always conducts a thorough exam and offers all treatments options before a decision is made. She calls to check in on your pet after a particularly worrisome visit and truly shows great care and compassion for animals. Read Less

Dr. Sam and his staff are awesome! I have been taking my dog there since we moved to Wilmington a few years ago after recommendations from colleagues. Dr. Sam did surgery on my dogs Patella few weeks ago and as always he took the time to explain what the options were and addressed my questions and concerns. Thanks to his expertise and his outstanding staff she is on the fast track to recovery! Read Less

Let me first off say i was recommended to come here by a wild life rescue, and the staff i talled too was nice. Unfortunately to say I did not have the best experience here, I came in with my sugar glider who had an erection for 2 days, after monitoring it and treating it with coconut oil, I decided on doing online research and going through all the resources I had with no positive results. I gave paws and claws a call because I could tell my normally sweet loving happy sugar glider was in extreme pain and discomfort he would even pull on it which made me worry he might do injury. I spoke with the receptionist and asked if they ever seen this before he told me no, and that they will have to place it back in so it can heal back. I double checked that the vet I was seeing was familiar with sugar gliders and he advised that the doctor was. I made the appointment and came in 2 hours later. After they took Henny out of the room I was sitting in shortly the vet came in with him. She told me she was not familiar with sugar gliders and that she had to call her other vet to get advise (who mind you was not there and did not see the problem at hand), and he told her it was normal. She also printed me out a bunch of papers on how to take care of sugar glider as if I don't know how to take care of the 3 that I have (the paper included what type of cage they need, what they eat, change their water daily, ect *obviously things you would know*) which honestly offended me because I am very educated in sugar gliders. Like I don't know how to take care of my animals or something. I know that a red rocket is normal but one after 2 days that is obviously causing pain is not normal. So anyways she gave me this paper and told me "sugar gliders are hard to take care of here, read this paper it's how to take care of them" and then said it's normal for it to be hanging but if he starts to self mutilate then be worried. I told her once again that he was already pulling and biting on it so why would I keep an eye on it if he is already doing it, she shrugged her shoulders and said I don't know, so I asked so basically if he does the same thing he is doing come back in and she said" yes just keep an eye on it here is some lube for him if you want it" I asked if it was for gliders and she told me no its like KY. And then she left. I then went to the front desk and paid $50 for a 3 minute conversation and for her to tell me what he is doing is gonna hurt himself so just keep an eye on it for it to get worse then we will do something. Highly dissatisfied and disappointed with that vet.Read Less

As a volunteer at Coastal Carolina Wildlife Rehab, I can tell you this practice is incredible. They work closely with us,often, and are always ready and willing to help us. Actually, years before I began volunteering at CCWR, I was able to take some orphaned baby doves to them. They were quite busy at the time, but were still happy to take in the doves and field them out to a bird rescue. This is the practice you want to work with, support, and take your animals to. A - plus all around! Read Less

The staff at Paws & Claws is beyond a 5 star rating. They took care of our Scarlett as if she were their own. After trying many heroic things it was time to let her go. The kindness shared as we watched our girl take her last breath was immeasurable. As it was an extremely difficult time they made it so serene and peaceful. I will forever be indebted to this wonderful practice. Read Less

Thank you Paws and Claws for making what was a very difficult situation as easy as possible yesterday when you helped my sweet girl Blue make her transition to Doggy Heaven as loving and peaceful as possible I could not have been more comfortable with her departure than you made me feel.....from the sweet lady on the phone when I called about bringing her in to the nurse (Alicia) and Dr. Anderson...thank you thankyou thank you from my heart Read Less

Our fur baby Sugar was in great hands today. She does get nervous around other animals so it was very sweet the lady came out & walked her in. Sugar absolutely loved her vet, she gave him tons of kisses & got her belly rubbed. So glad we found Paws & Claws. Sugar is happy & healthy!!! Read Less

We've taken our cat and our rabbit here on numerous occasions and the staff could not be friendlier or more personable, from the veterinary doctors over to the reception desk and everywhere in between. It's also affordable compared to other vets I've used over the years, and they're unfailingly reasonable, never charging us unnecessarily and giving us plenty of options, communicating well and clearly. Never had a bad experience here, and during animal-related stresses it's a wonderful thing to see such friendly faces. Read Less

Have taken my Guinea Pig to these guys twice for different problems. They have been absolutely incredible, very knowledgeable, nice office, polite staff. In speaking with the doctors you can tell they know what they're talking about. On top of all that they're great at squeezing people in for appointments. I was concerned with medicating my Pig myself because he gets so squirmy and they showed me how to do it, even marked on the syringe exactly how much to give him. The medicines they prescribed fixed up my Pig right away, I won't go anywhere else. Dr Anderson - you are the man! Read Less

Dr. Anderson was fabulous with my little baby western hognose snake. They're known to be a generally wiggly species and she literally fell asleep in his hands, even after he looked inside her mouth. He was very gentle, thorough, and knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything to me.The hospital also gave me a follow-up call to check on her progress, and allowed me to leave a message for the vet to call me back when I had a concern but didn't want to bring her in. I also just got a new puppy and brought him in for his first check-up. I had the same positive experience with my dog as I did with my snake. The front desk staff and vet techs are always kind and gentle and I've never had a vaguely negative experience. I certainly recommend Dr. Anderson and the team at Paws and Claws! Read Less

The Dr's at Paws and Claws are amazing doctors! They are very knowledgeable and personable and really take an interest in you and your pet's situation. They took every avenue possible to ensure our Labrador's coat came back after he acquired an allergy that left him with patches of fur missing. He's now got all of his fur back and his stomach issues are now under control. I have to say I am a little biased because my wife Jody is a receptionist there. But regardless of that, I would take my animals and my business there because of the love both Drs share for the animals. I've also seen the behind the scenes type of business that goes on with the staff and the level of professionalism that is given by all employees is second to none!Read Less

Dr. Anderson is amazing! While speaking to us, he physically examined Riley, my Solomon Island Eclectus, without Riley even realizing that he was actually being handled. Dr. Anderson wasn't rushed, spent time explaining what we needed to know, and didn't put Riley through any unnecessary tests. I was also very impressed with his avian knowledge. I'm extremely fussy with my birds, and I feel 100 percent comfortable with Dr. Anderson caring for them.Read Less

Paws and Claws is a wonderful vet. My chihuahua was having some problems so I called to see if I could get her in. They were able to get her in right away. All the staff was very friendly and approachable. Dr.Smith took his time examining my dog, not seeming rushed like some vets, and was patient and happy to answer all my questions. Wonderful staff, as well as a clean and inviting environment. I gladly give it a 5 out of 5! Read Less

I took my precious dog to this office this morning. It was THE most positive experience I have ever had at a vet's office. From the moment I called on the telephone until the time I left, I found the front office staff, the technician, and the doctor extremely professional, kind, caring, and very thorough with my little one. I can honestly say that it was the first time I had visited a vet's office when there was absolutely NO pushing for expensive procedures...but instead a thoughtful and very thorough analysis of the situation and a wise approach to care. I immediately felt at home, and my dog was thoroughly relaxed and gave out kisses to everyone. My humble gratitude to the Google reviewers who took the time to write about their experiences there, for you lead me to this wonderful place. I can't imagine going anywhere else. Dr Anderson is absolutely awesome. Read Less
