Emergency Veterinary Care Centers

I wish I didn't have to rate this place at all, but thankfully I can give them 5 stars. We took our 15 year old cat here for an emergency visit and turns out we had to send him to heaven. If you've lost a pet, you know how hard it is. The staff was so kind and patient. We had all the time we could have ever wanted with our boy before and after. They truly treat your pets with respect and allow you the space you need when you start the grieving process. We couldn't afford cremation but they offered a paw print in a keepsake styrofoam box, fur, and whiskers with the price of services. I was able to hold my sweet boy as he passed and love on him afterwards without feeling rushed. I am so thankful for the kindness and empathy this clinic has shown us. I highly recommend them.

We were in Homewood for a wedding when our 6-month old puppy, Poppy started staggering, acting disoriented and kept falling over. Since it was nearly midnight, we called EVCC and a vet technician asked what was going on, then advised we bring her in. Dr. Orange (hopefully we got the name correct!) did an examination of her and suspected she had ingested a toxin. We chose to take her home and monitor her overnight. She hadn’t improved at all by morning so we returned to EVCC where we left her for more tests, IV treatment and monitoring since her core temperature was low. She clearly had eaten something toxic but we didn’t know what. She was cared for by Doctors Fedash and Kish and the wonderful staff there. Since this also was the day of the wedding and we couldn’t visit her, we checked in several times and they very kindly and patiently gave us updates. We got a very welcomed phone call early Saturday morning letting us know our Poppy, while very scared and nervous (it was the first time she was away from us that long) was physically back to normal. We can’t thank everyone at EVCC enough for the caring, competent experience we had. You all are wonderful. She is back to her spunky, puppy self!

We were in town for the weekend when our dog experienced serious GI distress. The staff at EVCC were very kind and considerate. I highly recommend them. I appreciated the thorough investigation process and diagnosis that led to our pup’s recovery.

We brought our beloved 22-year-old pit bull, Bella, to Calumet Emergency Veterinary Clinic because it was her time. Bella had been our companion for so many years, and this was one of the hardest decisions we've ever had to make. We had to put other pets down before, and the staff at those places treated us with nothing but compassion and care. Unfortunately, this was not the case here. The large red-headed vet who assisted us was the most uncompassionate person I’ve ever encountered. During such a heart-wrenching moment, her cold demeanor made an already unbearable experience worse. There was no empathy, no kindness, just an unfeeling attitude that made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. If you can’t treat pets and their grieving owners with the respect and care they deserve, you have no business in this profession. We're deeply disappointed and heartbroken that Bella’s final moments were made even more difficult by this heartless treatment. R.I.P our beautiful baby Bella may you be whole & free ❤️

The staff was so compassionate and knowledgeable. We were desperate on a Friday afternoon for help and everyone there from front desk staff to vet techs to the physician gave us 💯 attention. Individualized care and thoughtfulness in diagnosing the problem was priority and the Doctor's knowledge saved our beloved pet from unnecessary surgery…when initially, all symptoms seemed to point to that direction. We thank Dr Wallis for the morning update and getting Buddy recovered enough to come home. We appreciated the photos from Jenifer and appreciated the thorough post care directions from Bre. Biggest thank you to Dr Fedash who remembered "the great pretender" in all her practicing years, to get to the correct diagnosis for Buddy, you saved his life and you deserve all the accolades possible! Thank you all! 🐾 Update: Buddy was doing great until he stole almost 1.5lbs of hamburgers off the counter. This time:pancreatitis. We were back at EVCC again and all the staff were awesome! Buddy is back home and doing well!
