Elk Grove Veterinary Clinic

Just called and they claimed they don’t take cats because the vet is “highly allergic.” Why do you have pictures of cats under your google reviews then? You’re a general veterinarian. You should be able to see cats and dogs. I have never heard of a vet just blatantly not choosing to see a certain species because they’re allergic. Also we were here with our goldendoodle when he was a puppy years back and the vet was extremely unprofessional in the way he was handling a young dog; it was obvious he had no patience for him. Having previously worked at an animal hospital for multiple years myself, I understand that doodles aren’t everyone’s cup of tea and they’re usually unruly when younger, however that isn’t an excuse.

I recently visited the veterinary clinic in Elk Grove Village, and unfortunately, my experience was not very positive. The veterinarian I saw seemed to be pushing for expensive lab tests and risky medications without fully understanding the cause of my pet's symptoms. Furthermore, he did not adequately inform me of the potential side effects of the medication he was recommending. On top of that, he was short with me during our interaction. Overall, I cannot recommend this clinic based on my experience with this particular veterinarian.

We love Dr Cheese (Flaherty) and his super friendly helpful staff! Our happy dog loves his visits to the vet to get his string cheese fix. The Doc is so smooth, our dog doesn’t even know he’s getting shots. The Doc has neutered our dog and also removed his mangled dew claws. The procedures went well without any complications, and the price was fair. We found a great vet clinic and we’re sticking with them!

Dr Flaherty is a wonderful Vet and thorough in the care he provides. He is very gentle with my elderly cat, Bella. And since she's strictly a house cat, he only gives her the shots (and tests) that she really needs.

All the staff, from the wonderful front desk ladies to the nurses and doctors, each are filled with compassion, kindness and thoughtful care of your beloved pets. As an emergency visit, yes it can be abit costly but worth every cent that is spent to help your furry companions. They welcome followup calls and questions without a blink of an eye and any further cost. I highly recommend this establishment for your emergency pet needs. Truly grateful Karen Higgins
