How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Mill Creek Animal Clinic
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance

I literally can not say enough good things about this office. They have several different vets, and all of them are AMAZING. I did a review on the old vet's office that got a 1 star (we need a zero option Google). It's a little bit of a ride from my house but worth it 100%. We had to put my daushund down a year ago, and their staff was absolutely awesome. They were compassionate and truly cared as my daughters and I were a MESS. They could not have been more sympathetic. When it was time for our new family member, I called to schedule an appointment before i even told my parents. If you own a pet, this should be your vet's office, period.

I wish I had the words to express my gratitude to Dr. Francis and ALL of the staff at Mill Creek for their compassion and understanding at a time when I needed it most. My faithful little friend Bella passed on September 29, 2023 and I am devastated, but the staff was so wonderful to such a fearful little cat AND to me, since I was a mess. Dr. Francis explained everything and took such care with Bella, and although I am lost without the companion I’d had for 16 years, the doctors and staff were the only ones who not only cared about my kitty, but understood what it is like to lose them. Thank you all for the wonderful, healthy years that you helped to give Bella, and the compassionate care you gave her at the end of her life.

I've been taking my dog to Mill Creek Animal Clinic for a few years now and everyone there is very pleasant and professional. My dog loves everyone there from the front desk all the way through to the Vets. They give her lots of attention which she's loves along with the treats they give her. The Doctors take their time to explain things and to listen to your concerns. Great place to take your pets! I highly recommend them!

Mill Creek is the vet clinic we selected to try out after moving to Palos Park. Our experiences with our dogs have been nothing but wonderful. The staff has always been lovely, kind, and definitely show they care about your fur babies. Since establishing care with them, we’ve had to visit more often than other pet owners due to ongoing allergies, etc. Unfortunately, February through beginning of April has been a horrible couple months for us as we lost both our hounds within a short period of time. From the urgent vet trips, to the final vet trips where we had to say goodbye , we were given so much support and love by the staff from phone calls during after hours by the vets, to fitting us in at random and inconvenient times, to condolence cards and words of comfort when we had to say our goodbyes for each dog. I cannot thank Dr. Carlson enough for her big heart through the hardest times of my life. She showed my babies compassion and gave her entire expertise to care for them until there was nothing left. I would trust her with any of my fur babies over again. She went through it all with us and provided a shoulder to cry on when I couldn’t take the pressure myself. Thank you Mill Creek for your love and support, and thank you Dr Carlson for everything.

Dr. Whittle was very empathetic and reassuring when I called to discuss a spay and gastropexy for my reactive German Shepherd. She does not do well at the vet, and even more, this would have been a new vet for us, as our current vet referred us elsewhere to have the gastropexy done. The prices for surgery were reasonable. Dr. Whittle eased our minds by putting our pup on meds to keep her calm and allowing us to stay with her until she was sedated. He kept us updated throughout the process and answered all of our questions thoroughly. He was caring, kind, and sympathetic. It's so hard to find good medical providers these days, but I am so happy to have found Mill Creek. The staff was wonderful and friendly too. We couldn't be happier with how our fur baby was treated. Don't hesitate to see them for your pets.
