Where are you located?
We are located in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago on the north-east corner of Broadway and Granville, just steps away from the Granville Redline “L” Station. Our address is 6211 N. Broadway St, Chicago, IL 60660.
What are your hours?
We are open Monday – Friday 8:00AM – 5:30PM and Saturday 8:00AM – 2:00PM. We are closed Sundays.
What services do you provide?
We are a full-service companion animal hospital. We provide a wide range of medical and surgical care for dogs and cats.
Do you operate by appointment? Can I bring my pet in without an appointment?
We prefer to make appointments to minimize waits. However, we do accept same day and drop off appointments, just give us a call! We make every attempt to work in seriously sick or injured pets as soon as possible, however there may be times when we will be unable to do so, and will recommend other emergency services to reach out to.
How do you handle emergencies outside of office hours?
A doctor can almost always be reached by calling our regular number and you will be given an emergency number to call. If you have an emergency and cannot reach a doctor please call MedVet Chicago at (773) 281-7110. The emergency hospital will email all of our patients’ records to us so that they can be added to our files. We rarely are unreachable within business hours but are glad that we have this backup option should an emergency arise.
Do you offer grooming? What is the procedure?
No, we do not offer grooming at this time. We do offer “Lion” cuts, but require pet sedation for the cut.
Does your hospital treat birds or exotics?
No, we do not treat birds or exotic pets routinely. However, we are happy to refer you to a practice that does. Note, we do sometimes have a visiting doctor who is able to treat birds or exotic pets. Please give us a call to see if they will be in soon to see your pet!
Do you board pets?
No, we do not offer boarding at this time.
Where do you keep my pet if he or she has to stay overnight?
We do not keep pets overnight. If your pet needs to be monitored throughout the night, we will refer you to a 24-hour emergency hospital for observation.
Will someone be with my pet if he or she has to stay overnight?
We do not keep pets overnight. If your pet needs to be monitored throughout the night, we will refer you to a 24-hour emergency hospital for observation.
My pet was treated at your hospital, and now it seems that the itching/ear infection has come back. Can I get more medicine?
Generally, we should see the pet again if no refills are indicated on the prescription label.
I took my pet to another veterinarian when she was sick. Now, I just need more medicine and your office is closer. Can I pick up more medicine from you?
It is illegal for us to dispense medication to pets that we have not seen. We may only prescribe for pets we have seen in the last 12 months. Depending on the medical concern, we may need to see the pet even if the pet has been seen within the last 12 months.
Do you bill?
We do not bill. We do accept credit cards, Apple and Google Pay, and cash. We have a credit company program in place that is our only option available for billing. CareCredit utilizes an application that is very similar to a credit card application. Additionally, we accept direct payments from Trupanion insurance at the time of the appointment, if approved by Trupanion. Note: We are not an insurance company and have no way in what and how Trupanion approves and pays out claims.
Do you offer monthly billing wellness plans?
We do not currently offer wellness plans.
Do you take personal checks?
No, we do not accept any checks.
Do you take credit cards?
We take Mastercard, Visa, Discover, American Express and CareCredit.
Do you give senior citizen discounts?
We do not currently have a senior citizens discount in place.
Do you take spay/neuter certificates?
We are not currently participating in any spay/neuter programs.
What is your policy on deposits when an animal is hospitalized?
We require an $150 deposit for all surgeries. With seriously ill or injured animals, we may require an additional deposit at the time of hospitalization, which is usually half of the estimated charges. The balance of the bill is required at the time of discharge of the animal.
