Veterinarians in Glen Carbon, IL

“Found a kitten dumped in Edwardsville. Dr. Olsen was amazing. He was neutered last week. He healed so fast and everyone did an outstanding job. Beedle is now enjoying some well deserved TV time. Very, very affordable. They get you what you need and don't try to nickel and dime you. If you want fast, affordable, down to earth vet care, this is where you need to be. I mean, look at this pic. Come on.”

“Euthanasia
I wanted to detail this since I couldn't find much about it and had never done it before. Their process is :
1. Sign paper work about if you want cremation or to take the pet home. They will ask if you want one last exam beforehand. They will give you a price beforehand. My dog was small so it was $240. I think it goes higher for large dogs.
2. The pet will be taken back for a catheter to be put in. They will have you pay at this point so you don't have to worry about it after.
3. Pet is brought back into the room. One shot is propyphol to put them asleep quickly. The next will put them down.
4. They will give you all the time you need with your pet. Next you can leave and I chose to take mine home over cremation. In this case you can pull your car to the front and they will bring the pet out to you. They will be delivered in a box. Inside they will be in a cute zippered sack.

They were professional and kind throughout. I think this method is better, as I've had some friends who didn't like other places who have you pay afterwards. They do not bother you with questions about why you want to or try to up charge other services.”

“I used this emergency room 6 or 7 times over the last few years. I have always been grateful and impressed that I can have my pups looked at on an emergent basis 24/7. I read some of the other comments about this place "being expensive". I wonder what they are comparing? We have never been there at a regular hour. So yes, there are staffing costs. I understand the emergency room initial cost. Again, overhead. This week, one of our littles had an eyeball issue. The overnight surgical staff took care of her and a few hours later I received a call from the surgeon at 4 am giving me an update that everything was fine. Expensive? I thought the surgical fees were reasonable. I think people don't realize the cost of routine pet care in general. Everything is expensive. But relative to the care provided at this hospital, no it isn't expensive.”

“I have a 130 pound. Neapolitan, mastiff. He had a back injury and they were absolutely fabulous. He can be very tricky to handle and sometimes veterinarians like to think that they know him better than I do, but that was not the case here. I had a really great experience. I have seven dogs, so this is where we will be going when there is an emergency.”
