“They’re all so kind, they love the animals they care for and you can tell. It’s a small clinic, which makes the care feel more personal. They’re always so happy to see my cat Boris. And they’ve been so helpful in managing my dog Ralph’s allergies.”
“They listened to me! My dog needed a rather large skin tag removed, and I'm nervous about general anesthesia, so we talked and they did it with a local anesthetic. My dog didn't feel a thing because I was giving him treats dipped in peanut butter.”
“I have had such a great experience since switching to Prairie Animal Hospital in Beloit. Dr. Sokhey has a great sense of humor and always makes my dog, Ember, feel comfortable even when she is nervous to be at the vet. He takes the time to explain everything in a way that is easy to understand, and answers any questions I have. His staff also genuinely cares about the animals they see. I'm grateful to have found such a good vet clinic.”
“I used this vet for the first time and was highly impressed with Dr. Oldenburg and all of the staff. Granted the outcome wasn’t good. Dr. Recommended let’s try for 2 weeks to see if things changed. I’ve never felt such compassion with the staff on my decision. Thank you for your help and guidance on making the right decision. I would recommend this the vet. Clinic to anyone.”
“I love it here. I think its privately owned and I personally love that. I left other vet clinics because I felt like they pressured me or made me feel guilty for wanting to be involved in my pets care and advocate when I didnt agree with something. Dr. Knilans is so caring and listens! I drive all the way from Rockford but its worth it!”

“Visited for the first time recently. Staff was very nice (Mackenzie was an absolute star!) and accommodating. They have you call when you arrive and wait in your car, so you're not sitting in a waiting room with a bunch of stressed pets. The wait wasn't very long and the visit was pretty efficient. They were very willing to provide estimates for services, which was such a relief. It really helped with being able to plan for further care. Also, the building was handicap accessible which is always appreciated.”
“I would give Dr. Sill and her team 100 stars if I could! Especially Lauren ♥️ We have been going there for about 20 years. Recently we found out our 10 year old lab had osteosarcoma that started with a growth in his toe which led to sometimes two visits a day to change the dressing from the growth that was bleeding non stop. They were so accommodating! We had to ultimately take him to UW Vet clinic and found out he would have had to had his entire leg amputated with some other complications and unfortunately it was in his best interest to lay him to rest. I had my sister-in-law call there at 3 o’clock in the afternoon and they said got here when you can we will wait. They gave us time to bring him home and make our baby a steak and give him lots of other treats and love before we had to make the decision to not put him through all of that pain and torture. I cannot say enough about how sweet Dr. Sill l and her staff were to me and my children and my husband, who unfortunately had to be there via FaceTime. Their love is so genuine and heartfelt and made it just a little bit easier to put our boy to rest. Thank you Dr. Sill and your amazing team ♥️”
“Dr. Chaudhry is not like most other veterinarians. He truly cares about animals and not doing unnecessary tests & treatments. And very reasonable prices. Maybe we wouldn't have such a epidemic of overfilled shelters and stray & feral cats if more Vets were more like him. People can't afford the care of their pets when they're overcharged and made to believe their beloved pets need so many extra things they push at so many Vets offices. Expensive supplements & dog food to sometimes needless tests & procedures. Especially when people are already emotional over their pets health and make emotional decisions that people can't afford then feel they cannot continue caring for their pets. It shouldn't be just a business. We don't need fancy offices, crafts & candles being sold in the offices either. Basic care and Vets that teach how to care for your pets issues at home that can prevent many illnesses. DR. Chaudhry checks all those boxes in teaching and care. And it's worth mentioning that pet parents also need to be kind and patient with staff...they are working very hard and it's a very emotional & demanding job. I hope more Vets can be more care focused and less business & revenue focused.”
