Veterinarians near Troy, IL

“Our 22 yr old cat was on his last life & seeing him suffer was too painful. Called & they got him in within 2 hours & was so kind & compassionate making crossing the rainbow bridge a little bit gentler on us all. Thanks”

“They are always so nice and supportive to everyone and show so much love to all pets the mean ones Nices ones and even the overly sweet cuddly ones I trust them with all my dogs”

“Needed a new vet and decided to give Northgate a try. So glad I did. Very impressed. Did not have to wait weeks for an appointment. My dog is anxious around other dogs. Arrived for appointment and they immediately took us back to a room, had receptionist check us out in the room, and checked the lobby when time for us to leave. The vet techs were amazing!! Wish I could remember their names-sorry ladies. The vet was amazing too. Great service and clearly care about animals. Dixie wasn’t happy about the shots, but they were so sweet and took their time with her. Cannot thank you guys enough! Highly recommend.”

“Jax received a physical and some meds for gos itching constantly. The staff are always friendly and good with the dogs. Dr Smith always explains what she thinks is your dogs problem is in a way you can understand it”

“Excellent care for our dogs, covering every aspect of pet health. From Greer & Pavel to Zuzu & Theia, EPH has kept our girls safe and healthy for decades.”

“Staff was very welcoming and friendly! The atmosphere was relaxing for my pup. The vet was extremely thorough and didn’t push buying certain products but focused on my dogs overall health even if that meant not buying medication or food from them. I appreciate their honesty and hospitality!”

“We have an elderly cat that becomes extremely stressed whenever she goes to the vet. We got pills the give to her before going. They really made a Hugh difference. The vet was very knowledgeable and sensitive to her needs. Highly recommend. They experience was remarkable!”

“I finally had the chance to meet Dr. Melissa McDearmon today, and I was truly impressed. I live in Los Angeles, but my family has been bringing their pets to her for years and always spoke highly of her...now I completely understand why.

She was kind, thoughtful, and thorough. I never felt rushed or like we were just moving through an appointment for the sake of business. She answered every question clearly and patiently, and I left feeling informed and reassured in a way that isn’t always common in veterinary visits.

To me, she represents exactly what a veterinarian should be — knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely invested in her patients.

Brittany was also wonderful to work with - warm, helpful, and welcoming. It’s clear this team truly cares about what they do.

I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”

“This is the best veterinary I've ever ever met! He truly loves animals and helped us all so much over the years! Highly recommend him and all of his staff is the sweetest!”

“We have 5 cats that used to go to another vet in the area but after a bad experience at the old one, we knew that when we got our most recent kitten that we had to go somewhere new, so we chose Horseshoe! The first time we visited with Dr. Harlin and Shaye for our kitten, they were both so kind and warming I immediately knew that I needed to take my senior cat here. For our senior cat, we had Dr. Harlin and Hope and I cannot applaud them any harder. They allowed him to be in the room with us so he felt more comfortable (the last vet refused to even try to administer in the room). She was so confident working with him and we got all his vaccines AND LABS done with no sedation needed!! I was so pleased with the patience and dedication this team had. Sydney at the front counter is always sweet and ready to answer any questions for us regarding our care credit as well. I am so so glad that we found them. P.S. if you are anal about what you spend and where you spend it, they are so helpful trying to find other ways to help you save. 10/10!”

“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.”

“Above a 10 star rating. I received care for a small cat who was diabetic for around 4 years. I eventually had to put him down. It was done with the most comfortable care, he passed with dignity and grace. I was allowed to be with him privately after he passed. He was placed in a white and pink blanket and I cried alone with him as the clinic continued to operate. Susan Stanley is the vet who helped us along with her assistant Mary.! I’m eternally grateful to both of them for their kindness and compassion during this time.”

“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.”

“Been taking my animals here for years, and even referred friends and family. We all love the staff, and the Vet is a very friendly guy. He takes his patients very seriously!”

“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.”

“To be honest, Petco has never been on my radar. I always went to the other big pet store. We happened to be next door to Petco and I needed some dog food. So I thought we would save some time and go here. Wow...I'm so glad I did. I was shocked to see that they carried my favorite dog food. I had switched to another brand because I was tried of ordering it. They even had the wet food in the Orijen brand. They also had my dogs favorite chews that I can only find at a store an hour from me. What a find! I left with a cart full and a big smile. This is my new pet store! I couldn't be happier about it. I'm just sorry I hadn't checked out this store earlier! Thanks Petco!”

“They were great I was from out of town and my dog need a prescription dog food from my veterinary and Banfield Vet gave me the prescription dog food after talking with my vet from 2 hours away they didn't even know each other ! THANK YOU BANFIELD”

“The care and compassion from each and every person was unmatched. In January of 2025 we had to make the decision to put our sweet drako to rest and they made the process as easy as possible and got our ashes and paw prints back quickly. This past weekend we had to bring in our puppy after she got bit by another dog resulting in her ear missing a large chunk! From the moment I got there they were on it getting her back there quickly and stoping the bleeding despite being incredibly busy on a Saturday! They let my baby rest there until her surgery and morning time with no extra charge! I called and checked up on her and they never once seemed bothered by that which means a lot! I pray I never have to take one of my animals there again but I will never go else where and trust them completely with my fur babies!”

“Dr Meyer saved my moms 2.5 year old golden retriever, Charlotte. Another vet in jville didn't give much hope (they did what they could at their little facility and she had been there a couple times) and we thought we were going to lose Charlotte. We brought her in on Sunday on a holiday weekend and thought we were putting her down, but everyone there said they wanted to try to save her and they did. She had a mass of stuff in her stomach that she swallowed and could not pass, so surgery was needed. My mom got Charlotte after she lost her husband 2 years ago and we were devastated, but Hawthorne gave us hope and they came through. Thank you Dr Meyer and everyone else at Hawthorne. This is a true pet hospital.”
