VCA County West Animal Hospital

Compassionate. Caring. Kind. Responsive. Everything we’ve wanted in a veterinary office for decades. Thank you for being here and caring for our family.

Thank you to County West Animal Hospital for the compassion you showed yesterday (12/4) as I said goodbye to my George. I walked in feeling like my world was collapsing, and you met me with gentleness when I could barely hold myself together. The way you talked to him, the care in your voices, the soft way you handled his tired body—it cut through the heartbreak just enough for me to get through those final moments. Letting him go destroyed me, but you helped make his last breath peaceful, and I’ll carry that with me forever. Thank you for giving my boy dignity when I was losing him.

I absolutely LOVE VCA COUNTY WEST in Kankakee, Il! We have 2 dogs that we’ve been bringing them to since they were puppies ! One of our fur babies isn’t quite “ normal” we got him when he was only 2 weeks old . He was raised by humans and it shows . He has HUGE HUGE anxiety and fear that everyone is out to hurt him or us , his mom and dad ..He’s very scared when it comes to “strangers” and when he’s scared he sometimes can even act “ aggesive” . Anyway , our baby ( he’s 95 lbs ) had a seizure.. still unknown why.. all his blood work came back normal.. but I just want to give a HUGE thank you to his tech , Melinda Montgomery, otherwise known as Mindy .. she made this difficult visit so much easier by being very knowledgeable about Migo’s anxiety issues . She was very comforting to Migo and

The staff at VCA is phenomenal. They were always willing to take the time to explain all options available for treatment, and I never felt like they were pushy. They took wonderful care of my Louie every time we had a visit. Unfortunately, Lou passed last year, but VCA is still at the top of my list. I will be bringing the newest feline addition to our family to see them soon!

My first experience with this vet was on an early Monday morning. My dog darted out the door when my kids left for school and was hit by a car. She was in bad shape. I went to the first vet for help and was turned away. Sitting in my car crying with this poor dog looking for another nearby vet. I called vca and they told me to come right over. I walked in to a very very compassionate staff and right into a room. I had to put her down that day. They had made a pawprint for me and a token of her fur in a keepsake jar which we keep by her favorite toy to this day. Fast forward to about 3 years ago, we decided to adopt a dog a few years later. The staff and vet have been extremely transparent about the treatment plans and costs. It may cost a little bit extra, but they listen and care. If you
