Boulevard Veterinary

I am so happy to have found Boulevard. I was afraid that the 5-​star Unilocal reviews would be too good to be true, but I’m here to tell you that they’re not! I am always able to make an appointment quickly and easily with these guys, whether it be via email or phone. The Client Care Specialists are friendly and professional. The office is BEAUTIFUL and very clean. It never smells like animals, which is a pretty major accomplishment considering how many nervous cats and dogs they must see per day! Dr. Dylan is great. He is thorough in his exams, clear in his explanations of treatment, and really listens to any concerns. Also, if they need to send blood or x-​ray work out, they follow up really quickly. I’ve never had a vet call me and discuss blood test results with such detail. Boulevard does not do payment plans, but they’re very transparent with their prices and will always share a quote with you before they do anything. I absolutely recommend these guys without a doubt.

I can’t say enough good things about this place!
Not only is Boulevard a wonderful space to bring my dogs when they need to be seen by a doctor (which for me, is usually weekly), it’s also the coolest vets office I have ever stepped foot in! I could literally hang out there all the time! It is aesthetically pleasing, super cozy, and they play great music!
Everyone who works at Boulevard including Dr. Dylan is amazing! I absolutely adore Julie and Diti (the front of house coordinators and the pleasant voices you speak to when you call to book an appointment). I genuinely love seeing them. I also really like Alyssa (one of the techs). She always remembers me, remembers my dogs, etc.
I really appreciate Dr. Dylan’s approach. He never tries to scare you with all the things that COULD be wrong with your pet. He starts with the simplest and most cost effective approach and if that doesn’t work, then he will dive into other, possibly more expensive approaches. He is very calm, informative, and a good listener. I trust him with all 3 of my dogs!
I have never experienced, in all the years of being a dog mom, a place where I felt like the people at the vets office actually liked talking to me and I am not just a number. They really are such an amazing staff of people. All very warm, caring, funny, and easy to talk to…
I give this place more than 5 stars. They are exactly what Logan Square needed! They aren’t just a business to me, they feel like friends!

Absolutely horrible vet and completely unknowledgeable! They also tried upselling unnecessary procedures and shots for my dog that she didn’t need or benefit from. We took our pet dog there for her annual exam and the vet hardly looked her over which caused an apparent skin problem (her fur was clearly missing in large spots) to progress and become much worse. The vet completely missed/​ignored a very apparent skin problem that anyone could notice something was wrong. Upon taking my pet back there for a follow-​up treatment that was included in the payment for her annual exam previously, they refused to treat her and suggested we make a whole other appointment for her skin problem. Not only did the vet suggest we do all these extra tests (feces test, skin flake test, check for parasites all each a separate lab fee) but kept saying it was probably allergies, even though she looked at her skin/​fur. The vet didn’t listen just talked over me, insisting it was an allergy even though nothing new has changed in her diet or environment. Obviously took our dog to another vet (Wicker Park Veterinary Clinic) and with an actual check-​up figured out the problem without further testing or guessing and my pet’s doing much better with just a simple visit and proper examination.

I have deleted my initial visit 5 stars after multiple visits for both my dog and a friendly feral cat and feel strongly that 1) I was quilted into a flu shot for my dog after I may the decision after careful and study (and it was twice as much as listed on their e-​mail) 2) I paid for an expensive ‘ring worm’ test that I didn’t believe was necessary and that took TWO months to get the results having not returned phone calls @ it. and no, the cat didn’t have it. TWO months! The dog and I both would have had it in time. Two procedures were done on the cat on the EXACT same spot with no explanation. I have had to request numerous time the animals records of the app’t and they are slim with information. They also call back weeks after the visit to check on the animals health… weeks? Not days?
I don’t have trust in this vet service at this time. because of meds and tests that go no where. Vet medicine for your animals are expensive and have to have a solution.
My dog is 15 and I just don’t trust this clinic with the ending of her time.
Just make sure that the expensive is justified for your pet.

I’m so pleased to have found this place. We had horrible luck with a Vet in the past and now I am always a bit uneasy in a new office.
My dog Burger had a lump on his foot we were conserved about. I called based on Unilocal reviews, and was able to get a same day appointment.
Everyone we encountered was pleasant and professional. They gave us printed quotes for pricing before they did anything, and were upfront and honest about what Burger needed.
They called us immediately when they got the results of the lump to let us know he was ok. I can’t recommend this place enough, and we’ve found our new vet in the city!

Love Love Love Boulevard Veterinary! My dog has long suffered from anxiety and allergies. Dr. Dylan was the only vet I’ve ever seen that went away from the standard treatment of anxiety that every other vet we’d seen had given us. Dr. Dylan listened to my concerns and my dog’s issues and recommended a treatment that has helped her leaps and bounds. I’ve never felt so heard and understood by a vet, than I have at Boulevard. My dog is much happier and healthier these days (same with me!).

Consistently excellent service from when you walk in to follow up. We’ve taken our Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy there consistently and have never had a bad experience. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Best ever! Efficient. Clean and spacious facility (doesn’t smell like dirty dog). Attentive service. No waiting. Great follow up. Competitive fees. Dr. D. Listens. Great bedside manner. Nicest staff. One block from home. Yay! I love this place. My dog is 15 years old and we have seen many practices. Even if we move I will continue to return here.
This is a great business model for all. Other businesses take note. BV will be around a long time. Welcome to the neighborhood!

They were seriously as good as it gets. Thelma needed her teeth and ears checked, and both the wonderful vet tech, Audrey, and Dr. Frederickson were the BEST. The attention to detail in the clinic is impeccable, and we even left with a treat bag for my old dumb dumb of a cat. I was also given a step by step breakdown of cost and treatment for Thelma’s tooth extraction, which put me at ease with the cost and her upcoming visit.
I almost never write Unilocal reviews, but I left so satisfied that I had to. This was one of the best services I’ve ever received in Chicago in ANY aspect. I highly, highly recommend it. Thanks guys!

***WOW***
So saying I have a special needs dog is an understatement! I adopted her from Afghanistan while there on deployment. Unfortunately on the way home, she contracted Distemper, a NASTY disease that only 5% of dogs survive. My dog has blindness, a twitch, GI Tract issues, teeth issues, overall major neural issues.
I walked into Boulevard, they already had all my info via a stream lined online submission process. They had seen the picture of my dog and referred to me by name upon entering! They also called and faxed our THREE previous Vets from other duty stations, and by the time I left had compiled her entire medical record via fax!
The next step was meeting with the Vet Tech. Alyssa was an absolute sweetheart, and incredibly knowledgeable. To say I have experience with a wide range of Vet clinics is an understatement, and Alyssa was unbelievably knowledgeable! She had knowledge about distemper that is very uncharacteristic of a young vet tech, especially since it is such a rare disease.
Dr. Dylan was next up and he was outstanding. By the time I had left, he had brought me through an entire comprehensive care plan, to include dental treatments, new treatment options and long term care advice. He is even doing research to follow up to ensure some of his new treatment ideas would work in our situation.
Upon leaving, the receptionist, doctor and vet tech had all conferred, and had everything ready for my departure. They gave me outstanding estimates that were all below what I had spent at previous Vets and made every effort to ensure they could save me money. They wrote a prescription to help me find a low price online, and even ordered a new drug for me they didn’t stock at a great discount. When I got my final bill for the first visit, to include labs, rabies vacc, checkup, and other basic checkups, it was 20% cheaper than my previous Vets.
***I give this place 5 stars only because I can’t give it 6! I would travel a long distance to get here, their performance, affordability and honesty make it worth it! ***

I love Boulevard Vet! After visiting 2 different vets I found Boulevard Vet and I don’t want to go to anyone else.
Vets here are very professional, communicative and very active dealing with your pet’s problem. They also take a great care tracking your pet’s health.

We recently took our two lovely kittens here for their 1 year checkup. Everyone was so pleasant to work with and they took really good care of our babies. The vet and the vet assistant took their time with us and we never felt rushed. Afterwards they gave our little ones a bag of treats with both their names on it. It’s the little things! I’ll definitely be bringing our cats back here for their next check up :)

Boulevard Vet exceeds all expectations!
The staff and doctors are super friendly, gentle with our dog and so accommodating. They were able to see us today at the last minute and took great care of our pup who was in pain. Trento, our dog, loves it there — he actually enjoys going «in back» for his shots! We have seen both Dr. Dylan and Dr. Buso and both were great.
The location is beautiful, much nicer than what I expected for a vet. Super modern, incredibly clean and inviting.
Highly recommend it if you are looking for a vet in the area!

Boulevard Vet has raised the bar for local business in an up and coming area. The attention to every detail – from customer service to the most impressively executed interior design I’ve ever seen at a vet – is second to none. Dr. Dylan is an incredibly intelligent and compassionate person, and truly had my dog’s best interest at heart with every decision he made. His staff made us feel at home from the moment we walked in, and I immediately felt at ease that I could trust my dog was receiving top notch care. I feel lucky to have BLVD vet in my neighborhood.

Super happy they are in my neighborhood. Dr. Buso was extremely gentle with my kitty, who previously has flipped out, moaned, and been super nervous at all other vet experiences. Kitty did amazingly well. Everyone was super kind. A bag of treats when we were done. 100% staying with them as our vet now.

We’ve had such a pleasant experience at Boulevard! Dr. Dylan takes the time to thoroughly explain the hows and whys of treatment, and staff is quick, friendly and flexible. Also great for getting trustworthy recommendations for local groomers and boarders. Beautiful space with a strong sense of community, and obvious care for animals and their owners’ needs. 100% recommend!

From the minute I walked in, to the minute I left, I was 100% satisfied.
My kitty has some some urinary problems the past few days, and figured I needed to get her in to the Vet ASAP. Since I live a block away, I figured I’d give Boulevard a shot.
I walked in without an appointment, and the staff was eager to accommodate me (especially since It was right at opening).
Dylan hopped right in the room after a VERY nice nurse checked all of her basics, and really took his time, answered my questions, shared his knowledge, etc.
In the best way possible, I hope we won’t be back for another year, but if we have to, I know where to go.
Still awaiting the urinalysis results… wish us luck :(

I just visited Boulevard Veterinary for the first time, and I definitely feel obligated to write a review (no, they didn’t ask me to).
If they’re able to maintain this level of service after they grow (and they will grow), I will be super impressed.
I came to Boulevard Veterinary because I noticed they opened up shortly after receiving a completely absurd quote from my other vet for a dental cleaning for my cat. I decided to give them a call and see what they charged, and let’s just say this: I was correct in feeling like the price was way too high from that other vet.
Now I’m not a guy who shops for vets on price — proper care and a skilled veterinarian are the most important things. However, gouging is gouging, and that’s why I’m leaving my other vet.
So — about that experience at Boulevard:
— although it’s new, it’s impeccably clean and a beautiful space. Is décor important to pet care? No. However, it does say something about the attention they put in to little details.
— the staff is polite, attentive and willing to tolerate lots of questions from overzealous pet parents like me
— I wasn’t rushed at all. I asked TONS of questions and never once felt like the vet tech or the veterinarian himself were frustrated over that — a feeling I’ve gotten elsewhere.
— Dr Frederickson was attentive and helpful in answering all of my questions. I also liked his pragmatic approach on vaccinating my cat (e.g. acknowledging which ones are most important and why, given he’s a 100% indoor cat), etc.
Above all, I felt like even as a brand new customer, they just seem to care about relationships there. It feels far less «clinical» than a lot of vets, and a lot more conversational.
I really hope that as they grow they’re able to maintain this level of attentiveness to their patients. I understand that’s hard to keep going once you have lots more customers, but I think they’re capable of doing it.
I can’t recommend this vet enough. They’re fair, honest, reasonable and they really made me feel like this is the place I want to take my pets for the rest of their lives.

We just took our puppy to Boulevard Veterinary, and we could not have been happier with our experience. The staff was both knowledgeable and friendly. They made our little guy feel right at home, while giving him the medical care he needed. He loved the technicians and the veterinarian, and he even seemed sad about leaving the vet (something he did not do at other veterinary clinics). We already signed our little guy up for his next appointment. We are so happy there is a place in the neighborhood with an excellent veterinarian our little guy loves.

Boulevard Veterinary is really the best!
The venue: This place is modern, super clean, and super cute. From the soft and colorful blankets in the exam rooms to the names of the rooms themselves (Kedzie, Humboldt, Palmer, and Logan), their attention to detail is unmatched.
The employees: From the moment we walked in the door, we felt like our pup was a movie star. Fast, genuinely friendly, and impressively competent service across the board — from the reception desk to the nurse assistant to Dr. Dylan himself. We weren’t treated like a one-​time customer; Boulevard Veterinary approached the visit as the first in a long relationship aimed at keeping our pup healthy and happy.
The services: When we wake up tomorrow morning our puppy is going to cry because he’s going to want us to take him to the vet again. Even though our little guy was there to get his puppy shots, the staff made sure to spend time playing with the doggy so that he was calm and friendly, and then they distracted him with a bag of doggy treats! He didn’t even notice that he was getting shots because he was having so much fun. And they sent us home with a gift bag complete with treats (with the doggy’s name on them!), a chew toy, and a toothbrush. Suffice it to say that our little guy was truly sad to leave his new friends.
Here’s to hoping that the neighborhood embraces this new shop so that our pup can continue to see his new friends.
