Glen Oak Dog and Cat Hospital

Do not go to this animal hospital. The vet I went to was insensitive and seemed only interested in recommending expensive treatments that made her more money as opposed to the well being of my dog. I have two cats as well and I will never go back there. Stay away! There are plenty of ethical vets in the area.

Contacted glen oak because my cat had a pretty bad swollen arm. Spoke with Monika at the front and she was very helpful. Came there out of the blue with no appt, and they saw me right away. Dr. Anna Kopec was extremely polite and helpful. She took care of my cat with care and knew right away what happened. Besides the great care and helpfulness, they did not charge me an arm and a leg. Would highly recommend this vet clinic if you want the best care for your pet. Will definitely be going back!

I’ve been bringing my dog to Glen Oak for about 7 years and I am extremely pleased with the services that I’ve received. Dr. Ashley is our primary vet, and my dog is beyond excited to see her everytime we go in for shots (pretty unusual for a dog to be happy to receive shots, right?)
When my dog tore her ACL last fall, Dr. Ashley was very helpful in rehabing the injury and tried to avoid a very expensive surgery. Unfortunately, my dog did end up having surgery eventually, but due to Dr. Ashley’s extensive rehab process, my dog came out of surgery much stronger than she would have been otherwise.
Needless to say, I highly recommend this facility for your pet as the drs. here actually do care about your animals!

I went in to get a quote on getting my cat de-​clawed. The tech behind the counter was obviously inexperienced, so he checked with one of the vets. I was told $ 125 plus the cost of shots, which they said would be around $ 50 since they were waiving the office fee because I was a new client. When I showed up with my cat for the appointment, I was told that they had misquoted me and it would now be $ 400. You couldn’t call me to tell me that before I wasted my whole morning? The doctor said it was her mistake, she should have asked the age of the cat, and that the price didn’t include anesthetic, and various other charges, but she didn’t offer any discount. They seem like nice folks, but their business sense is horrible! Go elsewhere…

I received a call from Avid (the microchip company) saying that Amanda from Glen Oak Vet Hospital scanned my dog «Bella» chip today 7.22.14 this morning at 9 am and that my dog was found! Great new right?! Wrong! When I
contacted her less than 10 minutes after receiving the call she stated that she doesn’t have my dog and the «teens» left with it. She states that she gave them all my information and hoped it was up to date. Wait what?! So instead of contacting me directly you gave whomever all my info, did not contact me, AND let them leave with my dog! On top of it when I asked her if she had any information to provided me she said «No!» They did not gain ANY information from the person who was in possession of my dog. No name, phone number, address, ANYTHING! How do you walk into a vet hospital and NOT gain any information about the person in front of you? SHE THEN STATED I SHOULD DO A BETTER JOB OF SECURING MY DOG! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Obviously I was emotional at that moment and told her that i needed to end this conversation. Now how do you come into possession with a dog, scan a chip, and not verify the owner?! Isn’t that the point of the microchip?! I’m upset with the unprofessionalism and lack of empathy. Her tone and rudeness is beyond what I would expect from a VET hospital. At this point all I can do is PRAY for the best outcome of my Bella. Anyone with pets understand the bond and emotional relationship that is created when you are a pet parent. If anyone would like to contact me further they can reach me at

My cat and dog absolutely loved service and treatment! Cat’s ear infection was diagnosed right away, and my stubborn cat, who is like tiger at home, acted like sweet lamb there, letting his ears be cleaned, nails trimmed, got his show –and is in great shape. Our puppy felt so loved, that she did not even notice how hew vaccination was completed, and I felt happy with prices — downtown Chicago they were much higher, and with wonderful attitude and love for my pets. Doctors and staff are simply THE BEST.

I would never go back to Glen Oak Dog & Cat Hospital!
Two «doctors» that own this hospital are super insensitive, ignorant, and overcharge you when you come in just for an annual check up. The staff there is really nice but other than that, the place is a nightmare!
The practice is out of date (no digital xrays, records are all hand-​written) and the owners are unprofessional. They will try and butter you up, but don’t give in! It’s just a way to cover up their garbage procedures.

Great place great vet. No frills, just great pet care… there is also some piece of mind knowing your not being over charged to cover the mortgage for a fancy «pet spa, boutique, wellness center». The group knows animals and has always quickly and accurately diagnosed any issue with our two yellow labs. I would consider Glen Oak the best vet in the area and would recommend them to anyone.

I would highly recommend Glen Oak Dog & Cat Hospital! We have been seeing Dr. Ashley for several years with our two dogs. One is healthy and never has any problems, and the other has quite a complicated medical history. Dr. Ashley is always friendly, thorough, and very knowledgeable with managing our pets health. At our previous vet’s office, we always saw a different doctor each time and felt like we always had to start from square one with medical histories. Dr. Ashley recognizes us and our dogs at every visit, and has been a wonderful resource for us and our dogs!

We’ve been going to Dr. Rossman for 8 years and would never go anywhere else. He is fantastic with our dogs and a great vet. He and his staff are extremely competent and you would be hard pressed to find a better vet.

Since Banfield stopped doing free days and we were not happy with their service to begin with I decided to give Glen Oak a try. My dog was due for some shots and according to Banfield would need full blood work to renew her medication. I brought this information into the Vet and after a consultation was told that the blood test was not necessary for the type of medication we were renewing and that Banfield was just trying to make a few bucks. Obviously they could have done the tests, made the money and I would have been none the wiser but they went the extra mile and now have a new client/​patient. Now to the important part. the treatment. They were very gentle and caring with my big Rhodesian Ridgeback and were able to do everything they needed to do to her without any problems. I would highly recommend Glen Oak if you live in the area.

Great service/​Great place — really make me feel like my dog is their dog. they really care about your pets.
