Care Animal Clinic

I met Dr. Fauley today when I took in my 11 year old dog. I was able to make an appointment and was seen right on time. The front staff are very pleasant and Dr. Fauley was thorough and very helpful. I am anti excessive vaccinations (I happily pay for rabies and bordatella) and was not questioned about this and did not have anything pushed on me. The reason for my dog’s problem was not identified, however Dr. Fauley did a thorough exam and offered practical advice. He was willing to perform further tests but did not push anything. I will definitely go back.

Excellent care — great rates! I’ve been a client since 2012 with my cat and since 2015 with my dog. Dr. Fauley and his staff are worth the drive! They care about each pet that comes in and they give the time necessary to answer all of your concerns!

We have been taking our animals here for as long as I can remember (16 – 19 years?) and have never once gotten anything besides an exemplary experience even the few times we had to put down a pet.
The best vet in the area for regular care hands down.

Time for the yearly check up. 110 lb Rhodesian Ridgeback since a puppy. Now going on 5 years. Thank you Dr. Fauley !

We’ve used Dr. Fauley and his friendly, caring staff for years! We truly appreciate the personal treatment of someone who knows us well. And so do our two dogs and two cats!

Dr. Fauley and his staff at Care Animal Clinic are excellent. Not only is the staff friendly and courteous with customers (the humans and their companions,) they are also very efficient. Dr. Fauley has taken good care of our dog, Bear. Whenever we have had any health issues, he lays out what the possible options are and makes appropriate recommendations, often starting with the most conservative options before moving to more pricey procedures and tests. I have complete confidence in Dr. Fauley.

Dr. Fauley really cares about the pets he sees in his practice, and he is also straightforward about his advice. I’ve never had the feeling he was recommending a treatment for my dog for the purpose of making more money, as I have with previous vets. He explains the choices and consequences of treatment options clearly and fairly. We’ve been going to CAC for 5 years– very happy!

This is a great veterinary clinic in Naperville. My Golden Retriever and min pin/​terrier have been going there since we got them. We get reminder postcards for their vaccinations and appointments. The staff are friendly qualified and understanding.
Dr. Fauley lives in my neighborhood and he even stopped at my house to help me get my dog in the care when he saw me struggling trying to convince her to hop in to my SUV.

My review of Care Animal Clinic and Dr Fauley keeps disappearing (interesting). I regret that I cannot recommend him. I can say that this is a caring place, but I have a real issue with over-​vaccination and when a client requests that a minimal vaccination approach be taken with their pet and the vet continues to push annual vaccinations that are not needed (particularly in older pets), I feel it is in violation of the Hippocratic oath which in essence is to «do no harm». My cancer ridden dog was given the whombo-​combo vaccine every year, even while she had cancer (that went undiagnosed for months — which, in itself, was very disappointing since there were signs that should have been explored further). Unfortunately, there are only a few holistic vets in the Chicago area that seek to strengthen the immunity and overall health of the pet … there are just too many vets that continue to push vaccines to earn their income instead. But, never again will I blindly follow that folly.

Friendly, helpful staff that PATIENTLY answered my myriad questions when I brought in my newly adopted poodle mix, Gucci. Already taking care of my two cats, and when I brought in the newest pawed member of family, I found out there now would be an ongoing 10 percent discount on all services because of the number of pets in their care — nice!

Dr. Fauley and his staff are terrific! I took Hogan here to have a check-​up and have to have neuter surgery. They took good care of him and sent us home with some heart worm medication for prevention. And it’s in a nice location in a strip mall with a large parking lot, which makes puppy transport much easier.

Still true to my original review– I simply could not recommend another vet more highly. Every member of the staff is a complete angel– I cannot thank everyone there enough for helping me cope with the loss of my best friend and «heat dog,» Martini. Or for continuing to help care for my little 1 year old pup, Rossi.
When I first rescued my dog Martini, nobody could know if she would make it or not. But with the love and encouragement of a great Dr, and his staff, she pulled through and started to live a great life with me. Although I truly wish her time on this earth was much longer, in the time she had here by my side– she was well loved and taken care of. Even in the final moments of her life, I don’t think that the consideration, and compassion we both received from this clinic could have been surpassed anywhere else. A+++
