Portage Park Animal Hospital – Vet Clinic in Bucktown
When your cat or dog isn’t feeling well or is injured, you need the peace of mind of knowing they will receive the best pet care possible. It’s important to have a caring, compassionate veterinary staff you can trust with your pet for whatever is needed at the time.
Portage Park Animal Hospital understands that pets are important members of the family and deserve the same level of care you would expect for yourself. We treat each of our pet patients with the love and respect they deserve, making their comfort and safety our top priority.
Premier Veterinary Services
Whether you need a Bucktown veterinarian for kitten care or a doggie dental, Portage Park Animal Hospital provides comprehensive premier care for all your pet’s needs.
Regular Health Exams
The best way to prevent unexpected pet health problems is to be proactive with regularly scheduled checkups. Annual visits are essential but more frequent exams may be recommended if your pet develops a health condition.
These examinations allow our doctors to check ears, eyes, teeth, heart, hips, glands, and much more. We also test for parasites and ask questions to ensure there are no behavioral issues. These exams include:
- Puppy and Kitten Wellness Programs
- Preventative Vaccinations
- Parasite Prevention
Surgical Services
Our doctors regularly perform routine and advanced surgical procedures. Depending on the pet and procedure, we can use a scalpel or C02 laser. When using the laser, blood vessels are cauterized and nerve endings blunted while making the incision, resulting in reduced swelling, bleeding, and post-procedure pain.
- Spay / Neuter
- Orthopedic Operations
- Complicated Emergency Surgeries
On-Site Laboratory Services
Our in-house lab allows us to obtain immediate results for many common tests. These include but are not limited to the following:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Chemistry Panels
- Electrolyte Panels
- Parasite Screening
- Urinalysis
- Cytology
Any specialty testing or pathology needed goes to an external laboratory that typically generates results the following day. Rapid test results translate to faster diagnoses and treatment so your pet can heal or recover sooner.
Pet Teeth Cleaning & Dental Services
Oral health is an important part of your pet’s overall well-being. Problems in the mouth can lead to serious eating issues, infections that spread to other parts of the body, and other serious problems.
We recommend annual teeth exams and cleanings but for senior pets or those with a history of dental disease, more frequent visits may be needed. We will examine and clean your pet’s teeth while also addressing things like loose or broken teeth, abscesses, and many other pet dental issues.
