I have never had better animal care than I do at VCA Hawthorn. I am always able to get an appointment when needed, the care is amazing from all the staff, Dr. Marrinan is always friendly and personable. I can't express my gratitude to this amazing group of caregivers!

In Sept 2011 I took my 8 yr old Golden in for not eating or eliminating. The same thing had happened a week before and she got something then to help with the accompanying nausea and more. She was back to normal very quickly. A week later she repeated those symptoms. I had a supervisor flying in that week, and I thought that she would be ok if I dropped her off for treatment which turned into an overnight observation. The second day Hawthorn xrayed her and found something she had eaten that was tearing her intestines. I ok'd surgery. She stayed there Tuesday to noon on Sat. I visited her every day; they would take her off her drip and we would walk gently in their backyard which was fenced. She would always head for the gate. They have no one in the building between closing the day before to 8:00 am when they opened the next day. The place closes from noon on Sat until 8 am Monday, so you have to pick up your pet no matter what its condition. They put Maggie in the back of my CRV and I drove home, arriving 20 minutes later. When I opened the back of the car, all I could see was ths long incision on her belly oozing blood and puss. I called them and they were gone, so I drove her to the emergency vet further south off Milwaukee. They examined her and told me that her blood pressure and potassium were way too low for them to operate so they would try to remedy this and would try to improve these conditions so they could. They said it was 50-50 once they were able. She had the surgery in early evening and passed at exactly 10 pm. I since learned that if a vet does not staff overnight to care for Animals; they turn down any drips and the animals were alone from closing to 8 am. I told the woman vet in charge what happened and that I felt her death was at least in part their responsibility. She offered to return a third of their bill, but I would have to keep my mouth shut. I told her that I wouldn't sell my dog for $800, and I told everyone I saw about Hawthorn Animal's cynical approach to your pet's well being. BTW, the bill from the emergency vet's bill was $11,000. Two months later I adopted another 8 year old Golden and a terrific new vet, CARE Animal Hospital in Libertyville. They saved Sadie's life twice. I am forever grateful to them.

I was born on the streets of Chicago early 90's. My first owner that is was fun to test their hand speed and coordination by trying to slap my face, head, feet...without getting seriously bitten. My current owner ... well if you read, "White Fang" you know my story. These ladies at Hawthorn put up with the biting and saved my life. My brother & sister died 4 years ago from Thyroid problems. They introduced me to a cutting edge diet that is just being tested now. I'm alive, in my mid twenties and been around the block. This place is run with passion and understanding. They think I don't understand what they're saying and even caught unguarded they sincerely care for my welfare. And the cost is reasonable considering I got a rich neighborhood. Whiskers ya, i dig these people!

I brought my cat in for annual one year vaccine. They gave a Benadryl injection first due to a reaction from the same vaccine previously given. My cat was taken out of the room for the Benadryl injection& vaccine injection. They brought my cat back up in the carrier and I went home. Once I was home I took my cat out of the carrier and he was not able to use his left hind leg he was dragging it. The cat I heard scream was my cat I was devastated that they would send me home with my cat and not even tell me what had happened. When the vet gave the injection she hit the sciatica nerve. It has been a year now and my cat cannot squat to pee. He has to stand he is able to have use of his hind leg however he has a slight limp. They had me come back in to take x-rays the same night and I could not believe they charged me for that as well. I have not heard from the California main office nor from anyone at the Vernon Hills office either.
