I've been taking my dog here for about a year after moving to the Wicker Park area. It's a 5 minute walk from my apartment which is why I originally chose it but it turned out to be the best vet I've been to in years. The office staff and vet techs are always so great. My dog, Hamburger, can be a bit unpredictable around new people and sometimes doesn't take kindly to strangers but she absolutely loves everyone here and has never had any issues. She warmed up to everyone so quickly! They are always so kind and welcoming to her and it just melts my heart how excited they are to see her every time

Dr Moser and Dr Courtney are wonderful as is the rest of the staff here. Everyone is so friendly and compassionate and I feel like my animals are getting the best care. Our dog Sage LOVES coming here because there are an endless supply of treats :).

As a first time puppy owner, Companion has been an absolute godsend. The whole team is incredibly responsive (even when I suspected my novice questions didnt warrant urgency) and shower my dog with affection anytime we visit. It is wonderful to have a trusted and professional team who loves your pet as much as you do and I believe we couldnt have survived the first year without them!

From my very first phone call with Companion Animal Hospital WP I was treated with kindness and respect... and MOST importantly not rushed off the phone (Thanks Logan!). But let's be honest, the real critic is Hugo the cat. Previously, because he'd lose his mind, he would have to be sedated at all his past vet visits. This was our first visit to Companion, I wanted to switch vet clinics in hopes of a better experience and boy did I get one! The fear free model helped Hugo tremendously. Dr. Courtney might as well take him home because Hugo LOVED her. I'm not sure what magic she used but I could

My dog Brady is skittish around doctors and as a result simple vaccinations can be complicated, up to requiring anesthesia. Since starting with Companion Wicker Park the doctors and techs have worked to build a relationship with him and ease some of his anxiety. During our most recent vaccine appointment he was in and out in under 10 minutes! I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate everyone working with my guy to make him feel comfortable during his appointments.

My blind cat Nala has kidney issues, and she was very nervous for her vet visit. This was our first time there. Nala is tiny for her age, but very strong, the Vet and staff were very kind, compassionate and gentle with her. They make pets and their owners feel comfortable and safe, they answer all your questions, they are very attentive and knowledgeable. I am very happy with their service; everyone makes you feel like you are family, and they understand how important your pets are to you. They make sure to keep everything clean for our safety during the pandemic. I knew the moment I spoke to Logan
