This place used to be great but how things have changed... This place it total chaos. When I was there getting pre surgery blood work and vaccines, it was as if the doctor hadn't even read my dogs chart and just wanted to push as much extra unnecessary stuff on me as possible. The doctor was so unprofessional and admitted to giving sub-par medical advice. You can't make this stuff up!
Anyway, go here if you don't mind being ripped off by a money hungry management that puts the importance of the dollar above that of your pets health. They will smile in your face and are a very nice

Companion is my go to for my pets. The staff is friendly and they take good care of my fur-babies. I also like how accommodating they are. When my cat needed medical attention, I called them and they were able to see her that same day.

I had an emergency with the cat that adopted me. His left front paw became too painful for him to walk upon. I had no experience with Companion at all, but that will change. Cookie is not the easiest kitty to deal with but they handled him extremely well. They prescribed medication for the infection in his paw and the affects of it are already apparent. Everything about the experience was wonderful (apart from the hurt kitty). I would fully recommend Companion Animal Hospital of Vernon Hills to anyone looking for a great veterinarian.

You know it's a great veterinarian's office when your dog isn't scared to go in! Everyone is so nice from the time you walk in to the time you check out. Super clean and nicely decorated. I would highly recommend.

I brought my new puppy in and they were very welcoming and answered all my questions. They called promptly the next day to let me know test results.
