4 Paws Animal Hospital

Dr. Donna is so great. She really gives her all for every little patient... Our family becomes hers instantly... Dorothy is just so helpful and caring... The best vet for our babies cats and dogs...

We moved to Lake County 2 years ago. My search for a great Vet to care for my 2 cats allowed us to meet 3 Vets in the area. I chose 4 Paws because Dr Donna took time to explain everything in detail regarding my senior Siamese' multiple health issues. Dr. and her staff were so kind and patient with my boy when he was "uncooperative". I was also very impressed with the Vet techs. They are knowledgeable, kind and caring. Both of my cats had lived in feral colonies before they chose to adopt me. Not all Vet clinics have experience with feral & former feral cats so finding out everyone at 4 paws has extensive and ongoing experience with them is a big plus for me. 5 stars and full trust for 4 Paws!

You're not going to find a more incredible vet than Dr. Dona in the NW burbs of Chicago!! She's a no nonsense but sincere and well schooled vet. We gladly go out of our way to have her as our sole source of animal care. We discovered her thru her selfless and committed act of Spay and Stay for ferrel cats in Lake County. Our little 8yr old Mini was how we found 4Paws. We rescued Mini from the farm property I work at. Mini was wild and kept a far distance from humans at under 1yr old and was coughing. Trapping her was no small feat. Dr Dona treated her for a respiratory infection among all the other things she needed, including a chip id. Mini now enjoys a snuggly, safe life as a solely indoor cat thanks to Dr Dona's serious, wise recommendation to do so after expressing her joy that we were not going to return her to the farm. That's an option you have when you go thru the Spay and Stay organization. She and other selfless vets in Lake County are making a huge difference in the slowing down of ferrel pregnancies by spaying and treating wild cats and having you release them back outside to live the remainder of their lives without making more ferrell's. We've since taken in 2 brother kittens found on the side of the road who went thru the same program. We recommend Dr Dona to many friends and family for their own pets. Every one who's taken that recommendation have traded in their old vet for her. She's a no nonsense professional who knows her job well and helps with the hardest cases without breaking your bank. Fair and honest. Literally, goes out of her way to make sure your furr babies are taken care of. She's met us on the road several times to make sure we had the medicine we've needed for our pets. Thank you for your huge heart and incredible animal wisdom, Dr Dona! We love you!

This is the best vet office/hospital in the Chicagoland area. Private equity is not a thing here. Dr. Donna cares about her patients and will charge reasonable prices. We drive an hour to make sure our dog gets the care she deserves. For the people who are complaining about appointments etc, you don't know the cost of running a medical office. Yes I have to leave a voicemail message, but at least I can afford to take my pets here unlike everywhere else where they upcharge you on every little thing. Thank you Dr. Donna!

they took very good care of my boys. they were up and running and playing the day after their neuter, no extra meds or anything
