This animal hospital is not maintained to an acceptible standard for the care of your pet. I would not visit this office for shots, and I would not trust this staff with regular diagnoses or any complicated procedures. Originally, I took my pets to this animal hospital because it was close-by, and as current and recent graduate students, my husband and I were under considerable economic limitations while caring diligently for our two beloved pets. On our first visit to Delta Animal Hospital in 2010, I did have doubts. However, they seemed reliable, and we liked that they were so close to our home for regular care and potential emergencies. Many years later, I moved back to Chicago and returned to this hospital with one of my pets who theyd seen multiple times years before. I returned in part because I didnt have a relationship with another vet office in the area and new places were booked. Delta Animal Hospital seemed like a good choice because I had been there many times before, and they accepted walkins. I knew my pet had records there, and I believed it was a good idea to return. In my older years, I can now identify that this animal hospital is not attuned to the specific needs of small pets. They are not accustomed to pets with sensitivities, and they are not sensitive to the special needs of animals with digestive problems. The environment is not kept up, the facilities are not acceptible, the exams are quick, and the doctor and staff are not fully present while conducting procedures. They seem to be confident about administering care, but I doubt this is the case. Additionally, there is not adequate explanation given from the staff on how to care for your pet upon returning home. In closing, whatever your reasons are for considering the choice of a vet, please do your research and trust your instincts. Its hard to know what to do in pressing situations, but prepare ahead and try not to settle on a place because they are close or youve seen them before. Trust yourself on these important decisions, and youll become better at making good choices for your pets.

Id been going to Delta for a couple of years. This place is absolutely fine if all you need are shots to keep your animals legal. That said... I took two Blue Heelers in for their regular checkups / shots. The older one had a weak appetite, the other had some pretty bad looking teeth in the back. She suggested I clean both of their teeth; the older one had a weak appetite because he had dirty teeth and food didnt taste good, the younger one just needed his teeth cleaned... Based on blood work she couldnt clean the older ones teeth and just prescribed some special dog food. The other we agreed should have his teeth cleaned and two teeth needed to come out. She did the cleaning but couldnt pull the teeth, she said come back in a year and wed try again... The older ones appetite didnt improve and two weeks later the older one died in his sleep. He was old, Im willing to accept that might have happened even with a better exam. The scathing review is in regards to the younger one. Those two teeth she didnt pull- became infected a month later. He ended up in the emergency room with sepsis. A very expensive emergency surgery later and hes on the road to recovery. It was my fault for trusting her and not seeking a second opinion on the little ones teeth. I guess the best I can tell you is, if youre looking for cheap annual shots- go Delta; for real check ups/issues- go to a real vet.

The doctors and staff are AMAZING here. My dog has been going here for quite some time and every single time we have taken him we have received nothing but great help. From yearly vaccinations to surgeries, they absolutely know what they are doing. My Pomeranian had to have a very invasive surgery; we made an appointment, brought him in, they called us later that day for an update, and because of these qualified vets, we got to take him home the same day. Every time I take my dog here I know he is in good hands! :)

This place saved our cats life!! He had a blocked urine track with a tangerine size blater and every veterinarian we checked was too expensive for my family. When we checked Delta Animal Hospital they were thousands of dollars cheaper and we were able to get help to pay for the procedure and the days of after care.Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! PS dont worry that the place doesnt have thousands of dollars in new furniture and decorations it goes towards cheaper services. They are good at what they do too!!

This place is disgusting. I took my dog on Sunday because he was very sick with diarrea, and that doctor did nothing. They charged me $40 dollars just for telling me that I needed to take my dog to a real hospital, because they are not an emergency place. Even thought they are not an emergency place they should not charge just for telling you that. Furthermore, there was hair on the floor from other dogs and smells horrible! That place is really dirty.

I’ve been coming here since the last 80’s and the doctor knows his stuff, no the clinic is a no frils kind of place, but is that what matters? What matters is my pets and their care, and they have always gotten great care, and you can’t beat his prices! Hence the no frills, if you want fancy decor then you will pay for it. Me I go for quality of the vet!

Always quick, easy, and affordable. Ive had to take my cat in three times within the last month for different reasons (fleas, a rash, and a cold) and theyve always been efficient and friendly. The location is convenient to me and just being able to walk in makes taking care of my pet so much easier.

I cant say enough good things about this place. Both of the doctors I have dealt with are very friendly and thoughtful in their recommendations. They are FAIR and reasonable and I love their no-nonsense approach. Both my 2 cats and 2 dogs have been well-cared for here. Recommend highly.

After my dogs vet passed, its not easy looking for a new vet. We were recommended to visit Delta animal hospital. What a great decision!! Melissa at the front desk was very helpful. Dr. Luka was great with our American Bully and explained everything in detail. Thanks!

Took my do there a week ago, I was a little skeptical about the place at first glance, but I was greeted by a friendly staff, the doctor seemed to immediately know what was wrong with my pet. The icing on the cake is how affordable they are.

Unfortunately place isnt organized. Lost records of my dog. And thought my dog would be ok, but turns out my dog is still doing bad. So have to take my dog to another clinic to ensure hes ok.
