South Loop Animal Hospital has been a terrific find for our elderly (15) cat suffering from chronic kidney function decline. The thoughtfulness and thoroughness of care that Dr. Dan Sanchez has provided has been top-notch. The facilities are squeaky clean, are designed with a homey feeling, and the diagnostic services are squarely 21st century. South Loop Animal Hospital is a breath of fresh air In a world where corporate franchised veterinary clinics are becoming more common in cities. Theyre independently owned and they care very much about each patient. If youre looking for the best in care for your beloved pet in downtown Chicago you couldnt do better than South Loop Animal Hospital. ------------------------ Update: May 12, 2016 Now nearly two years after my initial review our opinion of South Loop Animal Hospital and Dr. Dan Sanchez has only grown stronger. Sadly, renal failure eventually overtook our beloved 17 year-old cat this month. But Dr. Sanchezs devotion to thoughtful and flexible care was a major factor in allowing our cat to live a longer and more natural and comfortable end of life than we really expected. When the time came for us to let go Dr. Sanchez and his staff provided the most gentle and compassionate final moments for our cat that we could have hoped for. If the day ever comes when we bring a new 4-legged friend into our home in Chicago there is absolutely no doubt that s/he will become a new patient at South Loop Animal Hospital. Thank you so much Dr. Sanchez, Lindsey, Allison, and the whole staff at SLAH.

First time I had been there. It was not a good outcome (depending on how you look at it) for my Buster. I cannot say enough good things about this place and the staff. Buster had out of control diabetes and Dr. Sanchez was honest and compassionate beyond belief. I told him human doctors should have his bedside manner. My experience was so wonderful from walking in greeted by a sparkling clean and wonderfully decorated office to Dennis the receptionist and then Dr. Sanchezs assistant (sorry I cant remember your name). I was in the middle of telling her about Busters back legs being too shakey to lift while urinating - all the while - he lifted his back leg and peed all down the front of her leg and shoe and all over the floor without us noticing him. She never got pis..errr upset) True to form Buster was a little son-of-a-gun till the end. lolol. Dr. Sanchez allowed me to hold my Boy through the whole process. I could never express what a comfort and encouragment Dr. was to me. Even in my grief later on in the day getting my hair cut - I gave his name out to other dog lovers who were looking for a new good vet. And as I live in Bridgeport and we are known for not wanting to have to travel more than 15 minutes to get anywhere - the office is close and parking is good. I will be bringing my other mini-schnauzer Gussie (Busters bro-yeah I know double sad) to Dr. Sanchez and the South Loop Animal Hospital for all his medical care. May God protect and prosper you.

My dog Baby a 13 yr old pomeranian was very sick so i took her in as a first time client, we had difficulties in the past with vets so I was nervous about taking her in to a new place but figured it couldnt be worse than the last. Dr Sanchez took her in immediately under his care, he showed great concern for my pet as it was his own, he diagnosed her with kidney failure and in order to bring her back to a comfortable state of living, it was necessary to keep her there for at least 48 hrs.. I was hesitant but i decided to trust their professional opinion. Dr Sanchez personally called me to give me updates 2-3 times a day, it was a comfortable feeling knowing that I was always aware with her status, during her 48 hr timeframe, 4th of July inconveniently landed in the middle of the week and the office was closed for holiday, to avoid interruption in her treatment, Dr Sanchez went into the clinic twice that day to check up on her, give her medicine, walk her and spend time with her so that she wasnt alone. this was the most remarkable service provided by any doctor, I will forever take all of my other pets to this clinic. The staff is friendly, my pets are happily greeted upon their arrival and the rooms are very clean.

Dr. Sanchez and the entire team at South Loop Animal hospital are truly top notch in not only the care of their patients, but in the care of their owners too:) Our dog Rooney visited them on a few different occasions in his first two years of life and regardless of the issues we dealt with we were always at ease knowing he was being cared for by the team at SLAH. When we decided to move to LA, one of the things we knew we were going to miss the most was SLAH!! We still compare our new care to theirs every chance we get. They asked us for pictures of our journey to the west coast with Rooney and we even have called a few times to check in or get info about his past medical history. Even though we are not in Chicago anymore, we feel we could call at any time for help from a far. They go above an beyond and I am really jealous of the dog owners in Chicago that still have the opportunity to have care at SLAH. From the helpful staff that submits claims for insurance and always help through scary situations with care, to the doctors that make you feel like part of the team that cares for your pet, you can do no better than South Loop Animal Hospital.

We love Dr. Sanchez and his team, we drive from the suburbs to see him! The office staff and techs are so friendly to me and caring to my dog. We have been patients of Dr. Sanchez for almost 8 years and he has helped us through some very challenging times. He takes his time with us and thoroughly explains all options in a patient friendly manner. He always tries to give us the most cost effective option and the prices are very fair for the excellent care we receive. My dog had to have a tumor removed this winter and he did an amazing job with the surgery, everyone kept telling me it was going to come back but it has been 8 months and there is no sign of it and I believe this is due to his skill as a surgeon. Most importantly I know that he cares for my dog, he says Hi to her first and treats her as if she is his only patient event though he is very busy. I cannot say enough good things about South Loop Animal Hospital, especially Dr. Sanchez.

I have recently made the switch to South Loop for my pets. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat and so far they have met all of my dogs. My cat is the last to go in only because he is very difficult to get out of the house. I have to say I am very impressed with South Loop from the time I walked in the door until I left. EVERYONE here is awesome. I get better treatment and care here than I do at my own doctors office LOL. They are truly caring, knowledgeable, have wonderful personalities. They helped my puppy get better when he was sick, helped my oldest dog be more comfortable, and helping me with information on training and all my questions. The follow up after my visits were very shocking to me as I have never had a vet call me to see how everyone was doing, what a great and professional staff. I would highly recommend South Loop to anyone who has a pet of any kind. Best decision I have made in a long time. Thank you all!!!
