Our tailored puppy and kitten care is not only a chance for us to set your pet up with their first core vaccines, but to establish a good relationship with them so they learn that coming to the vet isn’t such a scary thing!

We tailor our vaccinations based on the lifestyle and age of your pet. Here in Chicago, our pets can be exposed to many potential illnesses but we immunize each patient for their individual preventative needs.

On average, altered pets live longer, healthier lives. We achieve this by advocating for the safe and common practices of spaying and neutering at an appropriate age. We recommend that you get your pet spayed or neutered for numerous reasons.

We follow AAHA guidelines and maintain meticulously cleaned designated surgical suites. For every surgical procedure, in addition to the Veterinarian, we have two dedicated Veterinary Technicians on the Procedure Team.

Every pet can benefit from nutrition counseling to achieve a long healthy life. We consider individual medical conditions, activity level, potential allergies and pet preferences when making our recommendations.

The most common allergens we see in pets are to insects (think fleas), environment, like weeds or molds, and food. Allergies are one of the most common and complex diseases we see in veterinary medicine.

We work to prevent and treat both endoparasites and ectoparasites and are always looking to find the most convenient and effective options available. While we can’t help that parasites exist, we can stop them from causing illness in our pets.

Dental care is important for your pet’s overall health. Outside of oral hygiene and comfort, the gum line can be an avenue for bacteria to enter the bloodstream and affect organ health. We recommend a Complete Oral Treatment once a year.

Skin allergies are common in pets. Causes can include flea allergies, environmental allergies, and food allergies, among others. When your pet visits us, our main goal is to make them more comfortable by breaking the itch cycle and reducing skin inflammation.

We are ready to investigate and treat your pet’s medical concerns when they’re sick. We are able to perform in-house diagnostics to immediately evaluate for internal organ dysfunction, infection, and trauma.

When cases warrant further investigation, we work with board certified specialists. All of our specialty partners provide us with written reports of their visits which keep us up to date on exactly what is happening with your pet.

Heartworm disease is life-threatening and takes several months to treat. Sadly, this completely preventable disease is becoming more prevalent in the United States each year. Our tailored heartworm treatment plans are guided by the American Heartworm Society.

We use a combination of In-House and Referral Laboratory services in order to provide the most accurate and timely information needed for each case. Additionally, we recommend specific Wellness blood work panels based on the age of your pet.

Our very own ultrasound-certified Veterinary Technicians will be collaborating with a virtual licensed sonographer to perform real-time abdominal ultrasounds and echocardiograms on your pets right at BLVD Vet.
