Veterinarians near Rockton

“I love it here. I think its privately owned and I personally love that. I left other vet clinics because I felt like they pressured me or made me feel guilty for wanting to be involved in my pets care and advocate when I didnt agree with something. Dr. Knilans is so caring and listens! I drive all the way from Rockford but its worth it!“

“They listened to me! My dog needed a rather large skin tag removed, and I'm nervous about general anesthesia, so we talked and they did it with a local anesthetic. My dog didn't feel a thing because I was giving him treats dipped in peanut butter.“

“They’re all so kind, they love the animals they care for and you can tell. It’s a small clinic, which makes the care feel more personal. They’re always so happy to see my cat Boris. And they’ve been so helpful in managing my dog Ralph’s allergies.“

“Such care and compassion when we needed it most. Thank you for your care of our Gus Gus.“

“I lost my cat Benji and they were very helpful in helping him cross the rainbow bridge“

“I used this vet for the first time and was highly impressed with Dr. Oldenburg and all of the staff. Granted the outcome wasn’t good. Dr. Recommended let’s try for 2 weeks to see if things changed. I’ve never felt such compassion with the staff on my decision. Thank you for your help and guidance on making the right decision. I would recommend this the vet. Clinic to anyone.“

“I have taken several of my animals to Prairie Animal hospital. I can get same day appointments and I appreciate the great service.“

“I'm sorry this is so late. Should have done this years ago. I got referred to Animal Clinic of Rockford when my original vet's office got hit by a tornado. I was quite timid at first because my family and I had been going to that vet for over 40 years. I don't trust easy when it came to my Dog.

To say my expectations have been met would be an understatement. Dr. Patel and his team are professionals packed with knowledge, care, and compassion.

For the short time (compared to my last vet) of 4 years I had the privilege of taking my Husky to be cared for by Dr. Patel and his team, I absolutely would not take him anywhere else.

His yearly check up was always filled with going through Oscar's chart and making sure we revisit the concerns from previous visits as well as new concerns if there was any. With all the normal stuff, there was also the in depth stuff. He handled my dog's surgery to remove a lump that was bothering him. Which turned out to be cancer after sending it for testing. The team was very compassionate to my nerve racking approach. I will never forget picking my fur-ball up when he was ready. The moment I walked in, I could hear him howling and talking and knew my boy was alright.

Dr. Patel and his team also handled my Dog's euthanasia. He put my baby boy to rest and peace with the utmost respect, care, and compassion. He was very educating every single step of the process.

I wouldn't put my trust in anyone else.

A message to the team. Oscar loved you guys and gals. Every time I asked him if he wanted to go see the Dr. he went nuts! I will miss the interactions Oscar and I shared with you all. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the love and compassion you showed Oscar. I hope I can change my mind about not wanting another dog. If I do, you'll be the 1st we visit.“

“I've taken all 4 of my dogs to Dr. Chaudhry. I trust him and respect his approach. He is affordable and will make time for your emergency.
I highly recommend him.“

“The vets, and staff are wonderful here.
They explain in terms of, that I can understand.
They cared for my cat, when she wasn’t feeling well, and gave me options, that I could try.
Thankfully she is on the mend.“

“Visited for the first time recently. Staff was very nice (Mackenzie was an absolute star!) and accommodating. They have you call when you arrive and wait in your car, so you're not sitting in a waiting room with a bunch of stressed pets. The wait wasn't very long and the visit was pretty efficient. They were very willing to provide estimates for services, which was such a relief. It really helped with being able to plan for further care. Also, the building was handicap accessible which is always appreciated.“

“Dr. Chaudhry is not like most other veterinarians. He truly cares about animals and not doing unnecessary tests & treatments. And very reasonable prices. Maybe we wouldn't have such a epidemic of overfilled shelters and stray & feral cats if more Vets were more like him. People can't afford the care of their pets when they're overcharged and made to believe their beloved pets need so many extra things they push at so many Vets offices. Expensive supplements & dog food to sometimes needless tests & procedures. Especially when people are already emotional over their pets health and make emotional decisions that people can't afford then feel they cannot continue caring for their pets. It shouldn't be just a business. We don't need fancy offices, crafts & candles being sold in the offices either. Basic care and Vets that teach how to care for your pets issues at home that can prevent many illnesses. DR. Chaudhry checks all those boxes in teaching and care. And it's worth mentioning that pet parents also need to be kind and patient with staff...they are working very hard and it's a very emotional & demanding job. I hope more Vets can be more care focused and less business & revenue focused.“

“I moved to Rockford a year ago and this is my new preferred vet clinic. The doctor knows her stuff and really cares about the patient, takes the time to listen to you and examine them to figure out what is going on. Prices are the best in the region, cash or check only, she takes a step by step approach with them instead of loading you up with unnecessary tests. Be aware due to the low cost they are very busy and you will wait, but it is worth it.“

“We sadly and suddenly had to put our 13 year old dog. The staff was amazing and helped me through a very traumatic time. Cannot recommend them highly enough.“

“My Husband & I love Badger Veterinary Hospital!! And we love Dr. Allen!!! The staff is always professional, helpful, patient and super sweet! We have a rescue reactive pup who get scared of many things when it comes the vet. Thank you to kindness and patience of Dr. Allen and the staff he is less stressed than he used to be! Dr. Allen is a miracle worker she has been there every step to help us and guidance in give best quality of life for our sweet rescue boy! Draco is working through his fears and teaching us along the way. But we have seen so much improvement and I definitely believe that a good part of that is due to Dr.Allen & the staff at the Beloit Badger Veterinary Hospital! We highly recommend them! Thank you Dr. Allen & Staff!!!“
