The Whole Pet

This place is by far the Best Vet I've ever gone to and I'm in rescue so that's saying a Lot! The vets and all the staff are so caring and attentive. The care is holistic and comprehensive. The office atmosphere is calm and relaxed. I cannot recommend enough! The pics show my 18 year old Super Senior, Izzie, getting her weekly acupuncture, chiropractic, and cold laser therapy. This along with medication and herbs, help manage her arthritis pain and chronic kidney disease. We are very fortunate to have them so close by. Prices are slightly higher than the high traffic vets around, but the care and service we receive is more than worth it. I wish more vets were like The Whole Pet and offered the holistic services and care.

Very pleased with all of our experiences here. My dog started visiting in winter of 2021, so roughly a year. He had tweaked his back, was walking with a slight limp and was no longer taking stairs. A different vet quickly recommend spinal surgery, but we wanted a second opinion. Dr. Tartof started him on a regimen of acupuncture and chiropractic work. Later we added some exercises at home and supplements. He's a changed dog. Even the groomers have commented on how much better he moves. You'd never know there was an injury and his puppy energy is back. Best of all, Dr. Tartof's recommendations have gradually reduced, reflecting the healing that's happened. We're not on an endless cycle of visits, only what's appropriate. The team is polite and friendly, we feel welcome and have received excellent care.

Dr Tardoff is the best vet in Illinois. She is smart thorough and caring. I would highly recommend The Whole Pet

Took my dog here for the first time and had a great experience. After having a rough time with allergies and a horrible experience at our previous vet, the staff here gave us a thorough treatment plan and options. The staff was so helpful and kind to our dog. Definitely would recommend this place!

We have been going here for years, taking all 4 of our animals. The last few interactions have been extremely poor with the last being completely unacceptable. My wife was turned away with our one year old son with the office manager saying their policy was sent through text. My wife made the appointment and was never physically told the policy. We drive almost an hour there and her making my son sit in his car seat for 3 hours was not an option. We also could not send our 14 yr old dog in alone as we were afraid with his increased anxiety of setting him into a panic attack. Unfortunately, with all of the money, time, and energy we have put into this place, it was basically told to us that they did not care if we ever return. Careless and insensitive management of the office.
