Care Animal Hospital of Libertyville - Libertyville, Illinois

My cat was throwing up, and not eating 5 days after his dental cleaning and extractions (performed at Care). Took him back to Care and the vet didn’t do much to try to figure out what was going on. She made me feel guilty about him not having his distemper vaccine (could have sworn he had it, but my mistake), and she questioned the food he has always eaten. She kept reiterating how he needed to eat otherwise he could develop a liver disease, and how he’ll just get worse and worse. Obviously I knew that, it’s why I was there! After taking him to the back for bloodwork, etc, she came back in the room and nonchalantly mentioned how they’re also doing a culture, because they recently had a cat there with a highly contagious virus. I honestly think that she forgot to tell me about it until right before we were done. Again she pushed the distemper vaccine (okay I get it!). She told me to wait about 20 mins to go over his bloodwork, but almost an hour went by, and she didn’t come back. Shame on me for waiting. I asked the front desk to have her call me, because I just wanted to get my little guy home. I never got a call about the bloodwork, I had to call back, more than once. He wasn’t getting better either. They sent a prescription for more anti nausea medicine, but he still wasn’t keeping a bite down.
We ended up going to the ER and even they were baffled by how the vet at Care handled everything. They were shocked the vet at Care didn't do an X-ray, and weren’t buying the fact his food had anything to do with it. Turns out he was constipated, and it was most likely from the anesthesia from his dental work. Something Care could have, and probably should have been able to determine had they been more thorough, and done something other than just focus on his distemper shot and reminding me repeatedly how he needs to eat. I felt like there was no urgency in trying to determine what was wrong, and honestly felt like I was being blamed for what was going on with him. Needless to say, we’ll be looking for another vet.

Hands down the best vet in the area. They find alternative ways to handle animal care and always do what’s best for both the owner and pet. I love this place and all of the staff. From nail trimmings, shots, to exams.. they are the best. Thanks for the good care!

Dr. Luaces and his team are EXCELLENT! He is the BEST surgeon I know. He is the only surgeon I trust to work on my dogs. That says a lot because I run a dog rescue and work with vets all over the midwest. I travel almost an hour one way to see him and it is worth every second of my time. He and his staff are kind, caring, and AMAZING.

I want to thank the staff and Dr Luaces for the care of my beautiful cat Bella. Unfortunately, my Bella was very sick and had to cross the Rainbow bridge to Heaven. The doctor was caring and compassionate with this process and with me because I was by myself having to do something like this. Thank you Patty

The doctors are thorough, never rush thru the exams and address all your questions and concerns. Jordan always greets our gang (3) of pups as tho they are her own. If you're looking for a veterinarian, I would recommend Care Animal Hospital of Libertyville without hesitation.

We took our pair of German shepherds in for their annual physical. The Doc, tech and support staff were amazing. We had a great experience. We got all of their meds onsite and have set-up reminders via the app.

Wish I could give no stars.
My dog has been on bravecto for tick prevention and has apparently had Lyme disease since 2020. My vet Care Animal of Libertyville just told me about it two years later. The excuse given was because it was during her boarding and when the test came back it wasn’t added to the system correctly. I even called 4 days ago to make her yearly appointment, and a bit concerned because my sweet girl had been a bit lethargic and they said “nothing in her health history points to an issue.”
Furious beyond belief. Will never be back. Made an appointment with Green tree before I even pulled out of Care. My sweet 4 year old girl for a reference.
