It’s National Cat Day, apparently, but at AMC we celebrate cats everyday even when they would rather not be here.

Studies have shown that donut collars that look like actual donuts are superior to donut collars that don’t. (It was one study by Bamba but we confirmed, the science is very sound).

Happy National Ice Cream Day from your local vet who's favorite special treat is ice cream! One of our newer veterinarians Dr. Forti got this amazing set of photos while Dr. Solomon meeting a kitty and giving him Churu, this cat was so in love with everything that he was climbing Dr. Solomon and grabbing onto the stick to get more chicken churu! Is your furchild getting a pup cup/kitty kup today to celebrate? Show us in the comments!

Not a single sound gets past these incredible ears on one of our favorite frequent fliers, Watson! He announces himself every time he comes to see us, throwing back his head to holler in his perfect beagle voice and letting his magnificent ears extend to their full spread eagle form. Is he the winnder of the Ears of the Year award? Clearly he's taking first place, blue ribbon, platinum gold all-star champ, anything else would be a disgrace.

We are HUGE on veterinary dental care here, because we've seen how it can change lives for the better. Brushing teeth is certainly beneficial, we will never deny that - but we recognize that it's difficult to brush all sides of your pet's teeth, and that ultimately they need cleanings under the gums and x-rays to check on the status of the teeth, just like we do even with brushing our teeth at least once a day (if not more). Putting a pet under anesthesia is a big deal, but that's why we always check bloodwork beforehand and provide top quality care ensuring proper vitals monitoring and anesthetic management. Wanna join the Clean Teeth Brigade? Simply mention it at your next appointment and our staff will be happy to answer any questions you may have!

What's your pet's favorite summertime activity? The dog park is always a favorite for our canine companions! Do you have everything you need for the dog park? We can help you get your DFA tag and vaccines + stool testing done so your pup can run free in the local Dog Friendly Areas! What are y'all getting up to this weekend? Show us in the comments!

Happy 4th of July from the tiniest pup named Dennis!! We are CLOSED today for the holiday, but will be back open tomorrow at 8 AM bright and early to see everyone. Stay safe, keep your kitties and pups safe, and enjoy your holiday!

We love it when dogs love us. That's why we strive for the best, and take Fear Free care seriously. Founded in the concepts of respecting autonomy and prioritizing health as high as safety, we see the results daily. We're never going to restrain an animal forcefully just to get something done, we're going to listen to their body language and go with what works best for them. Some pets need their parents there, some need extra baby food and cheese to distract them, and some need anti-anxiety medications to not feel like they have to escape in a panic. We know that pokey things like vaccines and blood draws are no fun, but we make it as positive of an experience possible with tasty treats and lots of love from professionals who truly adore all animals. Curious about what Fear Free could look like for your pet? Call our office at 773-525-3353 to schedule your first appointment today!

Dog Beaches are SO MUCH FUN! But did you know that your dog needs to get vetted first before going to the beach? We can help! People bringing dogs into a Chicago Park District DFA (dog friendly area) must have both a permit with them and a registration tag for each dog. The registration tag must be on the dog's collar or harness. The permit and registration tag may be used at any officially sanctioned Chicago Park District DFA. We can help you get everything you need sorted for this, just ask one of our Care Coordinators when you schedule your pup's wellness appointment!

Cat owners! Is this your kitty?!? One of our clients found this very sweet cat wandering the streets of Chicago near the Schubert/Hermitage intersection. We scanned the kitty for a microchip, but none came up. Does this kitty belong to you? Reach out to us at 773-525-3353 and we will put you in touch with the rescuer, who is fostering the kitty until someone claims them. Share share share! Let's get this kitty home!

We've got all kinds of good stuff rotating in our snack stash. We usually have some special flavors like venison and lamb, and we've even got hydrolyzed cookies and peanut butter packets for the special allergy pups! Oh and of course we've got Churu and spray cheese for our kitty friends, and sometimes we get little gravy snack packs too! Can't forget about the baby food, that's a crowd favorite ♥ Does your pet have a favorite here? Anything we should get in stock next?

What do you think is going through Frankie's head?? That face can convince even the most stoic of hearts to cave in and give him a cookie, he is so perfect.

Swimming season is upon us! Not every dog will get an ear infection after swimming, but it can happen easily due to the moisture getting trapped in their ears. In order to prevent this from happening, you can use a general purpose ear cleaner with a drying agent, like EpiKlean, after they're done swimming for the day. Show us your water dogs in the comments!

We need your help! Pablo the puppy needs a forever home!
Meet Pablo, the sweetest puppy you'll ever see, an 18-week old pitty mix rescued by one of our employees from the streets of Chicago. Sadly, sweet Pablo had never been vaccinated, and contracted Parvovirus - one of the deadliest viral diseases a dog can get. Our hospital owner Dr. Solomon was heartbroken at his condition; she agreed to take him in as a temporary foster and covered the expensive treatment he needed at MedVet to survive this horrible illness. He's now in the temporary care of our practice manager Eric, and has been making HUGE strides in recovery! He is NEGATIVE for parvovirus, and is feeling better every single day! Pablo is adoring, gentle, and so, so sweet. He is incredibly chill and loves his kennel, he is such a well-behaved boy!

Pablo's needs: a calm and loving home that will give him structure and attention. He is currently potty-pad trained, and Eric is working to wean him off of them. He is still learning how to navigate the world, we aren't sure how he is with other dogs yet - but he loves cats! He is shy with strangers and new things, but he is cautiously curious and will do great with socialization. Due to his past illness, he is still underweight, but he is gaining weight every day! He will need his vaccine series finished, and he is not yet neutered. He took his first dose of heartworm/flea/tick preventative yesterday. He has had many names and is not attached to any of them, so you can choose one that you think fits!

Do you think Pablo would be the perfect addition to your family? Please contact our practice manager Eric at (872)-246-3593 to discuss setting up a meet-and-greet. Please share!! Sweet Pablito needs a home ASAP!

Today is Juneteenth! It is a federally recognized holiday celebrated on June 19 to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the US. The holiday was first celebrated in Texas, where on that date in 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War, enslaved people were declared free under the terms of the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth celebrations then, like now, recognize the ongoing fight for human rights and equality and are commemorated through family cookouts, faith services, musical performances and storytelling. Show us how you and your pups are celebrating in the comments!
