I live in Chicago, so Fox Lake Animal Hospital is a hike. However, if one of my dogs has a health issue beyond just the typical everyday stuff, I take them there. Dr. Rudowski and Dr. Max are no-nonsense country vets that have helped heal my dogs of various injuries and illnesses that several vets in the city either couldn't diagnose properly or would have charged triple for treating. It's a first come, first serve hospital with no appointments, so be sure to call ahead for hours before you head out there. Well worth the trip!
Pros: Top docs, reasonable prices
