Our Staff

We employ a full time staff of client service specialists, veterinary assistants, and kennel personnel, most of which have worked at Morton Grove Animal Hospital for many years. Unlike some other veterinary practices that employ predominantly part-time staff that changes frequently, you will be greeted by a familiar face that knows you and your pet. All of our staff is dedicated to making your companion feel that Morton Grove Animal Hospital is a great place to visit!

We encourage our patients to participate in our unique Treat Break program. Take the fear out of vet visits by stopping by with your pet for a friendly pat on the head and a treat. Please call ahead to make sure we can greet your furry friend.

Education

Our veterinarians attend numerous seminars each year and far exceed the continuing education hours required by the State of Illinois. By keeping our staff educated in the latest veterinary technology, we can provide the best care possible. We enjoy answering your questions and helping to guide you in making the best decisions for your pet.
