At Bowes Animal Hospital – Urgent & Wellness Care, we believe you and your pets deserve the highest quality veterinary care combined with exceptional client service. Our goal has always been to provide a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated team focused on the health and happiness of your furry family members. We are committed to offering state-of-the-art veterinary services in a welcoming and professional environment for pets in Elgin, IL, and the surrounding areas.
During your pet’s annual wellness exam, our veterinarians perform a complete physical check-up, examining your pet from head to tail, including teeth, gums, and all critical areas of health. Just like humans, pets can experience dental issues, and routine professional cleanings are essential to maintain a healthy mouth and prevent future complications.
We encourage pet owners to keep a detailed medical journal for their pets, including notes on vaccinations, treatments, behavior changes, diet, elimination habits, and any unusual occurrences. Bringing this information to your veterinary visits helps our team better understand your pet’s health and ensures we can provide the most accurate and personalized care.
Choosing the right veterinarian is essential. At Bowes Animal Hospital, our team is calm, compassionate, and always willing to explain each procedure or treatment. We strive to make every visit comfortable and convenient for both pets and their guardians. Our facility is fully equipped to handle surgeries, anesthesia, dental care, and other procedures safely. For pets undergoing anesthesia, we perform necessary pre-procedure exams, including lab work and imaging, to ensure their safety and well-being.
In cases that require specialized care, our veterinarians may refer your pet to trusted specialists in areas such as internal medicine, surgery, and emergency care. This ensures your pet receives the highest level of expertise when needed, while still benefiting from the personalized care and attention Bowes Animal Hospital provides.
At Bowes Animal Hospital, we treat your pets like family, combining preventive care, advanced treatments, and compassionate service to help them live long, healthy, and happy lives.
