Our SERVICES
Advocate Health Savings Program
We have the next level in traditional animal wellness plans.
Our mission is to make lives better for pets and the people who love them. In order to do that we have created a program that allows pet parents, in partnership with Animal Advocate pet care-givers, to set the services needed for the year and pay in installments. The pricing changes to the level that works for the pet parents budget. Its that simple.

Physical Exams
In order to get your pet needed care, the state of Illinois requires a valid pet-client-vet relationship. To put it plainly, at least 1 physical exam with a veterinarian each year.
We can provide this to you. You can expect a thorough exam with explanation of next steps needed for your pet from our team.
Dentistry
Halitosis is stinky breath. If your pet can clear a room, your pet may have dental disease. Research shows that dental disease is a silent killer for pets. At Animal Advocate, we have perfected the dental cleaning process to allow for maximum safety, cleaning, and yes, affordability.
HEALTH CERTIFICATES
Did you know that even if you travel within the United States with your pet you need a Certified Health Certificate?
Here is where we help: We have ACCREDITED Veterinarians to fill out your forms for you. We also work with a company to directly submit the certificate to the state you are about to travel.
Going out of the country? We can help you with that as well. This is more complicated so please schedule an Out of Country Guideline Exam as soon as you know you want to go so we can help you through this multi-step process.
In House Laboratory
We have the capabilities to test your pet in the hospital same day.
This will help with diagnosis of different diseases without having to wait a day or two to find out.
We can still send some labs to an outside lab if preferred. You get options with us.
Dedicated Anesthesia Monitoring
When you choose to place your pet under anesthesia for various needs, feel confident that at Animal Advocate Pet Hospital, your pet will have a friend through the process. A dedicated anesthesia monitoring assistant will be available to utilize machines like our doctor would use on us to monitor, maintain, and adjust each pet’s anesthesia process specific to them.
This is very important for safety.
OUR PROCESS
GETTING READY
Remember to bring in any previous veterinary records to help make your appointment with us exactly what your pet needs are at that time.
