Dental Months

To celebrate National Pet Dental Month, we will be increasing our dental cleaning discount to $125 from January 1st to February 29th! Just like people, pets are at risk for dental problems that can cause pain and serious health issues. Did you know that poor oral health can cause heart, liver and kidney problems for your pet? Oral disease is the most prevalent pet health problem and affects nearly 80% of dogs and cats over the age of three. Common signs of oral disease include: bad breath; yellow-brown crust on teeth; red or bleeding gums; change in eating or chewing habits; loose, chipped, broken, or missing teeth; pawing at the face or mouth; drooling; change in behavior; and depression. Prevention and treatment start with a dental exam, and may include a professional dental cleaning under carefully monitored anesthesia. We'll also provide antibiotics and pain medications if needed. By reducing the risk of periodontal disease, your pets can live longer and healthier lives. Call us today to make an appointment; your pet is counting on you for dental care to stay health and happy!

Pet Walk  2011

Thanks to all our generous clients and corporate sponsors who helped Dr. Bishop and Dr. LoPiccolo to raise over $1400 for the Hinsdale Humane Society's 22nd Annual Pet Walk. In addition to being pet walk participants and volunteers, the doctors at WillowGrove Pet Clinic were proud to be a sponsor of the event.   

The Hinsdale Humane Society is a nonprofit organization that relies heavily on this fundraising event. Without pet walk pledges and other private donations, they would be unable to offer food, shelter, and adoption services to the hundreds of animals that come through their doors each year. 

The Pet Walk is just one of the many ways we support this exceptional organization. On a weekly basis, Dr. Bishop volunteers at the shelter by providing physical exams and developing therapeutic plans for all the ill animals in the shelter population and foster homes. In addition to Dr. Bishop offering his time and talent at the shelter, both doctors also perform surgeries, administer vaccines, and dispense needed medications for shelter animals at our clinic.  Dr. LoPiccolo has recently joined the Hinsdale Humane Society's Board of Directors; and serves on their Operations and Development committees. 

We thank you for being part of our clinic community dedicated to improving health and saving lives of animals in need.

We received the CHECKBOOK’s top rating for quality when compared to 220 Chicago area veterinarians, for scoring highest on a system they devised to evaluate the veterinary service field. 

CHECKBOOK magazine surveyed Chicago CHECKBOOK and Consumer Reports subscribers and asked them to rate the vets they had used on variable aspects of care and service. 82% of our practice’s customers surveyed rated us as “superior” for apparent competence and thoroughness, and giving prevention and self-help advice. More than 90% of customers surveyed rated us as “superior” for arranging to see you quickly, giving helpful advice by phone, maintaining a pleasant office and staff, and spending enough time with you. 100% of our practice’s customers surveyed rated us as “superior” for listening to you, keeping down waiting time, and overall care and advice. 

We are pleased to receive such high marks, and encourage all our clients to complete a client satisfaction survey available on this website, so we can continue to strive to meet your needs.

OBESITY IN CATS Dr. Rebecca Remillard Nutrition OVERVIEW Obesity is defined as the excessive accumulation of body fat. At least 25 percent of all cats are considered obese or are likely to become obese. It is the most common nutrition-related health condition in cats in our society. The primary causes of obesity are overeating and lack of exercise. When regular caloric intake exceeds the energy burned, the excess is stored as fat.
