Chicago, United States Mid North Animal Hospital Full time

About
Mid North Animal Hospital has been proudly serving the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago, IL, since 1973. We are honored to have been trusted to care for our community’s pets and committed to providing the highest quality veterinary care possible throughout your companion’s lifetime.
​​​​​​​
We understand the special role your pet plays in your family and strive to make sure that you are an active partner in your pet’s healthcare choices. Our state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and experienced veterinarians help us ensure that no matter what may happen, your pet will receive superior care. Our facility includes an extensive in-house laboratory, a fully stocked pharmacy for your convenience, an in-hospital surgical suite, digital X-rays, and comfortable exam rooms. We have strong relationships with specialists and can refer our patients to the experts they need for complex health issues or specialized procedures.

Since 2000, Mid North Animal Hospital has been accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), an achievement shared by only 12% of animal hospitals in North America. As proud Champions for Excellent Care, we adhere to over 900 standards of care and are evaluated every three years to make sure we continue to provide the best care possible to you and your pet. In 2015, we also received Silver Certification as a Cat-Friendly Practice through the American Association of Feline Practitioners.

Mid North Animal Hospital has always been a cat-friendly practice; however, our perceptions and our behavioral and medical knowledge have changed dramatically over the last 15-20 years. Our highly trained staff is aware of your kitty’s special needs and our goal is to provide them the highest level of care and compassion possible.

In 2016, our veterinarians, manager, and many of our staff became Fear Free Certified. The Fear Free mission is to prevent and alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in pets by inspiring and educating the people who care for them. We’re proud that our team members are evolving with veterinary medicine and are committed to looking after your pet’s physical and emotional well-being. We take the “pet” out of “petrified” and put the “treat” in treatment
