This gorgeous gal Diva is making sure Dr. Main accurately documents her record! She wants it noted just how adorable she is...........
Thanks to one of our wonderful clients who heard meows coming from the sewer, our team worked together using food, boxes, tennis balls, videos of other cats meows and strength to move manhole covers in order to rescue this little cutie! We even had Dr Main outside putting the manhole covers back on! Great job WSVH Team!
Too cute for words.....
DRIVE-BY for DR VIDT CANCELED!
Rain, Rain go away! Due to the risk of thunderstorms this afternoon, we have to reschedule our drive-by celebration for Dr Vidt. Thank you for all the wonderful comments and well wishes you’re all very kind! ❤️
DRIVE-BY CANCELED FOR TODAY DUE TO WEATHER.
Well look at these two growing up! This is why we love why we do, we get to watch your fur babies grow along with you!
Welcome to our practice Ghost and Comet! We are happy that you feel so relaxed! Our Fear Free goal is to make all of our patients feel safe and loved while receiving the best medical care around!
Today is Global Cat Day, a special occasion devoted to unowned, free-roaming “community” cats. These cats often get a bad rap but it’s important to understand that these cats aren’t so different from our beloved pets. As a matter of fact, many are living on the streets as a result of being abandoned by their families.
We've included some tips to help manage and care for the community cats in your neighborhood.
Helping these cats starts by being a responsible guardian! Spay/neuter your own cat and keep them indoors.
* In just seven years, a single pair of cats and their offspring could produce a staggering total of 420,000 kittens! #VCApets

Hi Baxter! You are about the handsomest boxer mix ever. 🥰 Just fill out an online application and call 630-323-5630 to meet this dashing fella.
How sweet is our team? Please know that when your pet is in our care, we are giving them the best medical care with tons of love!
Meet Arvin! He's smart, he’s handsome, and he’s currently available for adoption at PAWS Chicago.
Even though WE know how great he is, he’s just not confident in himself in new situations and needs a hand finding the perfect family.
Arvin’s one of a handful of pets at PAWS Chicago looking for a special home! Each week, we’ll share an adoptable dog or cat who’s been a little overlooked but doesn’t deserve to be forgotten - because harder to home doesn’t mean harder to love. Arvin would love to find a family that:
🐶: Has a big, fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood.
🐶: Follows a regular routine.
🐶: Has no kids or kids 12+.
🐶: Has no pets or has a big, energetic dog that Arvin can play with!
When you adopt through PAWS Chicago, you’ll receive a VCA Healthy Start Certificate, giving you a free visit with a veterinarian within 14 days of adoption and covering the cost of illness in the first two weeks of adoption (up to $500).
Learn more about Arvin and the PAWS Chicago Virtual Adoption Process at pawschicago.org/adopt

We know you’re so excited to go on some autumn nature walks with your dog, but for this #FallSafetyTip, make sure you watch out for snakes, some of which can be venomous! They’re preparing for hibernation and may be a little crankier if disturbed by a curious pet! 🐍
When walking or hiking, if something happens to your pet, be sure to contact your veterinarian as soon as possible. #VCApets
Dr Zary is an excellent veterinarian! Along with Veterinary Technician Marie, he successfully performed a C-Section! We are pleased to report mama and babies are doing well! 😂

Happy Halloween from our awesome team! Enjoy this beautiful day! Stay safe, we care about you!

Well, Louise was a bit wiggly today for her nail trim, so Melanie, one of our awesome Veterinary Technicians provided the perfect Fear Free distraction! Easy peasy after that! In fact, we had to let her finish before bringing her back out to her family!
This is Pono. Enough said.
Except we do need a shout out to two of our AMAZING techs, Leanna and Jessica!
Smile.
Hey, great news! Let’s make sure we have your cell phone number! We can text your appointment reminders, your pets records, photos of your pets when they’re with us and much more! Ask a WSVH team member today!
We understand that it’s difficult to wait outside during your pets exam, but rest assured that your pet is not only receiving the best medical care, but they’re also receiving lots of love and attention! Sometimes even a massage!
Need a smile? Need a hug? Wizard can help with that!
We just couldn’t get enough of this adorable bundle of love! Ivy came in for a visit today and charmed her way around the hospital!

Covid stress relief! More antics to come! Dr Zary and Marie make a great team!
Once again Dr. Main has made the Holiday Season special for his team, even during this difficult and unusual time.
Every year Dr. Main hand writes Holiday cards to each team member and personally wraps each gift- even as we have grown to over 40 team members. He begins this process early and puts so much thought and care into each and every person in order to let them know how valuable they are to the team!
Happy Holidays!
Happy New Year! It’s been a tough year for everyone. Dr. Main took care to provide his team with a safe environment in order to provide excellent medical care for our patients. Our team worked extremely hard and we couldn’t be more proud!
Here’s a couple of events (social distanced and masked) arranged in December, thanks to Dr Main! Hot chocolate and outside to view Jupiter and Saturn align, and @andrew Anderson, owner of Enso Health and Fitness to lead the team in stretches and a few boxing moves!
More 2020 WSVH Team photos and videos to come as we look forward to a great and healthy 2021!
