Animal Advocate Pet Hospital is a new practice located in the exciting West Loop of Chicago. We believe in helping pets and the people who care about them through education, streamlined processes, and fun. Our team's mission is to keep the balance between pets, clients, and ourselves as in our experience usually one of those three get the short end. That short end historically has been the caregivers (veterinarians, technicians, assistants, etc.) but we have found a way to keep the balance. Pet Care, Client Care and Self-Care are ALL possible at the same time.
