Veterinary Care

Burnham Park Animal Hospital is a well-established, full-service, small animal veterinary hospital providing comprehensive medical, surgical and dental care. The hospital was established in 1994 by Dr Lawrence M Fox, a native of the South Side, and Dr JB Bruederle. It is located in the building which formerly served as the main Chicago Post Office. Our practice is an AAHA-accredited hospital. AAHA is the only organization that evaluates and accredits animal hospitals throughout the U.S. & Canada. AAHA-accredited hospitals adhere to the highest-quality standards possible, which helps ensure the best care for your pet. Burnham Park Animal Hospital is one of only approximately 3,000 AAHA practices in North America.

We provide a broad spectrum of diagnostic procedures through in-house testing and the use of external laboratories. We also work closely with local practices when special diagnostic procedures are required. The facility includes a well-stocked pharmacy, in-hospital surgery suite, in-house x-ray capabilities, ultrasound, a closely supervised hospitalization area, and indoor boarding kennels with outdoor walking areas.

At Burnham Park Animal Hospital we strive to offer not only sound advice, but also optimal veterinary care, thus allowing you the enjoyment of your companion for a maximum number of years. Our job is not only to treat your pet when he or she isn’t feeling well, but also to help you learn how to keep your best friend happy and healthy. Read more

    I was visiting from California, and my labradoodle got an ear infection. I called, and they were able to fit me in. Everyone from the reception to the doctor was wonderful. Gentle, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain things and show me how to administer the medicine. I am totally impressed with their care!

    I cannot recommend this place enough! I've brought my beloved cat here twice now....once for a mass on her stomach that ended up being scar tissue from her spay, and this time for her upper respiratory infection. They are so kind and patient with both nervous kitty and nervous mommy. They discuss treatment options and finances and choose the best option for you. Wonderful people! Take your pets there and you'll have a great experience!

    I started going to Burnham Park Animal Hospital in 2013. They have the kindest vets and staff, everyone is very helpful. I had to put my dog down and Dr. Tara Clack was very supportive throughout the entire process. I have since moved from the South Loop area however still travel South to Burnham for my other pets. Dr. Miller is very helpful and friendly as well. They also go over all charges with you in detail, and do not make you feel nickle and dimed or pressured. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a new vet in the area.

    I have been bringing my dogs, cat, rabbits to this vet for over 20 years. Dr. B is the best vet and I trust him with my pets. He has the most advanced knowledge in all areas and I derive over an hour to see him with my dogs. When he was out recovering from an injury I had to use other vets and they didn't come close to his level of ability.

    I can't say enough wonderful things about this place. My dog Logan had been going there for 12+ years and all the staff is just fantastic. When the day came to say goodbye to my sweetheart Logan, Dr. Miller was so compassionate with what we were going through. He went out of his way on one of the hardest days of my life. Thank you to everyone at Burnham for the kindness, they truly are the best!
