Lisle Animal Clinic

Absolutely loved the care and services at Lisle Animal Clinic. I walked in today, which Dr. Sedlacek happened to be out of the office, but the covering Veterinarian was so patient and nice! She took her time to check up on my cat Whiskey and thoroughly explained his condition. In addition, prices were very reasonable and budget friendly for this college student! Will definitely come back.

My White German Shepherd Dog Starr was comfortable at the office and Dr. S. is very caring and compassionate and took the time to make sure I understood all of the recommendations for my dog’s treatment. The fees are quite a lot more reasonable than my last veterinarian as well. I met Dr. S and his team a year and a half ago when I did the photography for their website. I was very impressed. My vet moved away and there was never any question as to where we would go to get care for our dog. I highly recommend that you bring your pets to Dr. S!

Dr. Sedlacek is the best! Super friendly and caring. Treated my dog with so much respect and care, he did not push any unnecessary treatment or give a guilt trip. Instead we came up with a plan to get my dog healthy! Great staff all around, so excited I found this place! I would highly recommend this clinic and an extra bonus is that there’s no waiting around for your number, you schedule your appointment!

I came in with my 9 yr old mutt after traveling 2 days from Austin TX. Buddy had a rough go of the move so I wanted to make sure he was healthy. It’s a small family owned clinic. They took me in right away. Dr. Sedlacek was super nice, thorough, and kind. They gave me free treats and didn’t even charge me because it was my first visit and because I looked like a paranoid dog dad.

We have been with Dr. Sedlacek and staff for over 8 years now. We’ve now had 4 dogs treated there. Both the doctor and the staff are excellent. Dr. Sedlacek is thorough, professional and very kind. It’s obvious that the staff truly love animals.
Both of our aging pups need a lot of special care, medication and testing. The doctor did not put our animals through any unnecessary testing or medications like some practices will do just to up the costs. The doctor very knowledgeable and up to date on treatments and the staff is well connected when/​if the time comes for specialists.

Pretty good price is fair no problems so far. Time will tell if they pan out to be our full time vets or not.

There is nothing better than knowing your pet and you are cared for at a difficult time. I cannot say enough about how the staff handled our situation. If there were a 10 star, I would give them that. Highly recommended.

We have been going to Lisle Animal Clinic for 40+ years. They have treated 5 of our
dogs in that time. Dr. Sedlacek is so calming, compassionate and knowledgeable.
My dog actually gets so excited when going to the vet and is so happy to see the doctor. The staff is welcoming and helpful. I have had to go to other vets when Lisle Animal Clinic is closed and do not feel the same personal care and warmth to my pet.
I recommend them highly and wouldn’t think of going anywhere else.

UPDATE: My dog, Snowball, whom they clearly knew was older and had the medical records plenty of time in advance to review them, gave her a Distemper/​Parvo Complex vaccination and Bordetella. What appeared to be a mild reaction turned into a severe full blown allergic emergency, so much that my dog wouldn’t stop vomiting and was lethargic, wouldn’t eat, shaking hind legs, and developed hives all around. This persisted for over 24 hours until I had to take her to Elmhurst Animal Hospital and pay an additional $ 204.00 for an emergency visit and shots because the vet didn’t advise me otherwise these vaccinations may not be a good idea for an older dog.
Avoid these guys, do not be fooled by the cost. You can get cheap vaccinations elsewhere. Unbelievable. I’m literally at a loss for words. I intend on calling tomorrow to call them out on what a ridiculous practice they are and what a terrible judgment call they made.

I have used the Lisle Animal Clinic for over twenty five years — and my mother and father used them before that. Dr Sedlacek has taken care of our very adored and special Great Pryreenes as well as all of our cats. I cannot even begin to describe the level of care my animals have received. Everyone of them has been treated with professionalism, tenderness, compassion and empathy. I could not recommend this veterinary practice with more confidence.

Dogs never lie about their feelings, and you can’t fool them. Whenever I asked my Golden Retriever, Bailey, «Do you want to go see the doctor?», he would very excitedly race to the door waiting for it to open so he could get in the car. Since I live a good distance away from the clinic, once I turned onto Ogden Avenue from Route 53, Bailey would start yipping happily because he knew we were getting close, and he would be able to see his friend, Dr. Sedlacek. I know I can recommend Dr. S. as a vet, but he can get no higher recommendation than from my dog, Bailey who could barely contain himself in the waiting room, impatiently waiting his turn, «waiting to see the doc.» Being an incredibly smart dog, if he thought Dr. Sedlacek was taking too long, he would give a few loud barks every few minutes to hurry the doctor along. And when Dr. S. started to come down the hall toward the waiting room, Bailey would jump up and greet him as if he was his long lost friend. No, dogs can’t hide their true feelings. They can truly sense good people. Dr. Sedlacek is one of the greatest vets. He took care of my Bailey from puppyhood to old age. In his later years, when Bailey started having seizures and ended up in the overnight hospital, we had to stop at the vet’s office after his overnight stay. Bailey couldn’t walk after the seizures. Yet when we got into the parking lot about an hour before the clinic opened, I opened the back door to go sit with my dog and Bailey jumped out and landed smack flat on the blacktop. He was too heavy for me to lift him back into the car so Bailey and I just sat on the blacktop waiting for the office to be open. Thirty minutes before the office would actually be open, Dr. Sedlacek came out with a stretcher, and we carried Bailey into an exam room. Actions speak louder than words, and that action is just one of too many to count that shows how compassionate and caring a human being Dr. S. truly is. My next puppy will be very lucky to have Dr. S. as his vet. He is the best vet around. Dogs can sense a good and caring person & that person is Dr. Sedlacek. His office staff is also always caring, kind, compassionate, and helpful. You can’t go wrong if you go to the Lisle Animal Clinic.

Over five years I have been in Lisle and I love Dr. Sedlacek. Not only has he helped both my lab and beagle with annual check ups, he has called to check on my beagle after a scare at the emergency room vet to give me an update on what I need to look for to monitor the progress of improvement in my pet. Not only is Dr. Sedlacek caring for the pets, he also has compassion for the pet parents. His pricing is great, is not insanely outrageous, and they also have boarding. I have boarded our dogs here over these five years too and the dogs are never sick or unhappy when I pick them up. The receptionist is very friendly as well and I would recommend this vet to anyone in the area.

When we moved here 14 years ago I went from vet to vet… no one wanted to treat my 100 lb Rottweiler unless I sedated him first. I met people from Recycled Rotts at a PetsMart adoption function. I described my problem with finding a vet for my Rott and was told about Lisle Animal Clinic. ALL my dogs since then have gone to Lisle Animal Clinic! I trust them 110% with my babies. Dr. Sedlacek is kind and gentle. He thoroughly explains everything and anything you ever want to know. The staff (Heather, JoAnn and Judy) are loyal, highly dedicated and have been there a long time! There is a lot to be said when the support staff remains in one place that long. They are THAT good at what they do! They are ALL truly compassionate people that will care for your pet, regardless of species or breed. If I EVER go somewhere else, it’s because of an emergency after clinic hours OR Dr. Sedlacek gave a referral to a specialist.
PAWS DOWN… Lisle Animal Clinic is the place to go!
Rating: 1 – 5 (5 is highest) FIVE TAILS UP!

By far the WORST VET EVER! I’m hoping that someone over there will see this review and it will knock some sense into them. Now I’m not talking about 1 incident, not 2, 5 total!!! I stopped going there but others who have gone have also complained and will also not be going back there ever again. When I was there the front desk lady was so rude I almost walked out but I needed help getting a tic off my dog. The vet came out and was less then thrilled to help me. He made me feel uncomfortable and that I was wasting his time. Now, my Uncle went in there this past week to have his dog looked at, he was short on money (um Christmas time? Recession?) He refused to even help my Uncle and his dog. He wouldn’t even continue conversation because my uncle couldn’t pay him in full (he was going to negotiate payments). So my Uncle returned home today to find his dog dead. I told him he should have went somewhere else! I feel that to be a vet you need to not only have compassion for animals but for people too because it is the people you have to go through t to help the animal! He has neither! Please, do not go here. If you love your animal you should take them somewhere else. Banfield at Petsmart have been good to us and the Naperville animal clinic on Ogden is good too!
