Reviews of SportsVet Animal Medical Center (Veterinarian)

tina seifert

Dr Jacobs and his staff were terrific and they took my feelings to heart and treated Ellie Mae as if she was their own. I wish we lived closer so Ellie could visit them as their regular vet that is how much we love Dr Jacobs and their staff. Keep up the good work

Larry Brown

What can I say sports vet are without any doubt the greatest..jack our fantastic golden retriever had knee surgery approx a year ago Dr Jacobs was caring and addressed all of our questions ,never in a hurry . Surgery went along without any problems. Jack, who is now 10, and Sheryl and myself are forever grateful to Dr Jacobs and his staff...

Dianne McDole

Absolutely amazing Animal Hospital. We were traveling on I74 when our dog took sick. I found SportsVet on Google and gave them a call. They had us bring our boy in right away. We pulled up to an immaculate facility and were welcomed by the absolutely most friendly staff you could ever imagine. The facility was SPOTLESS, spacious, modern and just plain beautiful. I immediately felt comfortable. The vet tech and vet listened to our concerns and took great care of our fur baby. They got him the the treatments he needed and sent us home with a special diet as well as follow-up medications and detailed instructions. Even with them welcoming us in as an emergency patient, they didn't charge as an ear and a tail, either. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Our sweet boy is now resting comfortably in the car as we make our way to our next destination. You are truly are angels!

Kristoper Clark

I would highly recommend this place. The staff is beyond friendly, and extremely professional. I came in with all kinds of questions and left with all of them answered. I was even lucky enough to have one of the staff members take some pictures of my puppy that looked professionally done! My puppy and I love the place.

Kimberly Fletcher

My husband and I were new to the area and when our cat hurt her foot and she was screaming in pain this was the first place we founf online. They were wonderful. Our cat was not easy to deal with due to the pain and confusion they were sweet to her anyway and understanding and made us feel comfortable. We would go to the Dr. regularly if she were a regular vet!

Kevin Cahill

Open 24/7 and their rates are absolutely reasonable. I've gone in with cats with almost zero notice and was seen by a vet tech within 30 minutes and the vet in less than an hour. Once on a late Sunday night! Top notch facilities also.

Deborah Bodony

My dog and I had an excellent experience at Sportsvet. She had unfortunately eaten something she shouldn’t have, and we needed to visit the office after the regular business hours. From the first person I talked to on the phone all the way through the visit to paying at the end, everyone was kind, caring, and efficient. The bill was very reasonable especially considering it was late in the evening. I was very impressed, and my dog was very well cared for.

Suzanne Cinnamon

We are so happy with SportsVet! Everyone is so personable from the front desk staff to the behind the scenes workers and Dr. Jacobs. Best decision we've made for our puppies and highly recommend them.

Connie Brunkow

I had an excellent experience here. My racing dog needed treatment for an injured toe and she got the best care. i anticipate she will make a complete recovery and race successfully again. Thanks to all!

Jake Sanders

SportsVet is an incredible clinic. The new facility is top-notch and pet care is unprecedented. We've seen both Dr. Jacobs and Dr. Dillon, and they are both amazing, taking the time to sit down with you and really explain and inform you on any questions that you may have. Also, Ashley H. is an absolute delight and extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We've had nothing but a great experience with the rest of the staff as well! Highly recommended!

Will Barbour

I was referred to SportsVet by a friend when I adopted my dog. They have been very helpful and patient in answering all of my questions ever since then. The new facility is extremely nice and I can get appointments quickly. My dog isn't the biggest fan of going to the vet and I always feel a bit bad for his less than ideal behavior, but everyone is very reassuring that he's not too much trouble. I also get my dog's medication from SportsVet - I'm sure I could find it for a bit less from some website, but I like knowing that it's genuine medication and that I'm getting the correct dosage from an actual vet (also, they know about the promotions run by the drug companies to save me as much as possible).

Katherine Moffett

Dr. Dillon is great to work with. She is excellent at working with me on treatment for my little boy that has seizures and reacts to most of the anti-seizure medication.

Molly Hatfield

I adopted a kitten from someone I know, and the day I was supposed to pick him up I found out that his mom had been taken to the vet and had fleas and a tapeworm. This is the first pet I have ever owned, so naturally I panicked a bit, and called the office for advice. I was not established yet, but had an appointment to become so in a couple of weeks, but that did not matter to them. I was told to bring him in after I picked him up and they would check him out to see what his treatment options were, if he was big enough for flea medicines. They took their time answering all of the questions a first time pet mom has, and really put my mind at ease. Good news, he was big enough for flea and tapeworm medicine.

Michael Gammon

Excellent vet! Dr. Turek is awesome. I knew she was the real deal when she sat right down on the floor with our new puppy. The vet tech sat down with her and they basically played with her while giving an exam and talking with us. Super down to earth about food and training. Just excellent animal people all around--that goes for everyone I've met there. And this place is a 24/7 clinic with a medical facility that feels like a modern human clinic. We get lab results within hours on a weekend. I've never had a vet experience like this but I would say SportsVet should set the standard.

Kirsten Kuo

I have been so happy with the care that my dogs receive here. Everyone is friendly and so helpful. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a vet.

James Brougher

We were very pleased with the Clinic and the care and advice they provided for our dog. The veterinarian even made a call three days later as a follow-up to see how her "patient" was doing.

Joyce Rutledge

Dr. Susie Hites is the best chiropractor/vet that you will find! She’s worked on several of my dogs with amazing results. Dr. Hites listens, observes, and is very thorough in her interactions with the animal client as well as its owner. I can’t say enough glowing praises about Dr. Hites. This area is so very fortunate to have her and her expertise. My friends out of this area are so envious. Sportsvet AMC is a beautiful facility, but Dr. Hites is the reason I bring my dogs there.

Keri Powell

Dr. Jacobs and his staff are the BEST! Won't take my pets to anyone else.

keiatoly molina

Went in about 2 hours ago do to the fact that my dog got hit by a car and needed to be seen as soon as possible! My dog is having a lot of trouble walking and he has multiple scars on his left foot, right foot, mouth, and face. He isn't good and his left leg is only getting worst! The left leg is swollen and I personally think it got ran over by the wheel of the car when he got hit! I didn't know where else to go so I choose to come here sense it's open 24 hours on the weekend. I went in with my pitbull and the front desk lady was already afraid of him. He wasn't doing anything but you could see she wasn't trying to get near him because she wouldn't even help me out him on the scale! I don't blame her I didn't want her help either because I know my dog and he would have probably got aggressive if she would have laid a hand on him! After that I went in the room and my big baby was getting upset in that little room, he wasn't feeling good he's still in pain and they took forever! As I'm waiting for the doctor to come in the room and take a look on my dog, she also gets surprised at the fact that my dogs a pitbull she isn't trying to get near him and she even told me to push him back so he couldn't get near her. My dog is aggressive so again I don't blame her either. My dog doesn't even get physically checked. All the doctor does is look at him from a distance and tells me that his leg could just be swollen or fracture as if I didn't know that already. She only told me stuff I already knew but then again she didn't even want to get near him. If I'm paying for him to get "examined" the lady should taken a closer look at him, touch him or do what she had to so he could get the equal check up as any other dog would. I paid 88 dollars for that check up that was done about 5 feet away from my dog. My dog didnt get his scars cleaned or bandaged which is one of the other reasons why I don't think I should have paid. The doctor also said she couldn't do anything. She didn't give me any options like x rays or anything because she said she needed a bigger person do to what kind of dog it was! My dog is so loving and is honestly only a big baby!! I am devastated because I don't know where to go. NEVER AGAIN WILL I GO INTO THAT PLACE AGAIN!! I've never been treated so poorly!

wilfred thebodeau

Thank you for taking care of Bailey and doing a great job with her spay. You are very affordable and took excellent care of her and she will be coming back to you for her annual checkups for sure.

Vickie Goodling

Took my dog in after hours for hives and ear problem. They told me initial cost would be 75.00. No problem with that But when my dog wasn't even approached for exam, that's when it became a problem. Nobody came within 3 feet of him. They looked and prescribed. These are people that deal with animals every day and my dog growls and they stay back. Very disappointed with visit, not to mention it cost 160.00 by the time we left.

Yiyue Sun

Worst service ever. No patience at all. Very rude to both the little ones and customers. When we asked them questions, they replied very impatiently and even rolled their eyes. If they left the room, they just slap the door loudly. Fee is ridiculously high while their skill is a joke. They don’t even use lubricating oil while taking temperature for the little ones. When we want some further explanation, they said the only way is to do the “700 dollar service”, which was completely unnecessary and a pure suffering for our baby in this case. If you love your baby just don’t take them there.

Brianna Nelson

Chose to go to sportsvet because of a coworkers recommendation and I couldn’t have been happier with the facility and the services they provided. My very active four year old fur child tore his CCL and we chose the TPLO surgery as it was the most definitive surgery to get him as close to his former state. The surgery went well and because we felt so comfortable with the workers and the facility, we decided to do water therapy through them as well. I feel it’s important to share that we live an hour and twenty minutes away, but that is how important it was that we find great providers for such a crucial surgery and recovery. During the course of therapy, sportsvet worked with our schedules and even fit us in at times with late notice. Grateful to share that we have almost reached the end of the recovery phase and Brutus is doing so great. I highly recommend sportsvet if your dog is in need of surgery.

Bob Lindquist

We've had several dogs of the family who've been Sports Vet patients, including the latest pups - see the photo of Dr. Jacobs holding both Declan and Finley (the golden retrievers). Not only do Dr. Jacobs and the entire staff provide top-notch care, they are genuine animal lovers who always go the extra mile to make pets and owners comfortable. It's a happy place to visit.

Abi Frields

Every single time I've gone I've had exceptional customer service and amazing care for my pup! He has hear failure that went undiagnosed by our last vet and he was getting very sick. They were able to immediately identify what was going on and get him started on the right medications. He's had a few trips to convenient care because of exacerbations and every single doctor we've seen has been incredible. Highly recommend!

Jenna Frye

I went to SportsVet for a second opinion after repeat visits with no solution at my original vet. Dr. Dillon diagnosed my dog immediately and correctly. He's not in treatment for his disease. I'm so grateful for the efficient, informative, and supportive staff at SportsVet. We were able to get my dog on the right path quickly, with thoughtful and thorough examination and diagnosis. One thing that I love so much is they told me how much everything would cost along the way so that I could make informed decisions about the care that my dog needs. I have recommended them to all of my friends.

Mary Pavilon

As a new client at the SportsVet Animal Medical Center, I believe I have found a new family! Katie was considerate, compassionate, and caring. She seemed to understand the anxiety a nervous "mom" was experiencing as I left my precious family member in the care of others. Katie's emails and phone calls to reassure me that my dog was in good hands was greatly appreciated. Emily was very knowledgeable and an expert in explaining details of the procedure in a way that was understandable. Bri was respectful and kind as she helped escort my three dogs to the car. Dr. Jacobs was understanding, engaging and nurturing. Kind, gentle and genuinely interested in the care and treatment of animals. Dedicated to serving his clients and providing follow up calls after a procedure. I truly trust the extremely competent and knowledgeable staff at SportsVet and look forward to Dr. Jacobs providing future health care needs for my dogs. In my opinion, SportsVet provides a totally positive, professional and personal experience from the moment you walk in the door to the time you leave.

Allan Chase

Very professional & caring group. All of our experiences have been positive.

Taylor Morrison

This place is a joke! I took my 5 1/2 year old husky in because she wasn't her self. When we got there they told me she would have to stay over night so they could do observations. $700 later they said she was acting brand new that night, she wasn't because when i got her into the car she started doing the same thing. I took her to her usual vet later that day because something didn't feel right. I wasn't in the doctors office 5 mins before they said she needs surgery. They had to do emergency surgery on her because he uterus was infected. If I wouldn't of got her in then she would of died. These people could of fixed my baby but instead they charged me a ridiculous amount and would of let her die.

Kristen Braitkrus

We have had nothing short of excellent care from everyone at SportsVet Animal Medical Center. From reception, to technician, to doctor - everyone at SportsVet makes you feel like a VIP and gives you their absolute best. The front desk staff has gone above and beyond to take care of us - even researching where to get certain kinds of drugs for our cat, Jackson. The technicians are always kind and knowledgeable when we bring our cats in for laser therapy. Dr. Hites is phenomenal and every time we visit with her we are in awe of her skills, knowledge, and compassion. The only way I can describe our experience with SportsVet is that they make us feel like we are family. Also, the price is extraordinarily reasonable given the quality of care we have received. We highly recommend this practice if you want excellent, compassionate care for your furbaby.

Diane

We went to a different vet for years, saw my great Dane since he was tiny n that vet never noticed symptoms of a disease he has. Less than 10 minutes with Dr. Dillon and a colleague and he was diagnosed properly! They are truly amazing and really care about the animals that come into their office. We now take all three of our animals there and will never go anywhere else.

Susan Ratcliffe

We just completed our puppy visits and had a wonderful visit at the doggie daycare facility. When you walk in you are greeted by Kendall's smiling face and a great waiting area. Dr. Dillon and her team are so skilled our puppy didn't even know he was being examined. He thought it was play time! Kendall was super helpful in selecting just the right heart worm and flea/tick treatments for our little guy. Thank you everyone!

Meagan Tipton

My dog is a patient at SportsVet, and I could not be any happier with the care that she receives there. Not only is Dr. Jacobs wonderful with my dog during checkups, but she also gets boarded at SportsVet when my family has to be out of town. My family recently went on vacation and my dog had to be boarded for two weeks. Katie was absolutely wonderful with sending email updates and photos of my girl. I know that my dog got the best care that we possibly could have asked for while we were gone, and that is such a sigh of relief!

Jodi Trussel

I first went to SPORTSVET about a month ago when my husky pup ate a battery on a Sunday. They told me to bring her right in and they were able to give her meds and she was feeling better in a day, she is also pretty and timid so they gave her her space and worked with her. The next experience I had was last week. My 11 month old German Shepherd had been sick for two weeks and my regular vet kept saying it was just a viral infection he would be fine and giving anti nausea meds. He was still not better at all I knew something else was wrong and took him to SPORTSVET. He was extremely attached to me and not feeling good at all they were so gentle and sweet with him. He ended up being blind in his left eye and had something neurological wrong so they referred us to U of I which is what a good vet does when they can’t figure it out. He needed an mri but ended up getting to and before he could get it and we went back to SPORTSVET to say goodbye to him. They were completely professional and compassionate about the process and gave us as much time as we needed with our sweet boy. They are giving us a clay paw print of us and just days after we received a handwritten card in the mail. My animals will never go anywhere else again!!

Valerie Pyle

I started going to Sports Vet a few years ago when one of my barn cats needed a lump removed. The staff at Sports Vet was so customer service oriented and accommodating to my needs, I moved all 5 of my pets' records over and never looked back. Since then, they have continued to provide amazing customer service and veterinary care for my menagerie.

AlteranTech

I went here late at night with my sick cat, Salem. He had been throwing up really bad for days and they helped him beautifully. They were extremely kind and gentle with him and I've never seen him so at ease at a vets office. They tested everything they could and couldn't find anything wrong with him except high potassium, but they gave him fluids, anti nausea meds, and something to flush out some of the potassium. He's great now. Back to his old self! I'm under the impression that he ate something he shouldn't have. Naughty kitty!

EJ Glick

The service has always been great and we love the new place!

Aric Homberg

My active 4 year old dog had a torn ligament in his right hind leg. We chose a TPLO to correct it. The staff was very nice and understanding. They were compassionate and answered all of our questions in full with complete patience. What I was most impressed with was the physical therapy. It was in a room with a window, in the front of the building and the staff invited us to observe and even assist. Other facilities that we inquired about did not have the same transparency. Sports Vet kept accurate records and ensured we remained on pace for a full recovery. I would recommend Sports Vet to anyone. It was a bit of a drive for us but our pup has had a full recovery with zero issues.

Darkfyre Algoma

Took Mr. Meowth in for an extra large neck abcess today. Usually can handle on our own. But this was an awfully large one. The folks at Sportvet had it cleared in about an hour and meds to go. Thanks again folks. Whether Awesome Sauces hip or Mr. Meowth's infections these folks aee wonderful!

Isaac Arms

Great care, kind & knowledgeable staff. First-time doggie dad here, but they made me feel like everything was OK! They educated and empowered me in no time flat :)

cody williamson

We went in at 2am to get our 6 month old pitbull checked out as he had been vomiting and had diarrhea with a good amount of blood in it. Our first thought was that he got ahold of something and we were afraid he might have some damage that we could not see. As soon as we walked in, the nurse was rude and pushy. Our puppy was not very excited to get on the scale and as I was trying to get him to stand on there, she picked him up by his leash so by his neck and threw him on the scale, not even asking for our help. We went into the exam room and she asked us some questions about him and did a quick exam. We waited about 10 minutes for the vet to come in and she checked the same things that the nurse did. After that she said that there was nothing noticeable and that he is stable. When we asked her what to do, she kept saying that she didn't know. She gave us the option of blood work and x rays or to give him fluids and anti nausea medice. She kept saying she didn't know what to do and she didn't have a crystal ball to know and have us no opinion whatsoever. We decided on the fluids and medication. Instead of giving him the shot and fluids to absorb in the room with us, she insisted on taking him to the back and doing it without us. We could hear him crying from the other room. We paid and left and everything was normal but as soon as we got home, our puppy could barely walk. He was stumbling terribly as if he was drunk and couldn't even get a drink out of his water bowl without me holding him up. When my boyfriend called to ask what was happening, since they didn't explain any side effects to us, all they could say is that they didn't know why that was happening and to bring him back. We are now sitting here at 5 in the morning waiting for our day vet to open so we can make sure he is okay. Moral of the story is, don't EVER take your animal here. It was the worst service and we paid 200 dollars to have no answer for our puppy.

Wendy Hillertz

Our dogs love going to daycare at SportsVet! And they were well cared for during boarding. The proof is that they are happily exhausted when they get home but always enthusiastic to go back!

Steph Forsythe

We had to stop at SportsVet one night with our very sick cat while traveling from the East Coast for a family funeral. Dr. Jacobs took his time to kindly and compassionately explain our cat's prognosis - something our very expensive vet at home had not truthfully done. Unfortunately, we ended up putting our cat down that night but we are so very thankful for the entire team at SportsVet for their compassion during the entire process. Dr. Jacobs knew that we lived 14 hours away and were not going to become repeat customers, yet he took so much time that night to review our girl's medical records and discuss options with us. He allowed us to take our time saying goodbye and mailed us a very kind card. We highly recommend SportsVet for both their compassion and abilities, especially in emergency situations.

Patty Johnson

My Veterinary Clinic highly recommended SportsVet for my girl's double TPLO surgery. From the moment we walked in, I knew we were in great hands. Dr. Jacobs & his Staff are outstanding. We received wonderful care. Wynnie can not wait to get there for her treadmill therapy, she is completely at ease. SportsVet is a real asset to the Champaign area.

Kristin Cordova

Visited at the new 24/7 facility with SportsVet... beautiful facility, great service, and incredible care of my dog Khloe. She was very sick and I didn't know what was going on with her so took her in immediately. The vets explained everything and all the tests that they were running to figure out what was going on with her and ensured she had great care and that I understood everything. Definitely my new go to for any urgent or emergency care for Khloe!

Charnice R

Absolutely amazing staff; very friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with pets. Highly accommodating to pet's needs and communicates well with owners. My 4 year old GSD is often uneasy around strangers but tends to be more accepting and relaxed (a bit curious) when visiting the clinic. I have and will continue to recommend SportsVet to pet owners!

Corbyn

When our cat passed away, they were very good about helping us with the grieving and options for him. We were thinking about switching vets because they’re much closer than our current vet. However, they quoted over $400 for a simple neuter for my 25 pound, 8 month old dog! That’s completely outrageous. HIGH range is usually $250 in major cities. Around $100 is average. I’m not asking for them to gold plate him, for crying out loud. I’d hate to ask what their spay fee is. It’s possible they’re great vets, but that’s entirely out of the price range of the average person, especially if their other fees are similarly ridiculous.

Julia Boland

At first they were very helpful but then I feel like they just didn’t care about following up and Taking care of my dog. Always had an excuse why they didn’t return my calls or do what they said they were going to do for me. Still waiting on some biopsy reports which they were suppose to let me know how long it would take to get the results. That was a week ago. They have to much going on and they are not organized. I will not go back

Kurt Bulicek

excellent veterinary care, impressively modern facilities, 24 hr emergency care when needed, available boarding/grooming services, AAHA accredited

Kyle Adams

My wife and I take or dog to SportsVet and we love them. They worked closely with us to help our dog get through food allergies. Also anytime we have questions they are more than willing to work with us in helping us. Would recommend them to everyone.

Jessica Householder

My 42 pound, 6yo FS American Pit Bull Terrier mix had a tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) performed by Dr. Jacobs ~4 months ago and we have had fantastic results. Her other knee is showing no signs of trouble, but I would absolutely return to this clinic in the event that her other knee need surgery. The technicians were excellent as well and friendly, kind, and professional to both myself and my dog, who is reactive and not easy to handle in a veterinary setting. Thank you for helping Addison!

Vicki Mahaffey

My dog had torn his ACL, and the treatments offered by my vet (whom I'd been going to for over 10 years) weren't helping. I was impressed by the clarity and quality of the explanation I got about what was actually happening to his knee, what my options were for addressing it, and what the risks (and costs) of each option were. They also took the time to work with me about scheduling (and to put me on a cancellation list). It seems like a knowledgeable and caring place.

Michael Behrensmeyer

We had an all around great first experience at Dr. Jacob's office....The staff was very friendly and kind. Dr. Jacobs took time to listen to all of our concerns with our new puppy and answered all of our questions. The environment was clean and welcoming. What a great experience....Thank You!!

Sandra Moews Little

The 'staff' at the front were all very friendly, and helpful, we didn't actually meet with any Dr. Sampson was there for a couple shots. Thank You.

Morgan Bonczek

I can't find enough good things to say about Dr. Jacobs and his staff!! They have never failed to provide the highest quality care for all of our animals over the past 7+ years and I don't think I could ever take them any place else! They are always prompt returning phone calls, answering every question we have and, most importantly, the genuinely care about the health, safety and happiness of all our pets. If you are looking for the best vet in town who offers the most up to date services and equipment and the most caring staff, then definitely go to SportsVet!!

Ryan Grimes

I was introduced to Sportsvet by a friend a few years ago. About 3 years ago Dr. Jacobs and his staff performed TPLO surgery on two of my dogs legs. After following the recovery process, as given by Dr. Jacobs, my dog is as good as new!!! Dr. Jacobs was also addressed indigestion problems my dog was faced with. I highly recommend Dr. Jacobs and his staff to anyone looking for a routine veterinarian, or for more complicated issues your animal may be faced with. Dr. Jacobs takes the time needed to provide your animal with the care they deserve.

Trish McMillan

We have been going to Sports Vet since 2009 with our dogs, who have had an a assortment of interesting ailments over the years. Our pets are always handled gently and get delicious treats to help them forget any poking or prodding that may be necessary. Even our sometimes touchy old dog enjoyed his acupuncture treatment, and our fearful dog has been known to give Dr. Jacobs kisses. Great clinic!

mary elisabeth brueckner

I have been going to Sports Vet Animal Center since 2000 Dr. Jacobs and the staff have cared for three of our dogs over the years. Everyone at Sports Vet shares your joy when you bring a new pet home and they share your sorrow when you have to put a beloved pet down. Sports Vet is truly a family to their clients.

Brittany Rouse

We would highly recommend SportsVet and Dr. Jacobs. They always take excellent care of our (crazy) yellow lab, whether he's there for an annual visit, a bath or spending a few nights while we're out of town. We always appreciate their honest feedback, and have found them to be very affordable compared to other vets in town. The staff is so friendly, and always greets us by name. There's a reason our puppy actually looks forward to his vet visit - we're so glad to have found SportsVet!

Sasha Kaplan

This is by far the best vet. I just moved to Chicago and I am so sad I can't take sports vet with me :( when we first took our pup there at 6 weeks they were so amazing with her and we even received a hand written note from the doctor. Their customer service is amazing. Everytime I call they are beyond helpful and give me their most honest help and opinion instead of just telling me what to do that costs more. It is SO refreshing to go to a place that genuinely cares about my baby and will go above and beyond my expectations. They are reasonablely priced and quick with results. Everyone there is nice, happy, and helpful. It makes it worth the 2 hour drive to go back for a visit as long as it's not an emergency. We love sports vet, look no further because this is by far the best vet in IL!

S Jorda

Great staff. And helped me out when I was in a pinch. Thanks so much!

Elizabeth Moscoso Anderson

Dr. Jacobs, the vet technicians, and the reception staff are all amazing and welcoming. They will make you and your pet feel comfortable immediately once you walk in their door! My partner and I are first time kitten owners, and could not be more thrilled about our decision to bring our kittens here. Dr. Jacobs gave thorough answers to our questions, and helpful advice for our kittens. We chose to come here based on recommendations from our co-workers, and the wonderful reviews online. If you choose to go to SportsVet, you will not be disappointed! Their costs are extremely reasonable - this was a concern for us owning two kittens - and it has made our overall pet ownership experience a much better one.

N Carter

New 4 month old puppy. Needed exam, 2nd round of shots, heartworm and chewable tablet for fleas and ticks all for less than $100!

Will Aldridge

Love Sportsvet! Dr. Dillon and the team are fantastic!! We switched from VCA and will never look back. Thanks!

Denise Jayne

I really enjoy the service I receive when I visit SportsVet. Each time, I am greeted by happy people who are quick to check us in. The doctors and techs that work directly with the animals are caring and attentive to my needs and understanding of what is going to take place once I leave my pet in their care. You can tell that they love what they do and want the best for your pet. I always feel confident that we are in good hands when visiting SportsVet.

Sarah Mitsdarfer

My husband and I are from out of town and were visiting family. We unexpectedly had to take our dog to the vet. We were seen very quickly as a walk-in! They treated our dog with great care and attention. They were quick in diagnosing her and getting her appropriate treatment.

Sherri Newman

Dr. Jacobs and his staff are the best! I have been taking my pets there since the beginning and have always had excellent service. All my friends and neighbors with animals also see them. Thank you for always being kind and gentle.

Justin-Mackenzie Neally

We took our 4 year old rescue pup to SportsVet and would highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. Everyone from the staff at the reception desk to the veterinarians themselves were so friendly and personable, to us and our dog! The vets and assistants displayed great bedside manner and really helped our dog to feel at ease during all the exams and procedures, even the uncomfortable things like his nail trimming and ear cleaning. They answered all our questions and didn't make us feel rushed like so many vets do. On top of it all, we felt their prices were very fair and even slightly under most other vets in town. They even offer a first time visit waiver, so you should absolutely give them a try!

Barbara Primmer

Very reasonable for an emergency visit. Everyone was very nice it’s really clean. My babygirl is home and resting comfortably thank to them. Would highly recommend them. Thank you all ♥️

Marylynne Toliver

Just want to add another glowing tribute to Dr Jacobs and the Sports Vet staff. We are owned by an eight year old yellow lab who was having extreme difficulty with mobility due to knee issues. We were referred to Dr Jacobs by another vet. Made an appointment and Elle was examined by Dr Jacobs who explained the cause of her problems. Ultimately she underwent bilateral TPLO surgery which was very successful! The recuperation time is tough on everyone. It is a slow process and, yes, I had many questions. The entire staff, including Dr Jacobs, was very patient answering questions and explaining 'things'. We are so very appreciative of that. Well, the healing process is complete and she runs like the wind again. No limping or pain to be seen. We postponed our Florida vacation until we knew she could run and play in the surf again. She had a wonderful time in September! Very thankful we found Dr Jacobs and Sports Vet!

Everyone at SportsVet Animal Medical Center is just fantastic and they take excellent care of our pets. The vets and techs are patient and thorough, I never feel as though they are rushed. The women at the front desk are saints and are always kind and accommodating when I call and ask things like, "my dog at X, is that a wait it out or bring her in situation?" or "So, do dogs get hemorrhoids? I think we need an appointment." The wait is also always short which I appreciate and they have reasonable hours. We're big fans!

Lilyan Levant

Dr. Jacobs is competent, caring and professional. My dog Miggy loves going to the vet! I am thrilled we found such a high quality Medical Center, in C-U. Another reason, I love this community!

The primary reason I chose SportsVet to have a dental cleaning for my eleven year old, five pound Yorkie, was because of the AAHA accreditation. Dental cleanings for a senior/geriatric small dog with an elevated kidney reading is a huge risk so the trusted veterinarians with certified veterinarian technicians in a modern facility with an on sight laboratory, all of which the AAHA accreditation guarantees, was essential for me. All went very well and I look forward to future visits with my pets.

Something serious had happened to our sweet outside/inside kitty. We brought him in the next morning which happened to be Easter since this was the only place open. Right away we noticed how nice and clean the facility looked. When we got to our room, they were very thorough and gentle with him. Unfortunately they were not able to save our kitty, as he had some major problems from whatever happened to him. They were able to give him a peaceful passing and also gave us a complimentary clay thing with his paw print and name carved into it. They also notified our normal vet of his passing, and yesterday we received a thoughtful card from the dr and vet tech that helped us with the process. It was and still is so hard losing him, but they made that easier. Also, for an “emergent” visit, it wasn’t as expensive As I thought it would be. I highly recommend this place, and the staff that works here. They are definitely in it for the pets

They've been caring for our 9 year old dog since we adopted him at 3 months old. I couldn't be happier with the care he's received. I also boarded him at their new facility. Not only did he have plenty of space (we got the "luxury suite", since he's a large dog) and get some time outside, but for the 1st time ever he didn't come home smelling like a kennel. The facilities are new and immaculate. The staff on both the vet clinic and boarding side are outstanding.

Shelby Nelsen

I was extremely satisfied with my experience here. The staff were incredibly friendly & my little furbaby was completely relaxed. Thank you for the awesome appointment!

Joyce Weakman

Our first introduction to Dr. Hites was here in Bloomington where both of dogs were seeing her for chiropractic sessions. Dr. Hites proved she wasn't just a chiropractor but a fantastic vet. We have gone down to the clinic in Savoy a few times now for various needs and we put 100% of our trust in Dr. Hites and in SportsVet Animal Medical Center. Thank you all ever so much for what you do for our beloved pets.

Madison Puckett

Just going to take a minute to brag about these guys! Sports Vet is literally the BEST vet I have been to ever. They are not only extremely efficient, but they get it right the first time and make sure that you're with them every step of the way. I also have to give the receptionist Kendall 5 stars too, I know its not always easy talking with people all of the time, but you made me feel so welcome and not crazy for having 6 cats! Dr. Dillon, Rachel and Michelle always make me feel so welcome and I know the cats love them too! Thank you for giving me a place to take my babies where I know they will be loved like they are at home, I couldn't ask for a better vet or service.

Cynthia Lebie

Dr Jacobs examined my dog when I suspected she may have a luxating patella. He took his time with me and my dog and confirmed she did have a luxating patella. He went on to explain what stage she was at and what the future might hold and what I could do. I had been directed by my veterinarian to go to the Univ of IL for a consultation but I had heard good things about Sports Vet and knew of Dr Jacobs expertise. I am glad I met with him. The staff is kind and caring. I am strongly considering transferring my dog's records to Sports Vet from the vet clinic I have been with for 17 years -- I feel that good about the staff and my experience. As an update to my review above - I did transfer my dog's records to Sports Vet. The personnel there have continually given her compassionate and knowledgeable care. Whether it is bringing my dog in for just a nail trim or whether it is meeting with Dr Jacobs and his orthopedic assistants everyone has worked to make sure my dog has a positive experience. I could not be more pleased with the care given to me and my dog.

Janice Shipley

So very grateful for their care and compassion as well as skill and expertise. We have older dogs - so, it's critical that they be able to be seen right away when they are sick and just as any pet owner, we want the very best care possible for them. We absolutely feel we get that from SportsVet Animal Medical Center.

Natalie Pennock

Everyone at SportsVet is extremely nice & helpful! They are always so happy to see my pup and they are so good with him and great with offering advice and answering questions. The front desk staff is wonderful and always makes our visit and great one! My pup loves going to the vet!

Linda Steinberg

Awesome! I can not say enough GREAT things about SPORTS VETS. Daisy has gone twice now for a regular appointment and to urgent care. Both doctors were AMAZING!! They did full exams, answered all my questions, and took their time as if we were the only patients. Best part is we now have a treatment plan in place that I understand and I am comfortable with. Great experience and so affordable! Urgent care was only $47 and my appointment today was $35. AMAZING!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!

Sherry Mae

I first took my dog to Sports Vet because he was in pain and needed chiropractic care. The Vet treated him as if he were her own. I continue taking my dogs, there because one is over weight and the Vetr put him on Thyroid meds, which I have been asking other vets to do but always got a no. His is losing weight and feeling much better. These Vets listen to the pets owners because they know you know your animal better than they do. The staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this business to anyone with pets.

Nick Franz

Sports Vet has been absolutely amazing every single time we've been here. The vet techs are always incredibly friendly and helpful, and Dr. Jacobs is unfailingly happy, helpful, and reassuring. I got a puppy a few weeks ago, and everyone at the vet has been so kind and excited to see him that he doesn't even mind vet visits. That doesn't even mention that they're wonderfully efficient, clear, and always happy to help however they can. If you have a question, you can call and get an answer in only a few minutes, and they're just happy to have your business. As a student, their prices are exceptionally reasonable, and I know that my puppy is getting the best vet treatment in town. Seriously: go to Sports Vet. I want them to have a ton of customers, just because I love them so much and want them to do well.

Allison Marie

Although everyone was polite and upfront about the wait time, it did end up taking half a day for my dog to be seen. When we finally were seen the vet spent so little time with us they quickly said her red eyes were allergy related and didn't do much else but look at her eyes and listened to her heart (even though I said she was acting lethargic and not herself). After two days of worsening symptoms, I took her to her regular vet and she is much more sick than the Sportvet doctor said. On top of this, they were pushing "add on" items like a retailer would. It wasn't a terribly expensive visit but considering they didn't help her, it was a waste. Maybe they do a better job when they are better staffed but with my dog's life on the line now, I frankly don't care. I would never go back and recommend others avoid it too. It's like an auto shop that doesn't charge much but doesn't fix your car so you are forced to come back.

Jayna Wood

I recommend ONLY Sports vet with the care of your pets! Sports vet has an amazing staff and a very welcoming environment! They’re loving and very considerate when it comes to my fur babies!! Their prices are very reasonable and Sports vet gives 100% every time they see my animals! Not one bad thing about them except they don’t deal with snakes! Maybe one day! (:

Sara Arnold

I couldn't be happier with my experience! I brought my 4 month old boxer mix in for her shots/exam recently and the entire staff was extremely friendly. Everyone clearly loves their job and it shows in how they treat their customers (both the humans and the furry ones). They are very knowledgeable, answered all my questions and even followed up with a hand-written card in the mail. Who does that?? Their prices are very reasonable too, I would say competitive if not even better than anywhere else around. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a vet and will stay with them as long as we are in the area.

Beth Eby

I have been going to SportsVet for almost six years now, and it has been one of the best decisions I made since moving to the area. I have both cats and dogs, and Dr. Dillon and Dr. Jacobs have always taken such excellent care of them. Whether the pets go in for a routine check up or for something more serious, I know my pets are going to receive the best care and attention. The prices are very reasonable--I have never once felt as though I was being ripped off or over-charged for a service. One of my dogs has also been going to doggy daycare, and it has been wonderful. Audrey and Shay do such a good job making sure our pup has a great time, and they even provide weekly write-ups to let you know how your pup did. I have recommended SportsVet to every friend I have that owns a pet, and I will always continue to do so.

Kathryn Rutledge

I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy absolutely garbage none of the vets new what they were doing. We would ask what they thought we should do and all they had to say was I don't know. Do not take any animal here unless you want it to die. It wasn't even worth the drive. Absolutely rude people working. I wouldn't trust these people with anything with a heartbeat...if I could put 0 stars I would...

Margaret Bojko

Dr. Jacobs and his staff are fantastic! I had taken my dog to several vets before finally coming to Sportsvet. Dr. Jacobs was very reassuring and was able to determine the source of the lameness almost immediately. He took the time to explain every part of the surgery that my dog needed as well as the fees associated with it. I never felt rushed and never felt like he just wanted my money. You could tell that he and his staff truly cared about my pet. Even following my dog's knee surgery I was met with smiling faces each time we came for a rehab appointment. I now take all of my pets here and highly recommend Dr. Jacobs to everyone. Definitely one of the best vets in the Central Illinois area!

Sharon Lee

Great vet, they work slowly with my dog who can be fearful and nervous. They also don't mind when my small dogs get a bit excited/ bark a lot in the clinic. Always have a great experience there!

Wesley Cox

We took our dog to see them as our regular vet had no availability. We were very impressed from the minute we stepped into the office. They were very nice and courteous through the whole process. They went through all of the steps they would be taking and the costs before they went through the testing. Unfortunately our dog had to be euthanized. They were so caring and supportive through the whole process. They even sent us a hand written sympathy card in the mail this week. We were so appreciative of their support and caring in a very hard time for us. We will forever be grateful for that.

Michael Sciortino

Shout out to the great work of Dr. Sciortino!

Mary Davis

Dr. Jacobs and the entire staff at SportsVet contributed to Hunny's successful bilateral TPLO surgical experience. The information provided before her surgery, updates the day of the procedure, and support during her recovery and physical therapy resulted in a dog on her way to resuming a very active and athletic schedule and owners thankful for her physical restoration and continued quality of life. The CU area is very fortunate to have a veterinary practice such as this in our own backyard. Welcoming, compassionate, knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and fantastic! Pets are Family and deserve the best. Look no further than the good people at SportsVet.

Eric Herzog

This is the place to take your pet!! The Staff is outstanding and truly care about your pets. My Liam can not wait to get in the door. No stressed out puppies here!! I have recommended Sportvet to friends and all have had a great experience..

Justin Sánchez

This was my first visit and it was an unscheduled/emergency visit for my dog (re: conjunctivitis). We saw Dr. Jacobs and he was thoughtful, pleasant, insightful and gave me a few options for treatment. Staff was exceedingly kind and they were great with my dog. We were in and out in 1.5hrs which includes the time it took to render the results from blood work. I was pleasantly surprised at the reasonable price (when does that ever happen?!) for our visit/exam + labs. The facilities are very spacious, new, and clean.

Molly Blazier

Went here for my new dog's first check up. Fairly cheap but it seemed like the vet was more concerned about getting us in and out, which is nice, don't get me wrong, but I didn't feel like they wanted to get to know my dog in terms of how he's doing, medical history, etc. Could have just been my perception but overall a good place.

Austin Johnson

When I first read all these positive reviews, I couldn't believe a vet center could really be that good. But, trust me, they are. Unbelievably friendly, thoughtful, and down-to-earth. All of the staff clearly care about the pets that come in, and our vet gave us excellent advice on how to help us get our cat's weight down (that didn't involve lots of expensive food). We won't be going anywhere else.

Brina Gartlan

I take my dog Tino to day care at Sportsvet and I love it! They will take him even if it is last minute, and I always leave with a tired but happy pup. Would definitely recommend their day care facility!

Alex Lazarevich

This place is a fantastic resource. I've used it twice, both times it was over the weekend, the normal vet (who is also fantastic) was out, and my pet(s) were in very bad pain. Both times the Animal Emergency Clinic helped my pet(s), solved the problem, and was very kind and understanding in doing it. I was very happy, and I'm sure if they could, my pets would thank them too. The first time, one of my cats broke one of her canine teeth. She was in massive pain, couldn't eat, and jumped in pain every few moments. It was 10PM on Saturday night. I took her to the Animal Emergency Clinic, and they immediately scheduled for tooth removal, put her on meds, and within a day or two my cat was back to normal 100%. Most recently, I was helped by a tech named "Meg", she was totally awesome, and I knew my concerns for my pet were odd, and I was wondering if I was over-reacting. But she completely understood my concerns, and gave me advice, and it helped my pet 100%. Thank you!!! I will use Animal Emergency Clinic without reservation in the future.

Libby Covington

dr. turek is amazing, so is the whole team! everyone truely cares about my puppy. they always take their time and answer all my questions. only vet i could find in town that advertised 24 hours, which is a nice piece of mind. highly recommend!!

Lindsay Heinlein

We have had nothing but a great, professional experience with our dogs at SportsVet. The staff is kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Everyone in the clinic took the time to meet our dogs and snap adorable pictures. We would highly recommend them.

Megan Baird

I've been taking my pets to SportsVet for a few years now. It's always a little nerve racking to switch vets as I had been going to the one my family used for forever. However, SportsVet has been nothing but fantastic and I'm glad that I found such an awesome clinic! I completely trust them in the care of my dogs and cat. Highly recommended!

Loni Walker

I can't fully describe in words the wonderful treatment Buddy received before during and after his TPLO surgery. Excellent staff and wonderful veterinarians who clearly have a passion for their job. Highly recommend.

Amy Broyles

Dr Jacobs performed surgery on my dog Bella's knee. Prior to surgery, they gave me every single piece of information that I might possibly need. They took the time to answer every question. Afterwards, Bella had some issues with her stomach due to the pain meds and antibiotics, so I called the office A Lot! They were absolutely wonderful! They took the time to listen to me and walke through what to do. I can't recommend this place enough! Excellent customer service!

Aboli Godbole

This was my first vet experience as I've never had a pet before. I'm so, so happy that I chose to bring my cat here. The office staff were warm, gracious, and took the time to thoroughly explain the details of Skipper's appointment and billing. The Vet himself was phenomenal. I have yet to receive such incredible service from my own doctors. Cost was a concern for me as I'd heard horror stories of astronomical vet bills. This clinic's prices were extremely reasonable and their service was worth far more than they charged. I'm recommending them to every pet owner I know. You will not be disappointed here.

The Real Deggy

These people are incredible, and their services are even better. We had to take our husky Finn in for having multiple seizures in a 24 hour window, they kept him overnight and quickly gave him much needed immediate care. The rates for his treatment were much better than expected. We will surely look into making these people our primary care vets for Finn. Thank you Sportsvet, you guys are fantastic.

Mary VanEaton

You won't find better Veterinary care anywhere. I can't begin to say enough wonderful things about SportsVet. I am a long time animal lover/caregiver who has lived in multiple states, with animals that have had various medical issues and have therefore used numerous veterinary practices. SportsVet is at the top of my list. Being new to this area, I was looking for a vet for my 11 yr old Jack Russell Terrier who has numerous health issues including epilepsy. I wanted to "interview" some practices before committing to a "wellness visit". So I stopped in to speak with the staff. Katie, who is the Office Manager, was very courteous, professional and knowledgeable. She was more than willing to answer ALL of my questions regarding their practice philosophy, pricing, hours, staffing, and listen to my needs. Everywhere else I had called or stopped in had treated me as if I was an inconvenience to them by asking questions regarding potentially becoming their client. Katie "won" my business on the spot. Then when Spike and I went in for her first visit, we were treated to more excellent, compassionate, kind care. Dr. Jacobs was great with Spike (who has come to hate going to vets as she has had to go frequently) and was very willing to discuss her complex medical history as well as my current needs. The vet techs and support staff were wonderful as well. And a bonus to the wonderful care is that their pricing is VERY reasonable!!! Go to see them, you won't be disappointed.
