Welcome to Chicago Animal ER.

No one expects an emergency, but it happens. And when it does, we are here to meet your animal's medical needs any time your regular veterinarian is not available. You can call or stop by 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

First and foremost, at Chicago Animal ER we're pet lovers, with a special affection for the dogs that lift our spirits and the cats that make us laugh. Our veterinarians understand that exceptional pet care combines a passion for animals with the latest advances in animal medicine. And our medical pedigree couldn't be better: Chicago Animal ER is a service of the Chicago Center for Veterinary Medicine, the Chicago headquarters for the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine.

24/7 access to exceptional emergency veterinary care at a convenient West Loop location

The Chicago Animal ER parking lot will be unavailable this weekend from very early Saturday morning until late Monday morning.

While there should be ample parking on Harrison Street during the daytime and evening hours, there is no parking on Harrison Street between 11:00 pm and 5:00 am. During these overnight hours staff and clients can park in the Illinois Medical District parking lots – one is at the corner of Leavitt and Harrison and the other is a small lot between two buildings just east of Oakley on the other side of Harrison Street. There is also non-restricted parking on Leavitt.
