Carey Animal Clinic is Readers' Choice for Best Vet

Patch readers had a lot of great things to say about New Lenox veterinarians, but the fans who barked loudest chose as the readers' choice.

Readers were allowed to vote for their favorite local veterinarian by or leaving a review in our business directory. Here's some of the praise:

• "They really care about our pets. I always feel my pets are getting the best treatment."
• "I hold Dr. Carey in very high regard, her expertise, her compassion, and her surgical skills have helped so many animals. She is one who will go "the extra mile" for an animal and treats each one with love as she would her own. I have driven many miles to see her for my animals."
• "Sadly one of my best friends was found to have cancer, as difficult as it was Dr. Carey helped us through it and showed more love and affection to not only are best friend but to us. Every animal should be so lucky to meet and spend time with Dr. Carey and her staff."

Carey Animal Clinic moved into the old fire station building along Route 30 and Church Street in May 2011 after being housed in the shopping center near LA Cafe. It is a full-service veterinary facility that treats cats and dogs.

It offers routine examinations and injury treatment and prides itself on the careful attention it takes to make sure its clients' pets are properly cared for.
