About this business
Metropolitan Veterinary Center was established in 2012 by Dr. Kjerstin Jacobs. She founded the practice based on her observation that there was an unmet need for high-quality, reasonably priced medical and surgical care for Chicago’s beloved pets, not only on weekdays but on weekends and late evenings as well.

So this place is amazing. I lived nearby and moved to Edgewater and will only go there. We had an emergency with one of our kiddos and they took them in right away. These folks are amazing, kindhearted people and they don't charge an obnoxious amount. If you are in the search for a vet, and you want the absolute best treatment for your child (let's be honest if you are reading this, your pet is your kid) then go here. I just saved you a search, no need to pay me. Is there a way to give 7 stars instead of 5?
Love Metro Vet! I have taken my dog here for years. The office is always clean, the staff is friendly and has a genuine concern and affection for their furry patients. Not to mention it's hard to find a vet that's open 7 days week, 7am-10pm which makes it easy to schedule an appointment when needed. I also appreciate they almost always follow up the day after a visit to see how your furbaby is doing and answer any one-off questions you may have thought of after you've left the office. Thanks Metro!
Was met by two lovely smiling faces. The appointment was super easy to make, and the front desk receptionists, vet tech, and vet all put my dog (and me) at ease. They didn't push for extra tests or medication, and were extremely helpful. HIGHLY recommend.
I went with my dog to check him out for diarrhea , incontinence, cough , vomiting . They took stool sample and called me later is all good , negative stool exam . When I asked how to deal with my sick dog a rude upfront lady tells me to make an appointment with the doctor . When I explained my belief that I am pretty sure the dog needs immediate care and cannot wait was told clear this is not option. Dogs do not need just vaccines they also need care when sick or at least be explained what to do if the dog vomits or is not e... read more
Great care for pets!! Bring in records from other facilities. They are really good
Started coming here as a friend told me about their puppy package which is a great deal if you have a new pup. It included all vaccines, appointments, and a spay/neuter. They have been great to visit and even though my dog is past the puppy package, we will continue to come (even with it being out of the way). Their hours are very convenient, they respond to email and calls quickly, and everyone we have met has been more than friendly and nice!
I have been taking my 6 year old boxer here for the last year, we do not live close and I can assure you.. It is worth the 45 minute trip (one-way). We usually see Dr. Jenstead as she has a special interest in allergy/dermatology cases. Thus far, she has been the only veterinarian to keep my dogs symptoms under control. They also offer different holistic treatments such as laser and acupuncture. Their extended evening and weekend hours are just icing on the cake! I would trust any of the 5 doctors who practice here to treat ... read more
This is the best clinic I've been to! They are always incredibly kind and attentive. I have two 2-yr old female pit bulls that I take here for all their needs. The technician team is polite and have always handled my dogs with care. The vets are also amazing. They aren't condescending or rude when they give you their diagnosis and are incredibly understanding when it comes to what you can and cannot afford. Their main concern is your pet! I would definitely recommend this place for any dog owner
Similar to other pet owners, e.g., 4/17 review below, I had quite a few negative experiences here, put up with quite a lot for some years. I would not recommend that people bring a beloved pet here. Examples include: vet who continually pushed for my dog to have bladder surgery for stones without allowing adequate time for medical therapy, I actually felt very uneasy about it and family and friends warned me that some vets are very pushy about not-needed interventions; once I made the decision to not proceed with the surger... read more
