Question Best veterinarian in Champaign-Urbana?

Hi!

I have a 5 and a half month old dachshund. Just recently relocated to the C-U area and it's getting around that time we need to get a rabies shot and look into getting him neutered. Also, I think he has an ear infection so I would like to take him somewhere as soon as possible this week to get him looked at.

I am on the southwest side of Champaign but am willing to go anywhere with great care. Our last vet in Indiana was so caring and knowledgeable about dachshunds and was reasonably priced so I am hoping to find that same kind of care.

I am hoping I might get some leads on here as to where is the best vet office to take my dog. I was looking at VCA Heritage but I'm worried it might be very expensive. I would appreciate any feedback from community members on what's the best and still reasonably priced. Also, since I believe he has an ear infection I want to get him in as soon as possible. Thank you!

We have been going to Caring Hands Animal Hospital in Urbana (by Sunnycrest Mall) and have had good experiences so far. Prices seem reasonable.

This is off your subject... but we have a dachshund also. We also just moved to the area and we are looking for someone to swap in dog care while we go on vacations or a weekend get-a-way. We have never had to board her and just hate the thought of doing so. We always have had neighbors to take turns in caring for each others dog.
We went to Sandusky, Oh over the weekend and took her... it was just too much for her and us!!
Anyway if this is something that you might be interested in, please let me know.
I hope you find a good vet, ours is in Danville.

Although I do not have dogs (unfortunately), I have been taking my two cats to All Creatures Animal Hospital on North Lincoln (near the highway). I also took my rabbit there until she passed away several years ago. They are wonderful!

Their website is All Creatures Animal Hospital. Good luck!

Caring Hands in Urbana is excellent. Their charges are reasonable from my experience. If you are trying to save money Crossroads in Urbana used to be relatively cheaper. But the facility is not as up to date as some practices.

If you are new to the area, your dog needs Rabies, Bordatello and the other shot - the name escapes me. It a total of three shots. You can give the Bordatello and other yourself, but Rabies is by Vet only. You will also need to give Heart Worm and Flee treatment all year. My dog got fleas in January even though it was cold and snow was on the ground! If your pet is around trees and grass, mosquitos and ticks can be a problem as they carry disease. We spray four times a year and it helps greatly to control the bad bug population. .
