Services
At DeVries Animal Hospital we recognize the significance of the relationship between humans and animals, called human-animal bond. Our goal is to provide the very best veterinary care and service to support all aspects of the human-animal bond, recognizing that both the needs of animal patients and human clients must be addressed simultaneously.
Because of the shorter lifespan of our pets, we stress the importance of an annual physical examination. Thorough check-ups and preventive care can help alleviate serious health problems. Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services: Our hospital is equipped to provide diagnostic and therapeutic services to care for your pets' complete health care needs.
Dr. DeVries graduated from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. He founded DeVries Animal Hospital in 1987 at 475 Spring Road in Elmhurst. The practice moved to 528 Spring Road in 1989 to accommodate its growth and to provide better service to clients and patients. He resides in Elmhurst with his wife and four children, and is actively involved in the community.
Nancy joined the staff at DeVries Animal Hospital in 1989, and has enjoyed seeing the practice grow through the years. She has made many lasting relationships with our clients and their pets. Nancy has stepped away from her position as Office Manager, but remains an integral part of the Hospital Staff.

We were visiting Elmhurst from out of town with our new puppy. We were in a tight spot and needed to get her some additional shots so that she could be boarded for a few days. Dr. DeVries was terrific and kind and took a tremendous amount of time with me walking through our puppy's health, even though Dr. DeVries knew we wouldn't be a regular patient. His care and kindness were remarkable. I wish we lived in Elmhurst so he could be our regular Dr.!

The level of car at DeVries is absolutely top notch. Their vets are caring and compassionate, the facility is very clean and professional, they have expert knowledge, and they are very conveniently located to anyone in Elmhurst or Villa Park. The owner is very active in the community, which is awesome. However, their cost is greatly prohibitive for me.
I have found their pricing to be 30-50% more than other vets in the area. The Elmhurst Animal Care Center can't hold a candle to the competencies of DeVries. Alas, my pet care budget is unfortunately more in line with their pricing. I wish I could better afford DeVries because they represent the top class of the industry and small business practitioners. I highly recommend if your budget allows.

I would highly recommend the DeVries animal hospital to anyone who is looking for a high quality vet. Dr DeVries cares tremendously for both people and animals. Every time I see him he remembers everything about me (and my pets). He also doesn't pressure any choices but gives me all the relevant information I need and let's me choose the path to take. He is knowledgeable, kind, and professional and I would gladly recommend him to anyone who is in need of his services.

They were very professional, kind, and answered all of our questions. They were flexible with scheduling as we weren't able to get papers we needed before the appointment we made. It seems that they also wave or discount first checkup fees for pets adopted from a shelter, which is very kind of them.

Our dog was very sick and our regular Vet was closed so DeVries took us in same day as a new patient, which was much appreciated. As it turned out, our dog had to be put down and Dr Daly was the kindest, most caring Doctor. Made the experience a little easier to handle. Too bad we won't be going back, we'll be staying pet-free. Otherwise I would highly recommend them.

Excellent, professional, thoughtful care. We've been using DeVries Animal Hospital for about 10 years. We switched to DeVries after a less than ideal experience at another (marginally less expensive) local Vet. DeVries has provided the highest quality care for our two dogs. The front office staff are helpful, and the Vets are extremely knowledgeable.

My husband and I have had a positive experience every time we go to DeVries Animal Hospital in Elmhurst. From the first day we brought our puppy home, DeVries has been patient and helpful with all of our puppy parenting questions and needs. Even if I just have a concern (like the time my dog accidentally ate paint) I don't hesitate to call because I know one of the doctors will get back to me with a timely and knowledgeable response. Dr. Lannon has been especially helpful, and always has time to chat about our pets and answer any questions we have. I would recommend this place to any pet parent!
