Veterinarian in Algonquin, IL
Just 10 minutes from Algonquin via Algonquin Rd to Lakewood Rd. Personal, privately owned care for the dogs and cats of Algonquin.
Our Story
With the Fox River running through its center, Algonquin straddles McHenry and Kane counties, growing immensely since its incorporation in 1890. In my not too distant memory, the drive from I-90 to Crystal Lake was just that: A way to get from here to there, two-laned, with no major stores along the way. Healthy Paws Animal Hospital in Lake in the Hills is situated just north and west of the bustling Algonquin Commons and old downtown. Close enough to be easily accessible for pet owners, but far enough to be away from the commotion and traffic that is Randall Road, we are a proudly privately owned practice that has made every effort to pay attention to all of the details when it comes to your pet’s veterinary care.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Healthy Paws Animal Hospital from Algonquin?
About 10 minutes via Algonquin Rd west to Lakewood Rd, a direct and easy drive that stays off the busy Randall Road corridor. Most Algonquin clients tell us it is easier than getting to some practices technically closer to home.
What veterinary services do you offer Algonquin pets?
What makes Healthy Paws different from veterinary clinics closer to Algonquin?
We are privately owned and have been under the same ownership since our founding in 2010. Every clinical recommendation comes from the doctor who knows your pet, not a corporate protocol. Your pet goes directly to a private exam room when you arrive. Treats are offered to ensure your pet’s experience is one they will remember primarily for the ‘rewards.’ You will be paired with a dedicated veterinary technician for the full visit, and Dr. Burgess personally follows up after significant procedures. Our Algonquin clients tell us this is the difference they stay for.
Do you offer same-day appointments for Algonquin pets?
Yes. We offer same-day urgent care during regular business hours. If your pet needs to be seen quickly, call us at (815) 322-5400 and our team will do everything possible to accommodate you that day.
