Animal Wellness Center to Open at 1601 S. State

New Animal Wellness to open at 1601 S. State St. in November

As you walk by the empty office space at 1601 S. State St., you’ll notice signs advertising a new animal health center. Dr. Steven Andres, DVM is establishing South State-N-16th Animal Wellness Center as a satellite office to compliment his Clark-N-Oak Animal Health Center located at 1009 N Clark St. Another center planned for 447 W. North Ave. (North-N-Hudson Animal Wellness Center) will have Sunday hours. Dr. Andres hopes to have the State St. and North Ave. centers open in November, but cautioned “[you] never know about the remodeling.”

The new Wellness Center will  be a satellite of the Clark-N-Oak Center.

The South State-N-16th location will provide all the services offered at the Clark-N-Oak Center except surgery, digital radiology (x-rays), and hospitalization if required. Assessment evaluation to include blood work, minor procedures, and vaccinations will be available at this location. Owners will be able to drop off pets in the morning for check ups and vaccinations and pick them up at the end of the day. If a pet needs further evaluation or hospitalization it will be transferred to the Clark-N-Oak Center.

Dr. Steven Andres, DVM operates a mobile clinic.

According to Dr. Andres, the services provided will be affordable at the State Street Wellness Center. There are plenty of pets in the South Loop and Dr. Andres is no stranger to the area. He has had hours at Dogone Fun with his mobile clinic parked at 1717 S. State Street for the last three years. He currently visits every Tuesday from 1-4 p.m. and looks forward to having a more convenient and extended presence in the South Loop.
