Valued Pet Parents,
The Hillchester Animal Hospital Hillside location has closed and merged with Boughton Square Animal Clinic in Bolingbrook. Hillchester started serving pets more than 70 years ago in 1955. Combining forces with Boughton Square offers clients and patients access to a more modern facility with expanded services to include Boarding, Grooming and Pet Daycare, and is open additional hours, 6 days a week.
Pet Medical Records
Boughton Square Animal Clinic in Bolingbook has full electronic access to your pet’s records and can pick up seamlessly where we leave off. Boughton Square offers wellness, sick, and surgery services as well as boarding, daycare and grooming in their recently-renovated facility. Just call, and a representative will be able look up your pet’s medical history at any time, send any records needed, and can schedule an appointment at their location. To make it as easy as possible, Boughton Square is also offering Hillchester clients a FREE first exam.
