Compassionate Veterinary Care in Zion, IL: Serving Cats, Dogs, & Exotic Pets
Since opening in 2018, Gray Animal Hospital has been a part of the Zion community, watching puppies grow into adults, welcoming new kittens, and supporting families through both everyday checkups and unexpected emergencies. We’ve grown alongside our clients, learning what matters most: pets deserve advanced care delivered with compassion and respect.
In January 2026, we’ll open our new 5,000-square-foot facility, with six exam rooms, upgraded surgical suites, and the area’s only MRI available for general practice patients. This new space allows us to offer urgent care, advanced diagnostics, surgery, and wellness services all under one roof, without losing the personal attention that has always set us apart.
Urgent Care When You Need It Most
We understand that pets don’t follow a schedule, so we offer urgent care services with extended hours, including walk-ins on Sundays for sick or injured pets only and Monday walk-ins for all patients.
Our team is prepared to handle everything from minor injuries and sudden illnesses to more serious emergencies, providing the same specialty-level care you expect from our hospital. With extended hours and walk-in availability, you can rest assured that help is always within reach, without the stress of navigating an emergency veterinary hospital or traveling far from home.
Meet Your Pet’s Advocates
Our team is skilled, experienced, and deeply invested in the well-being of your pets. We know each animal has their own personality and needs, and we take the time to understand them. From urgent care and diagnostics to wellness exams and surgery, we approach every visit with expertise and compassion.
AAHA Accreditation: Our Commitment to Excellence
