Hey All, we've been pretty disappointed with the 'bulldog experts' we've visited in Chicago. Does anyone have any personal experience with a great vet in the Chicago area?

Wow...wish I'd asked sooner. Dr. Shaw in Woodstock I guess is preferred by both my Mentors for just about anything Bulldog. The Fertility Specialist they prefer is in Westmont, IL , Dr. Patricia Meiser at the Animal Care & Reproductive Center. Both are about a 90 minute drive. I just made my appointments.... Thanks gang.....

is the best. I have been going there for 11 years. Out in Woodstock but well worth the drive - we live in the northern suburbs and travel an hr to get there.
For minor things or annual vaccines when we give them, we stay close but for any bulldog related issues or problems we see Shaw.

but you can give them a call and ask. Dr. Shaw's number is (815) 338-0132, and Dr. Navin's number is (815) 838-0505. If not, maybe then can recommend someone to you. Good luck.

Would either one of them happen to specialize in fertility? We are having a hard time finding a Vet in the Chicago are that specializes in fertility and comes well recommended. We are willing to travel several hours for a good Vet!

But you will have to drive out of the city. They are recommended on this board, BCA website, and Chicago English Bulldog Meet-Up Group (and rescue).
Dr. Lloyd Shaw Woodstock Veterinary Hospital Woodstock, IL
Dr. Paul Navin All Pets Hospital Lockport, IL
We go to Dr. Shaw and LOVE him. He is great and knows bulldogs. I know CEBR uses Dr. Navin and I have heard nothing but great things about him. Good luck and you will be in great hands with either one you choose.

Have you tried Dr.Bruderle (Dr.B) at Burnham Park Animal Hospital on 11th&State? He's been really good with our bulldog Burger. He has a huge bulldog clientele.
