The team at Knoll Animal Hospital has loved serving the Carol Stream, Glendale Heights, Wheaton, and Glen Ellyn area as well as staying active in these communities since we opened in 2015!

If there's an outdoor pet event in the local area, we're probably there! Throughout the years, we've been lucky to meet so many 4-legged and 2-legged friends at outdoor pet events. Keep an eye out for us!

As industry professionals, we believe that it's our responsibility to offer opportunities for students to learn! Whether that be giving veterinary students (like doctors, technicians, and assistants) a place to hone their skills in a real-world setting through externships, internships, or mentor programs; giving presentations at grade schools and high schools; or opening our doors to educational opportunities for the general public- Knoll Animal Hospital loves teaching as much as we love learning.

We are very lucky to have Santa come down to Knoll Animal Hospital in Carol Stream, Illinois from the North Pole every year. When Santa tells us what date he can visit, we always send out an email to our clients to let them know to call and schedule right away. He only has a couple hours free in December before he has to get back to his workshop. Bringing Santa around gives us the opportunity to collect so many donations for animal (and human!) organizations that could use a little extra help.
