Premier Veterinary Group and Integrative Pet Care form Strategic Alliance to Offer Enhanced Care for Animals Across Chicagoland Area

Premier Veterinary Group, a privately owned animal emergency and specialty care provider, is proud to announce a strategic alliance with Integrative Pet Care (IPC), a specialty center dedicated exclusively to animal rehabilitation, fitness and wellness. The alliance unites Premier's comprehensive animal care offerings, including internal medicine, advanced surgery, oncology and emergency services with IPC's premier rehabilitation, exercise and wellness services. The companies have six facilities strategically located throughout the Chicago metropolitan area, including Chicago, Crestwood, Grayslake, Hanover Park, and Homer Glen.

"In addition to providing complementary services, IPC is a partner that culturally mirrors our customer focus and compassion for the animals we serve," commented Matt Tompkins, DVM, co-founder and managing partner of Premier Veterinary Group. "Having the ability to unite our specialty services immediately after treatment with IPC's rehabilitation care will only enhance our patient's results," stated Tompkins.

The strategic alliance between Premier Veterinary Group and IPC ensures patients receive the absolute best rehabilitation services in the Chicagoland area. By integrating animal rehabilitation into the continuum of care, Premier Veterinary Group can improve recovery from injury or surgery, accelerating healing and preventing future injury.

"During the course of our discussions, it became apparent that both companies shared a strong dedication to the referring veterinary community," stated Ed Heil, Integrative Pet Care's principal owner. "That was a critical factor in our decision to form this alliance, as we believe this partnership provides pet owners an enhanced, full-service animal care health and rehabilitation experience."
