History
Dr. Melissa Behrens opened the doors to Animal Hospital at the Shores in April, 2011. Located in the beautiful Lake Barrington area and next to the Village of Tower Lakes, our hospital practices modern medicine with an integrative approach. We provide a full range of veterinary services from state of the art dentistry to acupuncture for chronic disease. We treat each pet as if it were family, providing our patients with the very best care. At Animal Hospital at the Shores, we provide a personalized approach to the healthcare of your pet with a focus on wellness and disease prevention. We believe each animal is unique in its health needs. We do not endorse a generalized approach that provides a packaged set of standards for each cat or dog. Instead, we evaluate your pet as a whole, including behavior, environment and lifestyle to help you make the best decisions to optimize your pet's wellness.

We have the tools to evaluate each patient as an individual, and make treatment recommendations based on both western and eastern philosophies. Animal Hospital at the Shores uses western and eastern diagnostic tools to help evaluate an integrative approach to your pet's wellness
