Hi all it’s me again. I’ll be moving to the Rockford area in a couple weeks and I am looking for a vet for my 2 year old lab. I’d like a vet with evening/weekend hours ideally to try to avoid having to take off work for routine care. I’d also like a vet that does not require you be separated from your dog when they’re doing exams unless absolutely necessary, since she is my service dog so I am a little extra cautious when it comes to being separated from her. Ideally the vet would have experience with working dogs as well but that is not a requirement.

Hi! Potentially moving to Rockford and seeking advice. I just received a job offer in Rockford- Loves Park specifically and am trying to figure out the best place around to live. I’ve been to the area once during the interview process, but I didn’t have a chance to see too much of the city. Location is a huge factor on if I will accept the offer or not, so I’m trying to get a sense of where I would live.

Non negotiables:

1. Within 15-20 minutes of Love’s Park (closer is preferable)
2. Safe enough for light walking around after dark

Preferable:

1. Easy/close access to dog friendly trails and running paths
2. Walkable access to things like restaurants and activities
3. Within 10 minutes of Love’s Park

Thanks in advance for any advice!!
