About Wheatland Animal Hospital

A family-owned practice in Naperville, Illinois, dedicated to exceptional medical care in a calm, stress-free environment.

Our Story

Wheatland Animal Hospital is a family-owned veterinary practice located in Naperville, Illinois. Founded in 1990 by Dr. Roger Dupuis, we’ve grown into a six-doctor general practice supported by a compassionate and highly skilled team.

From the very beginning, our mission has been to raise the standard of veterinary care through continuous innovation, transparency, and heart. We build true partnerships with you – everything we do is based on your lifestyle, your pet’s unique needs, and a personal, quality touch you can feel in every interaction.

What sets us apart? We break the mold of traditional veterinary practices by prioritizing a stress-free experience for both pets and their people.

Our facility is thoughtfully designed for comfort and well-being. You’ll find a specially designed cat-care room, a separate feline waiting area, and even a private entrance for anxious pets who need a quieter arrival experience. All of our appointments follow a “fear-free” philosophy, helping ensure that every visit is as calm and positive as possible.

At Wheatland, we treat your pets like family – because to us, they are. We look forward to welcoming you and your best friend soon!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a major dental cleaning/extraction. They were very professional, organized and communicated exceptionally well (via the vet, text reminders and online software). They are probably slight above average on pricing but I still highly recommend them.

The one negative is they only use Covetrus Pharmacy, so its a pain to get prescriptions through Chewy or somewhere cheaper. You have to mail in the prescription, not vet fax or email option...

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So impressed with this practice! They took the time to listen and accurately test the symptoms my pug was having, rather than just throw a medication to mask the symptoms at us. So glad we found them!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My Shiba is 15 y/o next month and doing well but starting to show her age.  That said, most people say she still looks like a puppy - thanks in no small part to the awesome care she has received over the years from Dr. Faith and his team @ WAH.  I recently moved away and still travel hundreds of miles to come back to WAH for her check-ups because of the personal attention, care and professionalism of the team there. Can't say enough about how they have helped my girl (and me) through her life-journey. Stay the course and thank you for all you do.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve been going to Wheatland Animal Clinic for decades. We’ve had 5 dogs total that received/receive care regularly. We just brought our new rescue puppy there for his first exam. We love the entire staff!
