10th Annual Pet Blessing
DATE: TBD
Lombard Veterinary Hospital – Back Lot
Join Us for a Special Celebration
We’re excited to announce our 9th Annual Pet Blessing, taking place in our back lot on Saturday, September 27th at 11:00 AM. This pet-friendly event is open to all faith backgrounds and welcomes families, friends, and pets of every kind. Together, we’ll celebrate the special role pets play in our lives while honoring the memory of those who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
What to Expect
This special service will include prayers and remembrance for beloved pets who have passed, as well as blessings for the pets who share our lives today. It will be a pet-friendly gathering where dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other animals are welcome to participate. To ensure everyone’s comfort and safety, we ask that pets be kept on a leash or in a secure carrier throughout the event.

Parking
Volunteers will be available to help direct traffic. The first eight spots in the middle section and the two spots next to our digital sign will be reserved for clients with scheduled appointments, as the hospital will still be open during the event. Remaining spaces will be used for event parking, with additional spots available along the north side of the lot (next to the black railing) and in the grass area by the Post Office. Once full, attendees will be directed to nearby streets or commuter lots, which are free to use on weekends. Clients needing quick pharmacy pick-ups or patient drop-offs/pick-ups will be directed to the portaco for easy access.
