Vet Candy congratulates winner of our 2023 Design & Innovation award

April 18, 2023 Dr. Sheridan Lathe

Taking our beloved pets to the veterinary clinic can be quite stressful – and not just for them but for us too. Fortunately for the pets of Chicago, Vetique has solved some of this stress for us.

Just like how we can visit our local beauty salon for pampering and relaxation, a trip to the veterinary clinic can feel like that too! And not just for us, but our pets can be pampered and spoiled too!

Vetique is a veterinary clinic in Chicago with a design like no other. From chandeliers in the hallways to a fully stocked bar. Vetique knows what their customers want and they designed their clinic around that.

Yes, they provide full veterinary services, but with a twist- a pampered experience for both pet and pet parent!

GOLDEN ACCENTS with gold sparkle epoxy - Vetique floors are a constant reminder to never let anyone dull your sparkle! ;)

How Is Vetique Different?

Dr. Remnes and Dr. Trice aim to shake up the veterinary care industry. Instead of a stressful experience, they want their clients to have a chic and luxurious one. Pet parents should be able to sit back and relax with a complimentary glass of wine while their pet is being cared for. The surroundings have lovingly been designed so you feel more like you’re at a fancy restaurant or spa rather than a medical setting.

Vetique’s wine bar and sustainable, clean-crafted selection of wines from Scout & Cellar. Our favorite feature about the wines are the unique branded wine labels. They have the following selections available at their in-clinic bar: Pinot Meow, Caternet, Ruff Day Rose, Pawsecco, Sauvignon Bark.

Who Owns Vetique?

Vetique is fully female-owned by two best friends, Dr. Jennifer Remnes, and Dr. Jessica Trice. These two female bosses have the sweetest dispositions and have hired the best team for the clinic. Expect to be happily greeted by staff when you enter the beautifully designed clinic. By the time their clients leave, they feel like they have just made best friends with everyone.

SPA VIBES: Vetique uses a clinic wide Hotel Collection scent diffuser (the clinic smells just like the 1 Hotel in Miami Beach!). The diffuser emits crisp, woodsy notes in the sophisticated "My Way" scent. It’s infused with an exquisite combination of Tuscan leather, lush sandalwood and oud wood. The My Way reed diffuser adds a breath of luxury and opulence to the space!

Why Vetique is Being Honored for This Award

Vet Candy’s Design and Innovation Award was created to celebrate veterinary professionals that disrupt the status quo and make change for the better. Vet Candy selected Vetique, because of not only its unique interior that you’d never guess was for veterinary services, but also because of the care they provide to pet and pet parents. Before the clinic opened, great care was spent with the architects in designing the perfect space, including a front reception area with wine bar, washrooms, and examination and surgical rooms that look more like a posh salon.

PERSONAL TOUCHES: Each exam room is dedicated to pets that inspired the vision for Vetique. These portraits were created by Perkie Prints, a small female-founded business!

Whether you decide to relax with a glass of wine, or simply sit on the comfortable couch and view the intricate details of the walls and interior design, you’ll agree that this is the most beautiful and caring veterinary clinic on the planet that has combined innovation with reliable veterinary care. We are delighted to award them with Vet Candy's Design and Innovation Award 2023!
