Updated 11 October 2026 · 21 pet shops in Downtown, Peoria IL considered · Ranked from Google ratings
This guide covers the five highest rated animal care businesses for the Downtown, Peoria, Illinois area. The category label is pet shops, but every entry is a veterinary clinic or animal hospital, so this is a guide to pet health care rather than retail pet supplies. Businesses are ranked by Google rating, weighted by how many people left one, so a clinic with 600 reviews counts for more than a handful of reviews. Twenty-one qualifying businesses were considered. Each entry lists hours, address and attributes from Google.
