Exceptional care, compassion, and kindness when we needed it most…read moreMy husband and I were vacationing in Galena, Illinois, with our two small dogs when we noticed that our 14-year-old Yorkiepoo was having a difficult time walking. Since we had been traveling and driving from Texas, we initially thought he might simply have a hitch in his giddy-up. But being a senior myself, I felt he needed to be seen sooner rather than later. I called Veterinary Associates of Galena around 4:15 p.m. and explained what was going on. They closed at 5:00, but without hesitation, they told us to bring him in. When we arrived, they took us back almost immediately and began examining him. They did blood work and even contacted our veterinarian back home in Texas to obtain his medical records and make sure they had everything they needed to properly evaluate him. Thankfully, his blood work came back perfect. They prescribed medication, and we were back at our hotel by about 5:30. The next morning, he was only so-so and was acting a little funny. I called Veterinary Associates again, and they were able to get us an appointment within a couple of hours. As he seemed to be feeling a little better, I ultimately decided to cancel the appointment. They told me that if anything changed, they didn't have another opening until the following morning, but they would do what they could. Unfortunately, by about 4:00 that afternoon, he had taken a major turn for the worse. I told my husband, "We need to go to the vet," and we didn't even call ahead. When we arrived, they immediately knew something was wrong and rushed us to the back -- and this was on a busy Friday with a full waiting room. They examined him extremely thoroughly and then sat down with us and counseled us through what was happening. Sadly, we were faced with the most heartbreaking decision a pet parent can ever make. What meant so much to us was that we never once felt rushed, dismissed, or like we were imposing on them, even though they were incredibly busy. Every veterinarian, veterinary technician, and staff member treated our precious boy with such compassion and dignity. And I especially want to mention the wonderful girls at the front desk. They were every bit as compassionate and caring as the medical staff. Because everything happened so quickly, I was having a very difficult time trying to figure out how we were going to get his paw prints back to Texas. One of the women at the front desk told me she would personally pay for the postage. Since it was the middle of summer and she was concerned the prints might melt during the trip, she even offered to take them home and "bake" them herself so they would be safe to make the journey home. That small act of kindness meant more to me than she could possibly know. Losing a beloved pet is heartbreaking under any circumstances, but having it happen while you are hundreds of miles from home makes it even harder. Veterinary Associates of Galena gave our little guy the care, attention, and dignity he deserved, and they gave my husband and me compassion when we were at our most vulnerable. We cannot thank the entire team enough for everything they did for our fur baby and for us. We may have been from Texas and only in Galena on vacation, but they treated us like we had been their clients for years. If you are looking for a veterinary practice in the Galena area, I would wholeheartedly recommend Veterinary Associates. Five stars doesn't seem like nearly enough.

I can't begin to tell you how fantastic the Vets, and all the staff were to my dogs and I. You can tell that these people care about your dogs. Even though I was just in the area temporarily, the Vet caught a kidney issue in my senior ShihTzu. It doesn't matter that she is 15. It wasn't something that should wait till I was back at my usual vet. Honestly. Even though it's a small drive to Dyersville it was worth it. This Vet didn't try and take advantage by making the services for senior dogs so expensive you can't afford them. Again, if you want affordable Vet care that is excellent this is the place. Everyone that works here is wonderful.

Both of our dogs have now had their appointments and I am SO PLEASED with our experiences at this clinic. Booking our appointments and becoming established with the clinic was so easy and the front desk staff was incredibly friendly. While at our appointments the staff was friendly and greeted us upon entry. We were immediately roomed to our exam room, which I thought was awesome because the dog that walked in ahead of us was elderly and clearly was not liking my dog being near. I think the immediate rooming is great for those pets that do not do well around others and everyone gets their privacy. We had Dr Milford and Dr Rathje as our vets and both were excellent. They took the time to make our dogs comfortable in the exam room and listened to our concerns. They also have an app which allows me to easily see when my dogs are new for their next vaccinations or see any appointments I have scheduled. We received text reminders prior to our appointment and a follow-up text afterwards to see how our pets were doing after receiving their vaccines. They also called with the results of the bloodwork the same day of our appointment. As stated in another review, they do take a "no show" down payment prior to your appointment. They are very transparent about this while scheduling your appointment and explain the fee well. The money they obtain goes towards the cost of your appointment, but if you do not show up for your appointment they keep the money. If you cancel you appointment in advance they do not charge you the no show fee. As someone who works in the healthcare field, I agree entirely with what they are doing. Many patients "no show" and that open spot costs money for the clinic/providers, plus it was valuable time where they could have been helping someone else. In other words, ignore the 1 star review from the other person. DVS is a 5 star facility and I would highly recommend them!

No charge. They're no-nonsense, practical, know their business, easy to work with. Our 4-H kids got yearly notification reminders to have their pets wormed, annual shots, check-ups.
