We had updates throughout the day with photos and a report card at the end of the day. It really brought us peace of mind because our pup can be very anxious. We loved the photos especially and all the activities they offered for his stay. Highly reccomend and we will for sure use them again in the future. Koda says thanks!

Activities are varied every day. We get pictures sent to us 2x a day and we get a "report card" each day. This past week we boarded him for a couple of nights and that was also an excellent experience for Rocky and for us. Once again we got pictures so we knew he was having a lot of fun and being well cared for. The key to the success of Angelic Paws is the owner, Kristin. You can tell that she loves the dogs and she is so good with them. Angelic Paws is a great addition to Galena!

Definitely would NOT recommend Stone Hollow for boarding. Left my dogs last week and it was awful…read more My 8 year old girl came back with the worst ear infection of her life with dirty, bleeding ears, missing fur spots and scratches all around her head and neck and back that broke the skin. The staff said they never noticed this. To me, this signals negligence and a total absence of affection. My dogs' feet were never even allowed to touch the grass. "if we let them out on the grass, it would become a mud pit", they said.. My sweeties were kept in concrete kennels or gravel runs only for 8 days. They weren't allowed to play with the other dogs, even though I gave permission. When I asked if they had fun at playtime with the others, staff told me that I hadn't "given them permission" to let them be with other dogs. This is a lie and made me furious. Website says they have cameras so you can watch them but when I called from Mexico to get the code, she said they were for "internal use only." When I emailed them about my concerns, they ignored them. I'm very sad my dogs were in hell while I was enjoying my honeymoon. Please find a better place to take your dogs.

I would (and do) recommend Stone Hollow Dog Training for boarding & training to all my friends &…read morefamily. Tory & Abby live at the kennel (literally) as their home is located on the same property as the kennel. The location is excellently located in a wooded area where Tory does his dog training. Charlie & Coco (our two min-pins) get so excited when we make the turn about 2 miles from the kennel they can hardly contain themselves. Our min-pins are VERY hyper (nature of the breed); however, whenever they get back from Stone Hollow for the weekend all they can do is sleep, sleep, sleep, from all of the fun they had playing with the other dogs. Not only is their boarding top notch, Tory is a world-class trainer. He has done things for our dogs I could never have imagined possible. After only 1 week of training our dogs listen. They know sit & most importantly they now behave on a leash.

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.

Their DVD's are full of information that gets results immediately. TMD website has great videos as well. YouTube channel has more extensive training. I was able to get my girl to be off-leash in a national dog park within 1 week with perfect recall. Obedience training is a snap, learning new tasks at the rate of 2 per week. Highly recommended!
