We take all of our animals to Veterinary Associates and we love them. Dr. Molly is amazing, I trust her 110% with ALL of my animals! The rest of the vets are great too!
They really care and want what is best for your animal.
Thank you for being great to our goats, dogs and cats!

We are in Galena for the holiday weekend and our dog became sick. Most places would not accept emergency appointments if you weren’t already a client. We felt very fortunate to find Dr. Caitlin. She took such good care of our Ivy and made sure she would be quickly on the mend. Dr was very thorough, took time to clearly explain what was going on and genuinely cared.

This vet helped save our dog’s life. After hours on a Friday night I couldn’t get in touch with our vet in Dubuque, which supposedly offers 24 hour emergency care, after my dog choked on a toy and stopped breathing.

My husband gave her the heimlich, got her breathing, but the toy was still stuck in there and she was still clearly in distress, barely breathing, coughing up bloody foam.

We called vet after vet in Dubuque, and even ones that said they offered 24 hour emergency care, only had an answering service out of state, and none of them connected us to the actual vet, including our own.

As a last ditch effort, I started calling vets in the surrounding smaller towns. None of them answered. Just when I thought I’d have to watch my dog die painfully in front of me the on call doctor answered the phone at Veterinary Associates-Galena. She was the only vet in the tristate area to do so.

We told her what was happening, and even though we weren’t her current client, she told us to bring our dog in and she’d meet us there.

From the very beginning her and her associate treated us with compassion, care, and pure kindness. You can tell they truly care. Thank you doesn’t feel strong enough, but we’ll say it anyway a thousand times over.

Even though we live in Dubuque we will now be taking our dogs and cat to Veterinary Associates in Galena. Thank you again for everything you did that night, and for being such compassionate people.

Dr. Shafer neutered our rescue dog last week. She is a 72 lb Shep, and about 4 yrs old. I brought her home same day with pain meds she has not needed. The incision was barely noticeable, was never itchy. It was a great job so professionally done! Thank you, Dr, Shafer!

Great group of vets here. Our dog has had significant dental problems and after taking her to 3 different vet clinics we finally found one that cared for our dog and was truly concerned for her well being. Dr. Morris has been great to work with and does anything in her power to prevent expensive procedures what are both hard on my pocketbook as well as our pet. I have been impressed with the care these people have provided to our pet and would recommend to others.

The staff were very friendly, and listened and answered my questions with the knowledge they have. What a caring team they have. My dog Dodger is one of their patients. He is always happy to see them. I would tell anyone that their pets would be in good hands with this staff.😊

The veterinarians, techs, and receptionists at Veterinary Associates are the best around. They came to our home personally to care for our dog Spike. They have taken care of our remaining dogs with love and compassion....just recently helping me through an emergency situation with our new puppy. I can't say enough good things about them!!! We will ALWAYS be customers of Vet Associates!!
