About Risius Family Veterinary Service
Risius Family Veterinary Service is a trusted and caring business with two locations to serve the community. At their Eldridge office, they care for a variety of animals, including farm animals, while their small animal doctors primarily treat dogs and cats. Their Maquoketa office focuses on large animals such as cattle, camelids, and more. Despite their different focuses, the teams at both offices share the same approach: treating clients and their animals like family. Their welcoming and helpful staff are able to accommodate same-day appointments and provide excellent care. Long-time clients praise the doctors for their expertise and compassion, citing instances where costs were lower than expected. The team is known for checking in with clients after treatment to ensure the well-being of their pets and livestock. They have also been praised for their support during difficult times, such as the loss of a beloved pet. Clients highly recommend Risius Family Veterinary Service for their professional and caring team.
