Colonial Terrace Animal Hospital

The staff and the vets at Colonial Terrace are such great and wonderful people. Always great with a smile friendly in any way they can they were there for my little girl from a puppy on to the day we had to put her to sleep with many calls to the vet and trips in with her disease. Couldn’t ask for a better team of veterinary doctors to care for her they did everything they could do for us and for her all the way to the end when she was starting to struggle. Dr. McLain, dr. Bissen, dr. Mccleary sorry if ur names are spelled wrong u three were her main vets we stuck with and u three are remarkable. The techs that are on duty and we’re on duty the day we brought her in we’re fabulous with everything and making sure we were ready every step of the way. Since this we have adopted a new puppy and we will be returning and making dr McLain her vet of our choice as we will use the others as well when need be but I’m a pick a dr kind person not everyone type. Thank you all for you very kind hearts thru or very hard time with our loss of our loving little girl Princess While we look forward to the new journey with the new fur baby. Great job and very highly recommend to take ur pet here they take the time to care and love your pet as much as u do.

We had a medical emergency with our Stormi and called to see if they couls get us in same day since our normal vet was out of town. We let them know what happened and they were very sympathetic and helpful over the phone and they got us in the same day. When we took her in they were very knowledgeable and helpful. We found out she was in the end stages of liver disease and possibly had cancer. The vet took really good care of us as we were scared pet owners. Dr McClain answered any questions we had, gave us different options on what we could do and how they would help and or affect her. When we asked for some time to discuss our options Dr McClain and her nurses were very patient and gave us all the time we needed to discuss what we wanted to do along with not pressuring us to take a certain route. Unfortunately, we made the difficult decision to put our precious StormStorm down so she wasnt in pain anymore. Dr and her nurse gave all the time we wanted/needed as we went through that tough and difficult experience. They checked on us numerous times and asked us if we needed anything, offered us water, and just made sure we were comfortable. We will definitely be coming back and will be requesting Dr McClain going forward. We want to say thank you to you guys for doing everything for us and Stormi and making sure all of us were taken care of. We will forever cherish the acts of kindness and just showing you guys genuinely cared.

There are no better vets. I moved out of state a few years ago and miss the amazing family that they have created here. The way they were so kind to all of my cats was heartfelt and gentle. I adopted one of mine from one of their vet techs many years ago. Lily bug had been dumped on her porch. I took her in and they helped her become part of the family. My oldest had a condition that the doctor didnt know much about so she did research to be able to help her. I had to call today to get records sent out to me and even though it has been 4 1/2 years the receptionist remembers my cats and me. We talked for at least 15 min about the cats and finding a great vet near me. There not enough words to say and share my thanks. You guys are the one only reason I wish I had stayed in Dubuque. Thank you so much!!! Much love from Granite, Chip, Lizzy, Lily Bug, and Minion.

Colonial Terrace is a great animal hospital. They were so great about getting my cat shots on time and for letting my daughter and I go back with our cat for the exam and the shots. My daughter had anxiety about handing our cat over to the vet but she was so sweet And letting my daughter come back and cuddle her kitty, I will recommend to everybody and thank you to the nice receptionist ladies, who let us have our cat on the leash because she does not like the cat carrier again they are so wonderful 😊
