Risius Family Veterinary Service
Eldridge, Iowa
General Info
Risius Family Veterinary Service in Eldridge applies a behavior-first hands-on veterinary approach to support Iowa pet families through care based on pets' actual behaviors. During an initial consultation the clinic staff examines essential behavioral patterns including rest time, food drive, toy interest, social responsiveness and body language. The examination process involves assessing joint mobility, fur condition, ear sensitivity, muscle tension, hydration levels, gum health, and eye clarity. A holistic perspective transforms early indicators like physical contact withdrawal and stair-climbing hesitation into actionable long-term planning insights. Risius Family Veterinary Service provides wellness scheduling preventive screenings bloodwork dental reviews orthopedic care and behavior-informed treatment paths. Recommendations shift according to lifestyle context such as apartment vs. multi-pet homes or travel-heavy schedules. Instead of adhering to a predetermined schedule, the team modifies care rhythm based on each pet's temperament and attention span as well as household pacing. Throughout extended periods the clinic develops detailed profiles for each pet's behavior and baseline health while it adjusts recommendations according to family priorities. Each element from energy fluctuations to sound sensitivity and appetite variations builds a caregiving approach that combines efficiency with emotional understanding. Risius Family Veterinary Service assists Eldridge families and nearby Iowa residents in creating veterinary practices that align with both their lifestyles and pet psychologies to ensure every visit becomes a more beneficial, tranquil, and stable experience.

Dr Skye is who we usually see, we really like her. Have seen others here too and all are first class.
Follow up calls, nice touch. Sent a nice card when one of our dogs passed. Just love the Risius people. Been going here for years.

After Dr Joe Seng passed away we needed new vet Joes first recommendation was horrible in Rock Island and first vet bill was over $1000 and turned us in right away to collections because all we had at that moment was $700 so he took the $700 from us and sent to collections a $1050 bill without us even knowing the next week we dropped off the $350 and figured that was end of it til we got a letter from collections and so when we called the vet about issue they hung up on us. So my wife stopped by and showed them what happened they said not our problem so they scammed us for $2100. Fast forward 2 months and found Risius vet service and boy night and day difference and they treated us and our dog like we should be and great prices and very very helpful.

I want to thank Dr. Kim Lehman for making two "farm calls" to provide gentle care and attention to one of our sheep. It had been attacked (likely by either a coyote or the neighbor's pit bull) and was gravely wounded. Dr. Kim demonstrated professionalism and "heart" as she administered treatment to a very "sad" and hurt animal. Today, that sheep has recovered - for which I am extremely grateful.

My little Shih Tzu Sparkle was extremely ill. She had been sick for a few days and another vet said she had colitis that was supposed to be very treatable. She took a turn for the worse Thursday morning and I rushed into this clinic in a panic. They rushed me into a room where she passed away. It was extremely traumatic for me to say the least. The care and compassion of the staff was out of this world! They cried with me and hugged me after she passed away. They even sent me a wonderful card where everyone wrote a little note along with the poem Rainbow Bridge. I have been back with my other Shih Tzu Bruno with concerns and they saw me right away. The love they have for my dogs is simply amazing! I will never take my babies to any other vet other than Risius!

The staff at Risius is wonderful. They truly care about my dogs and have provided excellent care for my three dogs. When I lost my beloved Golden Retriever Jack this May, they sent a card to us and every employee wrote a nice note about Jack. This meant the world to us, as he was a treasured family member. I would never consider going anywhere else for the care of my dogs, and have recommended Risius to many of my friends. Thank you to the staff of Risius for the care, concern, and compassion that you have shown over the years. You are simply the best!!!!

My sister has brought her two dogs here for a few years, as well as my brother with his dog, so it only made sense that I bring my puppy here when I bought her in 10/12. The staff has always been friendly both over the phone and in person. I love that after both her spay and teeth pulling the staff called me to check how everything was going. The fact that they care enough to call me, has made it a lot easier for me to pick up the phone with any concerns I have regarding my puppy. I had lots of silly concerns with my little 2-3lb pup, but they were always happy to hear me out.
