Our comment from InfoVet about Lena Veterinary Clinic:

Comprehensive Care for Farm and Companion Animals

Lena Veterinary Clinic stands out as a versatile practice in Lena, IL, uniquely equipped to serve both large animal clients with 24/7 emergency services and small animal patients. While small animal emergencies are referred to specialized facilities, the clinic provides exceptional routine and acute care for domestic pets, ensuring that owners of dogs, cats, and even exotic animals like pigs receive professional attention. Their dual capability makes them a central hub for the community's diverse veterinary needs.

Compassionate and Knowledgeable Veterinary Team

The heart of the clinic is its dedicated staff, frequently praised for their kindness, patience, and deep expertise. Veterinarians such as Dr. Fritz, Dr. Fiedler, and Dr. Ken are highlighted for their thorough examinations and gentle handling, even with anxious or aggressive animals. Clients appreciate how the team takes the time to explain diagnoses, post-operative care, and treatment options without pressure, fostering a relationship built on trust and transparency. Their ability to connect with both pets and their owners creates a welcoming environment that many describe as family-like.

Exceptional Emergency Response and Availability

One of the most celebrated aspects of Lena Veterinary Clinic is its responsiveness during critical moments. Multiple reviews recount instances where the team provided life-saving care outside of standard business hours, including late nights, weekends, and even home visits. Whether managing terminal illness with compassion, performing emergency surgeries for injuries, or offering after-hours advice, the staff goes above and beyond to ensure animal safety. This reliability is particularly valued by residents and travelers alike, who feel secure knowing help is available when needed most.

Advanced Diagnostics and Fair Pricing

The clinic is equipped with modern technology, including up-to-date X-ray and diagnostic imaging services, allowing for accurate assessments of conditions ranging from dental issues to complex internal problems. Despite the high level of service and advanced equipment, clients consistently note that the pricing remains fair and reasonable. The combination of top-tier medical care, competitive rates, and the convenience of online scheduling makes Lena Veterinary Clinic a highly recommended choice for comprehensive pet health management.

Negative experience: They only care about farm animals not domestic pets

Jill McCauley Posted on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: I just recently moved to the area from suburb of Chicago. I have a Yellow Lab and a Rottweiler that went for their first visit here today. After visiting 2 other vets in the area prior to today's visit at Lena vet I like this one the best and believe this is going to be my babies new vet. Very thorough and friendly and especially good with my two fur babies. It means ALOT to me who is taking care of my dogs. They are my WORLD. Thanks Lena vet for taking such good care of my two ❤️ babies. Will definitely be their new hometown doctors.

Fantastic experience: After the passing of my previous cat, I knew I wanted to try out a new vet clinic. After adopting a new cat, Otter, with a bum leg I decided to try taking him to Lena for his first check up. They were patient with my questions and did a thorough check up where they discovered he needed a dental. I am so impressed with the debrief of his surgery, what to expect for aftercare, and just overall time they took to explain everything was something I can say the last clinic I used severely lacked. I am very grateful to this clinic and feel like I will always walk away from there feeling informed and that my pet was taken care of!

Fantastic experience: Our dog Scout took a sudden turn for the worse as he had terminal lung cancer. My wife and I were staying at the local KOA and went to Lena Vet as they were nearby. I arrived right as they opened and they did not hesitate to rush Scout in and provide end of life care for him. The whole team provided amazing care and compassion for Scout. We live in Freeport now and will use Lena Vet without hesitation for our other dog Charlie. Thank you Lena Vet for being there!

The staff was all extremely helpful and caring. Thanks guys for taking good care of our boy. He was a breeder dog so this is all new to him. We love him and are happy to have him with your care.

Courtney Swanson Posted on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had called at the last minute abou a small under nourished kitten that the mother cat was not caring for so I took it in. I could see the little one had a few issues that needed to be tended to. They were able to see her shortly after I called. I was given some meds and other instructions for her to keep an eye on. The Dr. was friendly and informative and was kind and gentle with his care for her tiny self. I can not thank them enough for the great care. Wonderful staff also.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful care! My dog suffered an injury that required sutures and they got her right in. Excellent care and very reasonably priced.

Betty Deen-Armbruster Posted on Google 5 years ago

Negative experience: I explained to them that my fur baby had been treated by another vet for 2 weeks and despite xrays and blood test had lost half her body weight, was extremely weak, and was going to die if I didn't find the problem soon, but they refused to take her without payment at the time of service. Guess money outweighs life.

Scott Torkelson Posted on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: We were camping at the Lena KOA when our min pin decided to lunge at dogs walking by and wound up dislocating his leg in two places. It was after hours on a Friday night, Dr. Alec Frits and his awesome assistant took care of our dog within 2 hours - x-rays, anesthesia, set his leg, checked a 2nd round of x-rays, even trimmed his nails per our request as he was relaxed. We also expected to pay more than we did considering it was after hours. They offered their availability throughout the weekend as we were staying at the campground. We are extremely grateful and happy with their ad hoc service, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND Lena Vets.

Tracy Diestelmeier Posted on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The pet health care staff are top of the line in knowledge and caring for pets, truly as if they were their own. Our first experience was unfortunately to diagnose and then put down our 19-yr-old adopted cat, our second experience was to spay our newly adopted cat. I also love how they allow young students to observe, job shadowing a potential career interest, serving the communities in our northwest IL area.

Caroline Posted on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Fiedler was thorough and took really good care of my cat. He was super patient even with my cat (who is quite large) fighting him the entire time. My cat is now up and playing again like I haven’t seen from him since he was a kitten.

Fantastic experience: On a Sunday at 7AM Brandon was called out to my house because it was time for my good boy to go. Brandon showed up and I think my family was a little apprehensive because he was a young guy but he turned out to be amazing and compassionate through the whole process. Also the clinic themselves were great, everyplace in Freeport turned us down and directed us to Rockford while Lena was willing to come right to our house in Freeport. Thank you lena vet clinic.

Jason P. Hamilton Posted on Google 6 years ago

Negative experience: Money money money That was all they wanted. Didn't care about our loss. The vet actually laughed at my wife on the phone. Showed zero compassion during the time. I know it was after hours but show compassion. Three phone calls and the first thing they were worried about was the MONEY. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO THIS BUSINESS.

Dayna Yoder Posted on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best most kind hearted small animal vet in the area. Even when specific vets are not on call they will still come in for emergencies if they are needed

Debbie Adcock Posted on Google 7 years ago

Negative experience: The vet nor office staff did not follow up on a fax from other vet, nor did they make a phone call, instead cut my dog open 6 inches for exploratory surgery. They knew they were wrong, said that was something to learn from, never ever bring your dogs there. Nala has been through alot of pain and suffering and infections.You have yet to make it right. You should pay for her follow up care and medications.

Brian Schaible Posted on Google 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Can't ask for a better vet clinic. Dr. Fiedler specializes in small animals. The entire staff is very knowledgeable, and compassionate. They can take care of all situations, medications, and have a nice store front with toys, pet food, etc. We lost our french bulldog to cancer this winter. Dr. Fiedler and the staff was very helpful and comforting through the whole process. Highly recommend for routine checkups to emergencies.

Judith Tyni Posted on Google 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Gracie loves the preventative care at Lena Veterinary Clinic. Gracie will be 12 years old in February 2018 and she looks and feels GREAT. Also Thanks for the treats during our last visit, very tasty.

Gary Collier Posted on Google 7 years ago

Negative experience: We've always had great service here but the last time we brought our dog in for treatment for a injury and got a different doctor who wrapped the paw too tight. He woke us at midnight crying and screaming, we cut some of the bandages off to allow better circulation and he seemed better. We ended up cutting off the rest the next day because the way his paw was bandaged he had to walk on the tip of his paw because he couldn't bend it.

Mosin Marine Posted on Google 8 years ago

Negative experience: This is a story about my recent experience with this veterinarian clinic, we got a pet pig, it needed a few shots so i call this place up since i want to do local business being that i am a Iraq war veteran, so i scheduled a visit to this clinic this morning, i had to cancel do to me having my own doctor visit, i call and cancel, later in the day i drive down (15 minute drive), walk in the door and say who i am and that im there to pick up medicine, im told that they dont know what i am talking about, the lady at the front desk went back to talk to the male doctor, he came out and started asking me question and acting like he really didnt want to help me but had to because it was his job, he was giving me attitude and being very rude, i felt like i was under Attack, all i wanted was to get the medicen for our pet pig and i felt like i was having to cross enemy lines to get what i needed, they claimed they didn't know what i needed even tho the have a computer (lack of communication on there part) finally i walked out so frustrated (and no medicine in hand) i would not recommend this veterinarian clinic to no one, dear Dr who was rude to me a marine veteran (if you dont like your job and dont want to help people and animals its time to retire) as for me i will do my business elsewhere, front desk lady was nice and lady on phone as i was driving away was also very nice, you guys need to work on communication and customer service skills

Fantastic experience: Lena Veterinary Clinic has the best staff in the area. They are very knowledgeable and will do everything possible to care for the animals in their charge. They did wonderful with our cat AJ after he was hit by a car several years ago.

Angela Brandel Posted on Google 9 years ago

Negative experience: I was new to the area and found Lena Veterinary Clinic. The small animal veterinarian was very rude and condescending to the women at the front desk. I should have left right then. He took me and my dog to a back room for a check up. He was not friendly at all, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt...maybe having a bad day? My dog, 30 lbs., was very scared and hid between my legs while we discussed flea, tick, and other medications. He asked me if she had fleas and I told him no. He asked me very sarcastically if she spent any time outside and I said yes. He told me she would have fleas. I told him she didn't because I knew what they looked like and I had dealt with them before. He then grabbed my dog by the back of the neck and threw her to the ground on her back and started to comb for fleas. She was absolutely terrified. There was not one kind, compassionate word from this man. I could tell he was very angry. He did not find any fleas...as I said. I selected a flea/tick medication and left. I couldn't get out of there fast enough and never went back. This man should RETIRE and get to anger management class! I go to Orangeville Clinic now and they are very kind, considerate, and caring both to me and my dog. Now my dog has to wear a muzzle because she is anxious and terrified when we go to the vet.

Terri Murrell Posted on Google 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Raven is 11 yrs. old and has had great care @ Lena Veterinary Clinic since she was a pup. Her recent experience for some surgery to have two cysts removed were overwhelming for her as she is an anxious dog. However the care and gentle handling she received was wonderful. When I took her back to have stitches removed, she didn't hesitate to go into the clinic. Thank you Dr. Fiedler and also your great staff!

Donna Carroll Posted on Google 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: My lab has received exceptional care from Lena Veterinary Clinic. I feel they are very knowledgeable, skilled, and up-to-date with new medications and procedures. Even in an emergency, the vet was willing to meet me at the office and provide care even though the clinic was closed. I also feel their fees are reasonable.

Clarno 4-H Club Posted on Google 9 years ago

Fantastic experience: Always great service, friendly, and gives honest opinions to help you make an informed decision. Very understanding and helpful. We use them for large and small animals and have never had any problems. Thank you for being so kind and caring!
