For over 50 years, Holmes Animal Clinic has been a trusted name in veterinary care in Algona. Founded in 1974 by Dr. Doug Holmes, the practice has grown into a true family legacy. Today, three generations of veterinarians—Dr. Doug, his son Dr. Jeff, and granddaughter Dr. Danielle Holmes Kane—have proudly served the community’s pets and livestock with compassion, innovation, and expertise.
With state-of-the-art services such as digital imaging, laser therapy, an in-house lab, and advanced surgical care, Holmes Animal Clinic continues to combine modern veterinary medicine with a family tradition of genuine care.
Everyone is invited to join the Chamber Ambassadors as we gather at Holmes Animal Clinic on Friday, October 24th at 9:30 a.m. for the weekly Chamber Coffee.
This will be a wonderful opportunity for their team to share more about Veterinary Tech Appreciation Week (celebrated Oct. 12–18), highlight their Pet Costume Contest, and introduce their newest veterinarian, Dr. Rory Friedow.

Holmes Animal Clinic Inc. was established in 1974 by Dr. Doug Holmes. The practice continued to grow through his extreme love of veterinary medicine.
In 1991, Doug’s son, Dr. Jeff Holmes, returned home after two years of practice in Pella, Iowa. The practice showed tremendous growth with Dr. Doug providing the majority of large animal and ambulatory duties, while Dr. Jeff was committed to improving the small animal practice to where it is today. In 2003, Dr. Jeff purchased the practice from his father after he was forced to retire due to medical reasons.
Since that time, Dr. Jeff has implemented state-of-the-art equipment and services. Holmes Animal Clinic offers full in-house lab work, digital radiography, digital dental radiography, ultrasonography, endoscopy and laser therapy. Dr. Jeff has been extensively trained and offers full surgical procedures involving soft tissue and orthopedics. He receives many referral cases on orthopedic cases.
In 2017, Dr. Jeff’s daughter, Dr. Danielle Holmes Kane, joined the practice upon graduating from Iowa State University College of Veterinary Medicine. The practices continues to grow through the Holmes family’s extreme love for veterinary medicine and their patients.
