Victoria Vail

Victoria is the owner of Dog Days Dubuque. She grew up in Dubuque and attended Dubuque Senior High School. She then pursued an Animal Science degree with a focus on companion animals at Iowa State University. After her graduation from Iowa State in 2018, Victoria worked at a vet clinic where she gained valuable animal handling experience and insight on veterinary medicine. Victoria’s animal care experience includes dogs and cats, a variety of farm animals, and exotic animals. Victoria is excited to combine her passion for dogs with her education and experience to enhance the lives of dogs and their owners in the Dubuque community through Dog Days Dubuque.

Victoria enjoys connecting with and caring for each dog that attends daycare. Each dog truly becomes one of her own the first day they join daycare. Watching them learn and grow and being able to provide this kind of service for the dogs and clients is the greatest reward. Victoria also leads Basic Obedience and Puppy Classes in the evenings and loves being able to help owners build confidence and strengthen their relationships with their dogs.
