Animal Hospitals near Des Moines

“I just brought my 8 wk GSD puppy Ellie here for a wellness exam. The clinic is modern and pleasant, and all the techs I worked with were great. Dr. Deal is awesome and very personable. She took a lot of time to go over new puppy info and gave me some great tips. My puppy fell asleep next to her in the exam ?. We got everything we needed including flea prevention and the tech was nice enough to schedule our next vaccine appt in the room. I got a call/text next day for fecal results. They also have an app which is really convenient. Overall really satisfied.

Yes, the prices are on the higher side, but I feel confident in the care and comfortable in the environment so it seems worth it so far.

Thank you Saltwater Animal Hospital!“

“Dr. Norstrem has been caring for our four-legged family members for twenty-eight years. He is simply the best veterinarian in the area. We love Dr. N. and his entire staff and so do our pets. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would.“

“I absolutely love Dr. Ivy, we have been clients for 12 yrs. Her staff is always pleasant. And they accommodate my families' need to be with our four-legged family members whenever possible (all the time). Most places make you wait outside and not be with your pet during "their" doc appt. I don't trust any doctor, human or pet, that won't allow you to be with them. My pet can't talk, so I need to be there to say what can and can not happen, and I know at times, time is of the essence.
Dr. Ivy to me is an old school doc. She tells you what the issue/s are, what she would do if it were her pet, and then let you decide what's best for your pet. I never feel pressured into a bunch of tests, (like some vets do) and the fact that she takes the time to call the next day ( ex: after surgery, dental etc) to see how your pet is doing...not her staff...she personally calls. To me, that's a person who is in it for the pet. My pets will see Dr. Ivy as long as they live or as long as doc is in business.“

“If you're looking for a team of professionals and services for your furry family members at reasonable prices? Please give this veterinarian clinic a try. I have 2 doggos and 4 cats, and they are very well taken care of here. I have seen both veterinarian doctors (Dr. Lee and Dr. Pollack), and both do great work. Nothing but good experiences during my visits.“

“This Veterinary
Clinic is the best. They really care about your animal, But they will never Convince you to spend thousands of dollars on a lost cause. You Might not want to say goodbye, But they will never use You're emotional Connection to your pet against you just to make money.“

“Had a great experience. Not a long wait time. Got my cat taken care of within an hour. Very nice doctor, and very knowledgeable.“

“This is the most caring group of pet loving healthcare professionals that you could ever hope to find for your fur baby.

They loved our pets as if they were their own, and gave them the best care.“

“Best Vet Hospital in Auburn! The Doctor and staff are very kind, caring, compassionate, patient and understanding! 10/10 would recommend!“

“I love this place.

They are helpful and typically available. Have yet to have to wait for weeks when my pet had a serious health issue.

This is one of the two places I typically recommend to people who need a reliable vet asap.

Side note:

Now that their lobby is open, I’ve been able to take a step inside and I found that they had a pet cat in the lobby who is very sweet.

Not sure if the cat is still around since it’s been some months since I was here, but I thought the friendly pet coming to get some pets was just so sweet.“

“Attentive staff. Positive experience. Helping others with a focus on Goodwill. Thanks BVH!“

“Called to ask about Health Certificates for my dog to be able to fly. Was quoted a price lower than the other places that I’d called and was able to schedule for later that day. The exam was thorough, speedy and easy to get the necessary documentation for travel. I would recommend to anyone in need of care for their pet.“

“We have been bringing our cat to Dr. Whitty for over four years and have always been so impressed with her passion, love, and knowledge around cats (and I'm sure other pets also!!!). The other staff at Burien Veterinary Hospital are also exceptional! They are friendly, knowledgeable, and so good with all the pets who come in! I can't recommend Burien Vet and Dr. Whitty enough!“
