“I love Starch. They really care about my dogs. Doctor Stoner is so nice and really listens to my crazy dog mom worries and actually cares to answer the dumb things I ask about even though they typically are small things. The front office staff and nurse helpers are always so super nice too. When I lost one of my dogs last year the care they took through ever aspect of the situation was amazing. I won’t take my fur kids anywhere else”
“While my dog doesn't live going to the vet, she loves seeing the vet techs and doctors (shout out to Dr. Wilke & Dr. Jaschen!) when we do have to go. Everyone is knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and professional, which definitely makes me feel comfortable entrusting my dog's health with IVWC. Their care of my dog takes the edge off when she does have to go to the vet (the treats help, too)?”
“We are very friendly and understanding. They treat your pets with very caring. When you have to put a pet down they are there for you to comfort. I’ve been going to Eastown Animal Hospital for many years.”
“I could not say enough about this clinic. We had to put our family dog to rest after 14 years with us. It was one of the hardest things I have had to do, however Dr. Knoebel and his staff were so loving and caring. They never rushed us. On the contrary, they sat with us, gave us as much time as we needed, even let us call our kids so that they could be there and let us stay with him as long as we needed to. They were so kind and we will always be grateful to them all.”
“We were fortunate to find such a friendly, knowledgeable, and understanding Clinic. We had to make the most difficult decision a pet owner has to make, to put our little Mitzi to sleep. The Veterinarian was able to help us to come to the only decision we could make with her lymphoma advancing rapidly and affecting her internal organs. We didn’t want our little girl to suffer and I think we achieved our goal. She was also struggling with gastroenteritis and they suggested a diet that gave her a life without diarrhea flare ups. Thanks to all the staff for the support.”

4115 University Ave # 200, Des Moines“Everything has been fantastic with Heartland. From the moment I first called to seeing the Vet tech and the Vet, I couldn't be more pleased. Prices are very fair and they took the time to explain everything in detail for a first time client. My one year old mini golden doodle is in good hands at Heartland. One visit is all it took for me to know where I'll be going from now on, Heartland for the win.”

Very helpful with Gollum and informing me of many new facts. I will be returning here for all my animal needs. 10/10 I would recommend to friends and family.”
“The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and I REALLY appreciate that they always start by asking if there's a certain budget they shouldn't exceed. There's no upselling and no suggestion that not being able to afford expensive treatment means you don't care about your pet. They provide great care for genuinely reasonable prices.”

2030 27th St, Des Moines“What a great veterinary clinic! The location is sort of hidden but great. It has a less clinical feel since it's outside of the main vet's home which makes you feel more comfortable. My dog has been here for at least a year and it's been great! The staff and vet are kind and knowledgeable. Prices are super reasonable and they put the animals first. Highly recommend!”

EVERYONE at South Des Moines Veterinary Center helped us with all the needed appointments and forms on short notice to ensure we can safely and legally bring our two cats with us!”
“I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Marshall and her exceptional vet tech, Alexus, during the process of importing our puppy from Iowa to Hawaii, and I couldn't be more impressed with their professionalism and expertise. Dr. Marshall's knowledge and experience in veterinary care were truly remarkable. She guided us through the complex paperwork and requirements with ease, making the whole process stress-free.Alexus, the vet tech, was equally amazing. She made sure our Nani was comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire journey, and her compassion was truly heartwarming.Dr. Marshall and Alexus went above and beyond to ensure our puppy's safe and seamless transition to Hawaii. I can't express my gratitude enough for their dedication and support. If you're looking for a veterinarian and vet tech who genuinely care about your pet's well-being and are experts in their field, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Marshall and Alexus. They are an outstanding team, and I couldn't be happier with the service they provided.”
“My family and I had to take a cat here for an emergency. We live an hour and a half away from here but they were the only people who accepted us. We had to put the cat down but the staff were very amazing.They gave us her paw prints, they gave us a hand carved box for her ashes and they even sent a letter to us with all the staff's names saying sorry for your lost. I deeply recommend going here.”
“I have been taking my babies to Highland Park for 25+ years. They have always taken great care of them! They treat my babies like their own. They are always very friendly and supportive.”
