“Dr. Young is amazing. She's helped me with both my dog and cat on multiple occasions. Extremely talented and was able to find treatment that has worked in very tough circumstances for my animals. She definitely cares for the animals AND their owners and I'm confident any animal in her care is in the best hands possible. Please KEEP her around!! Also, in general, Waukee/Clive Vet has been great.”
“Friendly team, willing to help carry pets in. They take an interest in your pets and enough time to answer questions. Very gentle and caring with animals. Dr. DeVries is highly knowledgeable on all areas of animal health and offers helpful tips and suggestions. I needed to ask a follow up question and she called me right back. Been going there for many years (6 pets) and have referred them to others.”
“I’m so grateful for Dr. Merk and the vet tech, Maria. My dog, Dude, was always very scared and aggressive at the vet, and Maria consistently worked with me to muzzle and sedate him in the safest, calmest way possible. When I had to put him down due to sudden aggressive cancer, their empathy and professionalism made an unbearable moment a little easier. Dr. Merk helped me feel confident in the decision, and I’m comforted knowing how well they cared for Dude — and for me — in his final moments. Thank you so much!”
“They went above and beyond to make sure our pet was comfortable before he passed and they also made sure we were going to able to find a ride they even offered to pay for a Uber ride for us.”

“They made me feel very comfortable the moment I entered the office. It was my first visit and first impressions are very important. They spent all of the time necessary for the examination & I did not feel rushed at all. They were incredible with my kitty & answered all of my questions. Their follow-up after the appointment/exam was also very thorough, making sure I did not have any questions once we returned home. All in all the entire process was perfect! You cannot do better anywhere else. I am very happy to have found them.”
“Dr. Holland was very thorough and gentle with our Bolignese puppy during a vaccination and wellness visit. Since she had a severe vaccine response prior, she developed a plan going forward to minimize complications. We have used this clinic for 6 years and have always had a good experience. Costing seems to be slightly higher than other practices, but I trust my pets in their care and recommend them.”
“Affordable, Quality vetting. Dr. Jennifer and her team worked us into their day when my little pup had a ruptured anal gland. The staff was professional and friendly. She explained everything thoroughly, while caring for my dog. We will be back!!”
“Dr. Stoeker and her crew were wonderful. I recently moved to the area and haven’t established with a vet yet. I was able to get an appointment quickly by booking online. They were kind, compassionate, informative, and performed a very thorough assessment on my pup!”
“When I moved back to the Des Moines area, Dr. Chamberlain came very highly recommended by my previous Vet. She has lived up to the reputation! Loki‘s condition is doing much better and they did an excellent job with the neutering, he barely noticed they were gone lol and the price was over $100 cheaper than expected. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. My ONLY complaint is the pharmacy that they use is expensive, prednisolone is only six dollars at my previous vet and it was $60 at this pharmacy so that’s 10 times a more expensive. But they will write you a prescription and you can take it to a different pharmacy.”
“We love it here. The staff remembers our dog and treat him so wonderfully. When our last dog had health problems the staff were incredibly kind letting us know when it was time to let him go. And when that time came they were beyond generous in their treatment of him and us.”
“Would strongly recommend JCAH. I live in Colorado, but picked up a puppy in Nebraska and stayed in Iowa for a few weeks with family after i got him. Despite knowing from the start I was not going to be a long term client, the entire staff was amazing every step of the way. My little golden pup Arthur was very pleased with everyone, as was I. We even needed a quick appointment for a weird looking eye thing, and they got me in quick and many of the staff remembered us (turns out, he was fine). I saw three different vets and numerous vet techs, and everyone was great. If I am ever in Iowa again, I will surely use these folks. Thanks so much!”
“This women is amazing! She is so sweet and gentle! Truly cares about her patients! Was amazed to go in and she had not only remembered my name but my son's aswell! She is very thorough with her exams and checks everything! This is our vet for life! ♥️”
“Amazing office. We had to make the choice to let our beloved 18 year old cat go and be free of pain. Dr and staff made it the most comfortable and peaceful experience for her, and us. You can tell Dr. De Vries has a true love for animals. Highly recommend.”

“They came in on a emergency basis when my dog was passing away and helped my dog pass comfortable on their day closed and then helped us make cremation plans and everything I am so thankful for them”
“Dr. Kristin is always relatable and I feel extremely comfortable talking to her about my pets health and care needs. She is down to earth and I appreciate her care and honesty! Thank You!”
“I called a day in advance to ask if I could bring my dog, as I had some concerns, and there was no problem. They asked if I could come today or later, and I said tomorrow would be good. She said that’s fine and asked me to let her know what time is convenient. very respectful is the service that I received”
“Dr. Yonda & Staff! Thank you for your love, kindness, support, mostly the best support and medical advice any could ask for!
All Love Forever,
