Heart of Ankeny Animal Hospital

"Love this vet & team! Great experience every time we visit. Feels great to know they are taking great care of our Barkley! Honest, straight-forward, customer service driven, knowledgeable, and professional. Highly recommend!"

"We have 2 Dachshunds. Our oldest one has IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease). We had been going there for years. He was declining and in serious pain. We were told he absolutely needed surgery and we were quoted $7-8K!! At one point he couldn’t stand for more than a couple seconds before falling over due to the right side losing strength and sensation. She told us once that happened he would never get use back and never get better. We couldn’t afford the surgery and we thought we were at the end with him. My wife was in a doxie group and saw something about chiropractic treatments. She asked me to look into it. I called Iowa Veterinary Wellness in Des Moines. Dr Wilke told me she has a really good success rate with laser acupuncture. She said bring him in right away. Without hesitation we went, thinking we were going to have to put him to sleep after listening to Dr Quinn for all those visits. Dr Wilke performed the procedure and we saw results immediately. After only a few sessions he was a completely different dog. Fast forward three years later and he’s still around, running, playing and acting as if nothing happened. We will NEVER step foot in Heart of Ankeny again. Yes they’re only a mile from home, but worlds away from what I want my animals around."

"I've been bringing my dog to Heart of Ankeny Hospital for over 3 years for her vaccinations and check ups. I find the staff and doctors very caring and communicative and have nothing but confidence and good things to say about them. I also like their location. Easy to get in and out of the parking lot and lots of parking. Their fees are reasonable and I don't hesitate to recommend them."

"Dr. Quinn was incredible. Great at easing my anxiety as I am an over protective and easily concerned dog mom. The blood results came back in ONE DAY and she sent me a personal email. Not too mention, the little light for when someone is saying goodbye to an animal was on when I got there. So sorry for those pet owners and I suspect Dr. Quinn was a part of that appt as when I arrived the tech told me the doc was finishing up another appointment. When Dr. Quinn came in she was positive and pleasant and I commend her for being able to make that transition so gracefully. All around a great experience."

"The doctors and staff at Heart of Ankeny are the best. We have confidence that our dogs are getting the best care. From the front desk to all the techs and vets we know they are bringing all their skills and love for animals everyday. Thorough is the word I use for the communication and research by the vets. They run tests based on records they have on file and will reach out to ISU veterinarians and other doctors when they want input from their wisdom. I believe they have saved the lives of two of our dogs, or at least allowed them to live longer. This is everything to us. All who we have recommended to take their pets to Heart of Ankeny have said the same impressive things about this practice. It is a loving welcoming environment. We are thankful for Heart of Ankeny"
