Ankeny Animal & Avian Clinic

"This place is wonderful, I first found them after my dog Bosco wrestled a raccoon & it was on the wknd. Then I decided to take my 17yr old dog there due to reoccurring eye ulcers that my usual vet clinic wasn’t able to correct after many months. The skill they had w/the test & compassion made him calm, they don’t treat him as a very senior dog. They were able to correct his eye ulcer, he’s eating better, has so much energy & enjoys his daily walks. I just want to make his remaining years the best for him & this place will help me."

"All the staff are so caring & invested in my kitties. Dr. Ball and the vet techs sit with me for 30 minutes to an hour each visit, eager to answer any questions and explain all test results & treatment options. There are measures in place to ensure my kitties can swiftly go to their room - which is quiet and calm - avoiding exposure to other animals, which has historically been upsetting for them. Dr. Ball offers numerous treatment options and alternatives to hospitalization at Blue Pearl, which would have been too expensive for us to afford. Training us how to perform treatments at home, we were able to extend our little kitty Mochi's life several months, giving us precious extra time to say goodbye to him. Staff never pressure us into any specific treatments, but objectively give the risk / benefits and cost upfront. The staffs' emotional investment in the animals and the sheer number of treatment options make this clinic a real gem."

"I never write reviews but these guys deserve it! We have 2 cats and these people could not be more compassionate for any of our concerns. They'd sit down on the floor with me and my cats and address every concern and question I have about their welfare. Yes, its a little pricier than my last vet, but I am happy to pay a little extra for the comfortability and satisfaction that I get with their care. Never once have i felt rushed or like I left with unanswered questions. This is the first time I have found that in a vet and I am so glad to have found them."

"They take EXCELLENT care of my pets! Always welcoming and fun! My dog is not afraid of going. Her name is Appletini and they made her come of shame a appletini! Brilliant!"

"Took my two bunnies to this place and the staff are so kind, caring, and accommodating. They gave them their breakfast veggies since it was a drop off visit, and continued to give me over the phone or text advice anytime I had a concern. Not changing my vet anytime soon, would 10/10 recommend!"
