Veterinarians in Des Moines

“Great service as always. Very kind, knowledgeable, compassionate, and fair prices. Would recommend to other pet owners.“

“My sister purchased/rehomed a little betta from Offer Up. Some months passed and we noticed a lump developing on Ninja. It grew so big and fast that by the time we realized he was no longer swimming as much. Every time I glanced over at his tank he was laid on his leaf bed. He was barely eating and constantly taking these deep breaths, almost like he was gasping. It was so hard watching him suffer this way. We wanted to give him a fighting chance and searched far and wide for an aquatic vet. I want everyone to know just how amazing Dr. Lee is. From beginning to end! Dr. Lee showed so much compassion and reassurance. She and her staff were able to work a miracle. She removed his tumor and quite literally changed Ninja's life. I haven't seen him move like this in a while? thank you again for granting him more time with us. Despite knowing these little guys don't live long I do admire a vet who gives every creature their absolute all! No matter how big or small ?“

“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!“
