The Animal Hospital of Adel — Local services in Adel

• Post from 2019 I've been very pleased with the Animal Hospital of Adel. I have found the staff to be very knowledgeable, kind and respectful. I have 3 senior dogs and I believe my dogs would give them 5 stars too! * 12-28-2021 I wanted to add to the above post from 3 years ago. I now have just one senior dog :( and I need to say that I could not have possibly had a better experience. I've had dogs all my life and Dr Jen is probably the 4th Vet, I have connected with. She is by far the best. She is not only very knowledgeable she listens to you and does not dismiss your concerns. Her focus is preventive care, but she is respectful of the cost. Her staff members are also wonderful. This past year we lost our 16.5 year old Rosebud and I never felt pressured to give up on her or guilty when it was time. They cried with me when we said good bye. We are getting ready to start a new chapter with a new Baby soon and I know where we will be...

I have been extremely satisfied with the care and treatment of my dogs by Dr. Jennifer and her staff. Having hunting and field trial Labradors I need a vet that can go beyond the normal city veteran’s knowledge and care of household pets. Dr. Jennifer has been as good as her predecessor (Dr. Tom Holcomb) with my labs when it comes to treating them for issues encountered in field work as well as the usual pet ailments. The information and consultation regarding issues with our dogs provided by Dr. Jennifer and her staff has been excellent. She and her staff are also compassionate for the animals they treat. We recently had to put down our fourteen year old lab and it was like they had lost a member of their family too. There are a lot of veterans in my area of West Des Moines, but I drive to The Animal Hospital of Adel because that’s where my dogs get the care and treatment I...

Our 5 year old hunting dog was impaled in the chest when he leapt into some brush. We called our current "ahem, former" vet for an emergency visit. They asked for pictures, then said take him to the emergency vet clinic in Des Moines. We called The Animal Hospital of Adel and they said bring him in. We had never been a customer, but they were willing to scarf down their lunch quick to sew up our dog. We have a new vet to go to, The Animal Hospital of Adel. We deeply appreciate the quick, competent and caring service we all received there. Since our first emergency visit we have also been back for routine annual visit, and monthly while on a walk, just come by to use the scale. When we come in to use the scale we are welcomed as family, our dog gets spoiled and everyone is smiling. It is almost like travel back to a more innocent time just to get my...
