Ive taken my cat to multiple veterinarians over the years and while theyve all been acceptable, the Ankeny Vet Clinic is second to none and truly makes you feel like family. Before I found them, I had just taken my cat to his usual vet for a regular checkup and was told that he had gingivitis, would need to have two of his teeth removed, and then was promptly given a cost estimate for surgery. With nothing but perfect checkups in the past, I was skeptical and ended up going to the Ankeny Vet Clinic to get a second opinion. We met with Dr. Dennis Riordan who explained that with my cats breed its not unusual for them to have a genetic predisposition toward developing gingivitis at a young age (6) and that my cats teeth werent bad yet. He told me that while extraction was an option and probably a necessity in the future, another option was a weekly oral rinse to reduce the infection and slow the progression of gingivitis so my cat could keep his teeth for a few more years. And here we are now, my cats teeth are 100% intact, his gums look much better, and I didnt have to pay someone to remove two perfectly healthy teeth. Dr. Riordan was awesome and it really seems like he cares and wants the best for every animal that comes through his office. That level of personal attention isnt something you can find just anywhere!

I went in there because my new puppy had badly injured her leg and I just knew it was broken. So I asked them if they could just take a look. They told me they dont take walk-ins and wernt even going to help me. But they said that they had some time (there was no other person in there but me. I heard one other dog). The vet herself was nice though I didnt catch her name. They took xrays without pain meds and were moving her leg and fighting her as she wailed in pain for over 5 min. I felt so bad for my tiny puppy ( 5 lbs). Then the xrays were soo dark that I couldnt even see my dogs bones. But I thanked them and paid the 100 dollars for the xrays. They didnt do anything to help her leg. And I had to pay 175 dollars at a different vet because the xrays they gave me were so bad. And the other place gave her pain meds before doing xrays and fixed her leg for me. And the staff was super nice there. Will not be returning to ankeny vet

My family has been bringing our pets to the Riordan Vet Clinic for years now. The quality and reliability of their service has always been top notch. They know what theyre doing, take pride in their work, and dont hesitate to share their knowledge with you as a pet owner. Over the years as my friends and coworkers have added new pets to their family, I have always highly recommended that they take their animals to the Riodan Vet Clinic. Those that have, have always had a fantastic experience. If you want someone who is knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely cares about you and your pets, you want the Riordan Vet Clinic.
