Waukee-Clive Veterinary Clinic

We have been going to Waukee-Clive Vet Clinic since we first got a dog in 2011 and we are always so grateful for how much they care for our dogs. Our 180 pound Great Dane is big nervous baby at the vet but needed surgery to remove a tumor. The staff loved on him all day and sent me updates to let me know he was ok. From the front desk to all the veterinarians that have seen our giant babies, they are all so caring and give me the utmost peace of mind. Thank you for taking such great care of our big guy, it means so much to us.

I was able to get an appointment the next day. Sophie, my Yorkie, had a very bad mat over her right eye that occurred overnight. She received exemplary care in every way from Jenny and Dr. Olesen and I was walked thru what they were doing and the plan to remove the mat whilst treating the eye. I picked up Sophie a couple of hours later and Dr. Olesen gave me thorough instructions and medication and to let her know if Sophie experienced any distress. Julie called the following day to inquire about Sophie. Sophie is perfect and I am thankful for the loving care and follow-up provided. From beginning to end each person couldn't have been more personable or helpful. Thank you for turning a stressful situation into a safe, caring experience.

Had our first appointment with our puppy last week. The staff was super friendly and helpful and so far this seems like a great fit for us!

We live in Wisconsin, and were traveling to the Des Moines area for Christmas. Our dog mysteriously ripped her dewclaw loose on 12/24. We needed immediate vet attention & they were able to accommodate us on Christmas Eve! Everyone we encountered was professional and kind. The care our pupper received was top-notch. And the cost for the services was reasonable. Thank you!

Our dog gets very anxious when he is groomed and it is difficult to find someone willing to groom him. The staff at Waukee-Clive Vet Clinic is working to find the right combo of anti-anxiety meds to help our dog with this issue. They are so helpful.

Dr Young has been an EXCELLENT veterinarian regarding our dog Milo !! She is always attentive, friendly & professional…. We went with her service about 7yrs already & will absolutely recommend Dr. Young !!

Before reading my review of this, I don’t want it to come off as a negative review, but I do want to share how I felt about how everything was handled. My dog recently had some eye discharge after being at Paws and Pints, which seems to happen a lot lately. I just moved to the Urbandale area and was looking for a new vet, which is how I ended up at Waukee-Clive Veterinary Clinic. The staff, process, and overall experience was great and everyone was extremely kind to my dog, which I appreciated, but that’s not what this review is about. My review is focused on how his eye issue was handled. I arrived, explained the situation, and mentioned that this has happened in the past and that my old vet had provided eye drops that worked really well. I understand this was a brand new vet for us, but they ran a few tests and evaluations along with an eye fluorescein stain ($61). I was maybe in the office for five minutes, and the bill came to $237.66... It was one of those situations where you feel like you can’t say much because they are the professionals, but the whole thing didn’t sit right with me all day. To me, they knew the situation and could have simply checked his eyes for a scratch and, if nothing was found, provided the same eye drops which were listed at $43. Instead, it felt like they ran as many tests/exams as possible just to run up the bill, especially since we were new patients. They had already received his medical history from my old vet, so I feel like they knew the drops were probably all he needed. Even the person checking me out said, "I hate letting people know how much their bill is going to be," which didn’t make me feel any better considering NONE of the costs were explained upfront. Again, the staff was nice, but I don’t think it was very professional to perform multiple tests without telling me what each test would cost. It felt like, "We’re going to check this, this, and this, and your total is $237." It’s hard for me to leave anything below a three star review, but this experience stuck with me in a negative way, as I simply felt robbed for taking care of my dog.
