Beaverdale Veterinary Clinic / Riordan Pet Hospital

Des Moines, Iowa
General Info
Beaverdale Veterinary Clinic / Riordan Pet Hospital is renowned for attentiveness to clients’ needs. Operating in Des Moines and the surrounding Iowa area, Beaverdale Veterinary Clinic / Riordan Pet Hospital knows to listen every time a pet turns away, steps back, or looks over its shoulder. The setup of the exam room allows pets to settle in their place of choice, such as the corner of a chair or a path they typically use, before attempting to touch them. The way staff hold their bodies when they approach dogs becomes increasingly awkward and unnatural. This is because the body tends to do whatever the dog’s body is doing in order to keep it level, i.e., if a dog curves its body slightly to the left, so will the handler. The cat’s body becomes stiff while human hands lower and the posture gentle. Silence is more powerful than speech because it marks passage and prevents accumulation. The domestic creature takes charge. The session is as follows. Beaverdale Veterinary Clinic / Riordan Pet Hospital provides an array of medical care services such as digestive health, endocrine monitoring, orthopedic and pain management, dietary counseling, and chronic disease monitoring. The service can only be rendered when the body is positioned accordingly. The ears have to be directed forward, breathing has to be even and the tail must not be tucked between legs. They go into the “neutral zone” when they fall off, and they have to restart rebuilding trust from there. The instructions sent home detail how to mimic movements during key stress points such as before climbing stairs, before taking medicine, and when guiding rest. The lights and aroma locations (angles) were setup in a way that the pets would always find some stable safety markers no matter where they are during their recovery. Beaverdale Veterinary Clinic / Riordan Pet Hospital, nestled in the heart of Des Moines, Iowa, caters to pet owners from all corners of the city as one movement flows into another, one silence speaks its language, and one care births another in an endless loop beyond the confines of procedures. The practice offers several services: Nutritional Counseling, Microchipping, Dental Care, Spay/Neuter, Surgery among others. These services assist pets at all stages of their lives, from regular wellness visits to sophisticated medical care needs. Pet owners value the team's expertise and caring communication style, as well as the clinic’s ability to explain and support medical decisions. From senior pet care to urgent heart problems, the team wants to build lasting relationships through consistency. The clinic also plays a critical role in educating pet owners and fostering preventive health strategies. Beaverdale Veterinary Clinic / Riordan Pet Hospital’s active community involvement also helps to build a firm basis for responsible pet ownership. New and returning clients tend to comment on the welcoming feeling and professionalism of the clinic as it continues to evolve into modern veterinary practice.

Riordan's was good for regular check ups and giving vaccinations. But when my 4 month puppy broke her leg she ended up going through additional suffering as well as us spending hundreds of dollars more in visits and an ER trip. When she was splinted for the broken leg we suggested she have a cone put on so she could not mess with the splint. The doctor disagreed, weeks later she's rechecked and we suggest again then for a cone because she had picked at her splint and gotten an infection in her toes. Our suggestion was still disregarded and they gave her an even more ridiculous wrap around her waist for the splint. Less than a week after receiving this she ended up in the ER because the wrap around her waist had bit into her leg and the skin their had rotted and died so she is now recovering from a broken leg and stitches. And all of this could of been avoided if our vet would have heeded our suggestion and put a cone on her. The vet showed no real remorse or responsibility for what happened to our dog so they will no longer be getting our business. I could never trust them again to look at one of my pets. Read Less

i, like all pet owners, hate taking my pet to the animal doctor, especially when they are hurt or sick.  The vets at Riordan Pet Hospital are always great with my animals.  Chuck Riordan was super compassionate when my cat was diagnosed with a brain tumor.  He spent a lot of time with me, discussing losing pets, discussing options, and, most importantly, telling me that it was my choice when to put him to sleep, that I knew him best, and that I would know when the right time came, regardless of what anyone else thought.  It was a wonderful, terrible experience.  I recommend this pet hospital to all of my friends with animal family members.

The setup of the exam room allows pets to settle in their place of choice, such as the corner of a chair or a path they typically use, before attempting to touch them.

This is because the body tends to do whatever the dog’s body is doing in order to keep it level, i.e., if a dog curves its body slightly to the left, so will the handler. The cat’s body becomes stiff while human hands lower and the posture gentle. Silence is more powerful than speech because it marks passage and prevents accumulation. The domestic creature takes charge. The session is as follows. Beaverdale Veterinary Clinic / Riordan Pet Hospital provides an array of medical care services such as digestive health, endocrine monitoring, orthopedic and pain management, dietary counseling, and chronic disease monitoring. The service can only be rendered when the body is positioned accordingly. The ears have to be directed forward, breathing has to be even and the tail must not be tucked between legs. They go into the “neutral zone” when they fall off, and they have to restart rebuilding trust from there. The instructions sent home detail how to mimic movements during key stress points such as before climbing stairs, before taking medicine, and when guiding rest. The lights and aroma locations (angles) were setup in a way that the pets would always find some stable safety markers no matter where they are during their recovery.
