Eastown Animal Hospital
Des Moines, Iowa
General Info
The local pet community is aware of the kind and thorough care that Eastown Animal Hospital provides. Eastown Animal Hospital Des Moines lives in harmony with the things we profoundly cherish, namely, pets and people. Observe how your brain communicates beyond speech as you scan your home for potential “energy” movement areas. Examinations begin with the close observation of the animal, before any handling has taken place. Staff observe the animal’s body language, which includes the way it looks into people’s eyes and responds to talking voices, as well as how it moves towards or away from motion. Elements of care appear in fragmentary sequences. The investigation of the pet’s skin, coat, and joints is based on the manner of anchoring its body as well as leaning or stiffening movement. Subsequent checks of teeth, abdomen, and heart rhythm assist in evaluating trust. Pet owners simultaneously share the background information on changes in their daily routine noises and walking and feeding routines. Eastown Animal Hospital offers a broad spectrum of services such as initial life stage, diagnostics, energy, dental health, joint age monitoring and disease mapping. Timeframes are behavior based. Some dates go really fast because the body language screams consent. Some stages are spread out in a gradual continuum allowing the animal to accomplish one step at a time. Pets seeking recalibration before proceeding are able to find quiet areas and pause zones throughout the promenade. The focus of post-visit care and management is on household translation. Monitor sleep tendencies during the customary reintroduction and watch for silent signs like family withdrawal, appetite loss, and spatial guarding. It is recommended to monitor timing alongside symptom tracking rather than focusing solely on symptoms. At what time does restlessness make its appearance? During which daily period do hesitations reach their maximum frequency? Eastown Animal Hospital aids families in Des Moines and surrounding Iowa areas by understanding that behavior is a living language animals use for communication beyond the mere moments of crisis. The practice offers various services including Prescription Medications, Wellness Exams, Dental Care, Oncology, and Homeopathy among others. These treatments ensure that your pet thrives at every stage of its life, from routine checkups to sophisticated medical and surgical care. Pet owners value the staff’s expertise, compassionate communication style, and ability to explain medical decisions clearly. Whether it is the senior pet care or urgent health issues, they strive to ensure that clients connect with the staff anytime they visit so that there can be consistency in service delivery. The clinic also plays an important role in educating pet owners on preventative health strategies. Eastown Animal Hospital’s community engagement efforts lay a solid foundation for responsible pet ownership. New and returning clients consistently praise the practice’s ability to blend modern veterinary approaches with its welcoming and professional environment.

So crazy! I liked this place until they hit me with a surprise bill! I called before my follow up appointment to make sure it was indeed free. I was told yes follow ups are free. Additionally, I asked before leaving if I was good to go... So when I got this bill for that appointment. I was quite surprised. They informed me it was must have been some miscommunication before my appointment and because I rushed out after.... What?? I got the all good from the front desk, but I rushed out?? I will not go to a business that pushes the blame on their customers or simply won't accept any responsibility.

You know you're at the right place when your normally anxious dog willingly lets the staff at Eastown Animal Hospital perform medical procedures without care and incident.This place has friendly, caring Vet Tech staff. A knowledgeable support manager whose retired (Vet) father previously ran Eastown. A receptionist interested in getting you answers and scheduling you need. Vets that expertly perform surgeries, immunizations, diagnosis and treatment plans to keep your pet happy, spry and enduring.We recently had a surgical treatment performed on our dog. We had confidence and trust because any question we had was answered by the Vet and status/follow up calls were given to keep us abreast of any concerns or recovery timeline while we waited for our pooches return. Post op went amazingly well.To date, we have had two of three Vets on the premises: Dr. Severs and Dr. Wert. Both offer excellent care and are easy-going around our munchkin, which sets our mind at ease. Prices are reasonable without sacrifice of treatment. In my opinion, they are carrying on the awesome legacy of original veterinarian Dr. Denhart.

The staff at Eastown are absolutely amazing! You can tell that they truly care about each and every pet that comes into the clinic. I've been taking my pets to Eastown for the last 5 years and all 3 of them got exceptional care! A year ago I had to have my cat put down as she was suffering from kidney failure. The staff at Eastown made sure my precious kitty was comfortable throughout the whole process and that my mom and I were able to say our final goodbyes. Putting a pet down is never an easy decision as they are a part of your family, but having the love and support from all the staff made it less stressful. I will continue to bring both of my dogs to Eastown and every other future pet I have (which I know will be many).

The staff has been taking care of my boys since they were pups. Not only do they love on my boys as much as I do, they take care of me! My oldest has been through a couple surgeries and many other ailments. Easttown has always treated me with kindness and compassion. On a move to Florida Dr. Denhart took the time out of his busy day to walk me through icing down my dog who was suffering from heatstroke. I was in Georgia. He could have just told me to go to the nearest vet but he did not. He stayed on the line until Petey started to come around. It was after that that I decided to only go to Eastown. Many years later and a new doctor ( not so new now) Dr. Severs, Scott, Bubbs and the rest are like family. My dogs could not be in bettet hands. Thank you all!!!!!!!!!!!! Petey, Charlie and Jennifer

Eastown has cared for my animals, all six of them, since I was 12 years old; I am now 40 years old. Yes, the math equates to 1984. It all began with Duster Sazarack McTeague, then Dandelion who were both outdoor kitties and succumbed in that life. After those significant losses, I decided that any future cat would be indoors only, and that is when Bunny the cat came into my life from the ARL. Although we kept her indoors, she almost died at 6 months of age due to ingesting a small bell from a cat toy that had corroded in her stomach. Thank goodness for the staff at Eastown that discovered the bell and performed the surgery to remove it; which saved her life. I was blessed to have my beloved companion, Bunny for 19 years until her passing in 2009 with Dr. Denhart at her side on the day of his retirement. She came in with him, she went out with him which was only fitting. Growing up in Pleasant Hill, this was the logical place to go, however, even though I moved to the other side of town years ago, I can't imagine going elsewhere. From Bubs to greet you, to the Technicians; Scott, Michael, Ashley, and Jen and certainly can't forget Dr. Seavers who took over after Dr. Denhart, they take the time to get to know you as well as your pet(s). After Bunny passed, it took some time, however we, (ok really me) brought a stray kitty, "Boo", into our home. Once again, Eastown saved his life as he was riddled with worms. We are also blessed with our 12 yr old lioness "Pumpkin" and our rambunctious 5 yr old pooch, "Artemis" that we found at the ARL as well which both, thankfully, have not given us much to worry so far. My only complaint about Eastown is that I wish they offered a multi-pet discount. :)

After those significant losses, I decided that any future cat would be indoors only, and that is when Bunny the cat came into my life from the ARL. Although we kept her indoors, she almost died at 6 months of age due to ingesting a small bell from a cat toy that had corroded in her stomach. Thank goodness for the staff at Eastown that discovered the bell and performed the surgery to remove it; which saved her life. I was blessed to have my beloved companion, Bunny for 19 years until her passing in 2009 with Dr. Denhart at her side on the day of his retirement. She came in with him, she went out with him which was only fitting. Growing up in Pleasant Hill, this was the logical place to go, however, even though I moved to the other side of town years ago, I can't imagine going elsewhere. From Bubs to greet you, to the Technicians; Scott, Michael, Ashley, and Jen and certainly can't forget Dr. Seavers who took over after Dr. Denhart, they take the time to get to know you as well as your pet(s). After Bunny passed, it took some time, however we, (ok really me) brought a stray kitty, "Boo", into our home. Once again, Eastown saved his life as he was riddled with worms. We are also blessed with our 12 yr old lioness "Pumpkin" and our rambunctious 5 yr old pooch, "Artemis" that we found at the ARL as well which both, thankfully, have not given us much to worry so far. My only complaint about Eastown is that I wish they offered a multi-pet discount. :)
