Took my cat in for sneezing and congestion. After multiple tests including a syringe to the bladder for a urine sample I was given some pills for thyroid. Did nothing for the congestion which only got worse. Google was more effective in finding an OTC cat safe antihistamine which cleared him right up. I don't feel they listened or took the symptoms described in to consideration, only thought of a general cat of his age and what was common. He may have thyroid issues too, but that wasn't my primary concern when he can't breathe properly. Fixing the plumbing while the house is on fire. Read Less

I have been taking my cat to see Dr. Benham for 8 months for diabetes. Dr. Benham has been nothing but caring and passionate. My cat has struggled as we were figuring out the correct dose of insulin, changes with food and added medications and I couldn't be happier with their patience. My cat is doing great now and I am so thankful! Thank you to Dr. Benham and the rest of the Animal Doctors staff! Read Less

Our cat Missy has been a patient at the clinic for about 4 years now. All of the docs are very attentive and gentle. They're passion for their work is evident, and they're attuned to the fear and anxiety that Missy feels when she visits. That's not been true at every clinic where she has been a patient. The support staff are friendly and helpful. We happily recommend Animal Doctors to others. Read Less

Decent vet... Convinient, clean and personable. We left them because they kept providing expensive bandaids to my dogs complex issues. I am not going to fault them for never actually coming to a solution for my high-maintenance dog. Recommend this vet for anyone in the area. They are smart people that work here. Read Less

I had surgery scheduled for my pup at Animal Doctors for close to two weeks. Her surgery date is in a few days. My dog has a busted ligament in her back leg, and due to her being a larger breed, she is in a lot of pain, and there is a great risk that her other ligament will blow . We get a call today, three days before her 3000$ surgery, for the receptionist to tell us that they are not equipped to do the surgery and that I need to go elsewhere. She seemed like she couldn't care less and she didn't seem to understand why I was so outraged. We have been waiting for two weeks; they told me this is the surgery they needed to do two weeks ago... How were they not aware they weren't equipped to do it then? Now my dog has to withstand pain for however long it takes us to get an appointment at a fancy specialist. Which will likely be a couple more weeks. Which maximizes the chance of my dog needing another 3000$ surgery on her other leg. Meanwhile my husband and I are struggling to live. Other than that, when I took her in previously to get her leg checked out, I was given very minimal information and the doctor never graced me with his prescence to give me the info. A nurse gave me the info and she wasn't aware of what type of drug was given to my dog to counter the sedative. Very unsatisfied and digusted with this place. They don't think things through. Or they do and they just don't give a damn. UPDATE: The receptionist called the specialist for me and made an appointment. I felt this was their duty in the first place after they hastily canceled surgery but am really happy they made the effort to fix the mistake. Read Less

I highly recommend this vet clinic! Dr. Sanders is absolutely fabulous, all our pets (cats and dog) love him. He is very gentle and compassionate, and he always takes the time to pet and talk to our pets and put them at ease as he examines them. I wish we had discovered this clinic years ago! Added bonus - the prices are very reasonable. But the most important thing is that our pets get excellent care here! Read Less

Dr. Lloyd is an incredible vet! She takes the time to teach me about the care she is providing for my cat with great detail and is sure to demonstrate an incredible amount of love to her along the way. The entire staff is respectful, welcoming, and efficient. I completely trust the decisions made by Dr. Lloyd and her team and would recommend any pet parent to visit this clinic! Read Less

Anyone who loves their pet in the Des Moines area should consider bringing them here. Dr Lloyd was outstandingly knowledgeable and caring. She followed up with me a few days and a few weeks after our initial appointment to check on our pup, took her time in our appointment to cover everything, gave us tons of resources, and acknowledged our concerns.

We have been coming to Animal Doctors for about 5 years. Seriously the best care for your pet in the area. Fair prices, and the staff is AMAZING. They are very personable, and will remember you, and your furry babies every time. We unfortunately moved to another state two years ago, and still make the 6 hour drive every year to update shots (they're that good). Highly recommend. Read Less

Dr. Lloyd is the greatest vet I've ever had! She is so caring and passionate about animals. She takes the time to really evaluate your animals, their illnesses, and gets to know them. She follows up days later and takes the time to explain what's going on to me. Thank you!Read Less

I am very grateful for the care and support that my dog and I have received from Dr. Sanders and Dr. Lloyd at Animal Doctors. They helped me find solutions for behavioral issues for my dog. Their kindness, attention, and compassion for our situation was outstanding. I would highly recommend the veterinarians and staff at Animal Doctors. Read Less
