Family Pet Veterinary Center
West Des Moines, Iowa
General Info
Family Pet Veterinary Center provides West Des Moines families with pet care services that merge personal touch with medical accuracy while reaching Iowa communities through practical planning. Every appointment starts with inquiries regarding household modifications which include new dietary elements and supplements as well as changes in energy levels and social behaviors or bathroom habits. Medical examinations proceed from head to tail while joint function, muscle tone, oral health, skin texture, weight history, and internal sounds undergo review and documentation. Family Pet Veterinary Center delivers preventive exams and vaccinations alongside internal testing and weight management support while providing pain management and dental evaluations plus in-house treatments for allergies, ear infections, and mobility issues. Veterinary professionals might suggest staggered appointments for chronic conditions or seasonal checkups based on the pet's age and health status. Advanced care may involve laboratory tests and imaging studies when symptoms evolve over time or behavioral changes indicate more complex conditions. Clients depart equipped with both handwritten notes and digital access to their charts, timelines, and reminders. Optional follow-ups are tailored to pet type condition severity and lifestyle. Families managing numerous pets or caretakers frequently select either bundled visits or staggered pacing to enhance convenience. Depending on need professionals might suggest behavior plans or home mobility changes. Family Pet Veterinary Center endeavors to deliver veterinary services in West Des Moines with enhanced predictability while reducing stress factors. Through the development of consistent practices while adjusting to Iowa living conditions, property owners gain the ability to take early actions and maintain awareness while receiving continual support throughout their journey.

Best vet around! We are so happy we changed to Family Pet Vet. I am so happy with their care. They are great to the whole family. They let my four year old listen to his dogs heartbeat. I could not ask for a nicer and caring place to take my dogs! I forgot add that they also sent me a homemade thank you card (though it looks very professional) and it is so cute and thoughtful.

This vet's negligence cost me a trip to the emergency vet to fix what he messed up. The ladies at the front desk were great but the tech was terrible. He wouldn't listen to me about my shepherd mix or her history. Tried to tell me I had never properly vaccinated her when I had records from my vet in KC. Then the vet, Dr Tim, was the same way. I was very clear that my dog had a history of GI tract issues and that she had been on prescription food for it for years now. He prescribed her an allergy medicine for some itching she had been experiencing but never mentioned any side effects it might have. Less than two days later I had to rush her to the emergency vet for severe diarrhea and vomiting only to find out that a side effect of the medication he prescribed her is upsetting a GI tract and shouldn't be given to dogs who have a history of a sensitive GI tract. The next day I called this office to make a complaint to whoever owned the practice and received a phone call back from Dr Tim. All he had to say for himself was that it seemed like he "definitely dropped the ball communicating the side effects with me" and that he was sorry. I will never take my dog back to this place. I recommend anyone who does to make sure they specifically ask for any and all side effects of any medication prescribed to their animal because clearly that is not important information to these people to communicate up front.
