About Us

• Passionate People, Exceptional Care We are a full-service hospital serving pets and their families in the greater Cedar Falls/Waterloo metropolitan area. About 90% of our patients are cats and dogs, but we also see a variety of ""pocket pets."" The doctors also work with the local rescues treating pets awaiting adoption. In addition to providing basic health care (physical examinations, vaccinations, spaying and neutering, X-rays and ultrasound, and 24-hour emergency coverage), surgical services include soft tissue surgery and orthopedic procedures such as knee repair and internal and external fracture repair. Surgical procedures are performed using safe inhalation anesthetics monitored electronically and by surgical assistants, in a modern surgical suite. We offer behavioral consulting to clients whose pets need help fitting into the family or other social situations to which they are exposed. This can often be the difference between a rewarding relationship and a family pet that is put up for adoption due to behavior issues. The newest service we offer is Laser therapy which helps speed healing time and decreases pain for your pet. We use it to help reduce inflammation and pain after surgery, as well as helping decrease the medication needs of pets with arthritis. We include dental evaluations in each annual wellness exam so we can prevent or correct dental problems before they affect your pet's overall health. Dental cleanings are a necessary part of keeping your pet healthy. We have an in-house laboratory for diagnostic blood work, while biopsies and other more specialized tests are sent to various outside reference laboratories around the country. We have a digital x-ray that provides excellent images for our doctors to diagnose issues. We also are able to do ultrasounds to diagnose soft tissue problems as well. We are able to consult with, or refer your pet to, specialists at Iowa State's Veterinary College or other institutions around the country if his or her care would require that. Please call us if you want someone to care for your pet as much as you do!.
