Our chicken coop was broken into and our Turken chicken had her wing damaged and was bitten. I can positively say that it was worth the 2 hour drive with three kids. I honestly was shocked at how much kindness and care they gave to what others would think was just as a silly $2 chicken. They were honest, thorough, and caring. They were also so kind to my children as well. I WILL recommend this clinic to everyone!

I loved our first visit here! It's a wonderful clinic with incredibly kind staff on all levels and experienced exotic doctors. Everyone is accommodating and the clinic is super clean. They go out of their way to do the little things for you that really add up and make the experience stand out. Dr. Stearns did great with my ratties and getting a yucky tooth taken care of, and answered all the questions I had for her : We'll definitely be coming back again!

The staff at this clinic were so warm, welcoming, helpful, and friendly! I was anxious to bring my cat in (first time pet owner) but they made the process so smooth and stress-free! I would recommend this clinic to anyone! Thank you so much for your help!

We brought in our very sick rescue dog, Milo to Dr Sue Barnes. She and her tech were so wonderful and compassionate. Even though our little guy didn't make it we appreciate all they did to make it bearable for us! Thank you

We've been taking our dogs here since our first one was a puppy.and she's now nearly 7. The staff (at every level) is amazing. They are friendly and attentive and truly get to know us and our pets. Their goal is to create a fear-free atmosphere for pets and it works.our dogs love going there. Our most recent visit was due to figuring out the best way to help our lab with his allergies. Dr. Warren and Vet Tech Whitney are a dream team.even at the end of the day, they didn't rush us and made sure we had what we needed. Highly recommend.

MOST AMAZING VET EXPERIENCE! I brought my 1 year old bunny to this vet today for the first time and was very impressed! My rabbit has been having upper respiratory issues for the past week and we went to a different vet when these issues first arose. I wasn't entirely impressed with the last vet I visited, so I transitioned to this one and it is it BEST decision I've made concerning my bunny!

We were seen by Dr. Terri Argotsinger, and she was very gentle and patient with my spunky little bunny. She sat on the floor with us and thoroughly examined my bunny and talked me through everything. She was very personable and easy to talk to, and she answered my many questions! I can't say enough good things about this place and my experience today!

I needed to find an avian vet for my parakeet. I couldn't have asked for better than Dr. Warren! She gave me some great pointers in adding nutrition to her diet, especially during her first big molt. Kelsey, the tech was also really helpful and they both made me and my bird feel really relaxed and comfortable. So glad to find a great avian vet!

My wife and I brought our mini doodles to Ankeny Animal & Avian Clinic and were incredibly impressed. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The rooms were very clean and we felt that our pets were in great hands the whole time. One of our dogs has really short legs and a long body. We were with another vet for years and they never mentioned any preventive joint care for our pup.

On our first visit, the vet recommended starting it now to prevent future issues. We cannot recommend this place enough and will definitely make Ankeny & Avian Animal Clinic our primary care provider!

We took my Green Cheek Conure in for a wellness. The vet was so sweet and informative. She was everything you wanted for an exotic vet. She was able to give us amazing advice to keep our baby happy and healthy. The vet tech handled my small bird with care and was perfect as he tried to escape from their exam. We felt comfortable and informed at every step; from making the appointment to leaving after the exam. We will definitely be back!

Took my two bunnies to this place and the staff are so kind, caring, and accommodating. They gave them their breakfast veggies since it was a drop off visit, and continued to give me over the phone or text advice anytime I had a concern. Not changing my vet anytime soon, would 10/10 recommend!
