Our Practice

At Ingersoll Animal Hospital we know first-hand that pets enrich the quality of our lives. Because of this, we work hard to improve the health, happiness, and longevity of our treasured pets by providing the very best veterinary care available in the Des Moines area. The more we invest into the care of our furry friends, the more we’ll reap the benefits of their unconditional love and unwavering loyalty in our lives. That’s what it’s all about!

We know a thing or two about veterinary care – we’ve been doing it since 1979! We also know that all the experience in the world, however, cannot replace the most important component of the care we provide – a personal touch and individual attention. We believe that when we place the focus on what’s most important – you and your pet – everything else will just naturally fall into place. The better the service, the better the care. That’s our promise to you, your pet, and to ourselves.

We are a full service small animal veterinary hospital specializing in providing the best possible medical, surgical, diagnostic and dental care to the dogs, cats, rabbits and pocket pets of the Des Moines area. We are proud to be an AAHA accredited hospital, a designation that we feel demonstrates our commitment to always providing the highest level of care and service. We offer a broad range of comprehensive services, from routine wellness care to life saving critical care. We even offer grooming to provide you and your pet with a more complete package.

Beyond our services and treatment options, we are a practice that is committed to providing the best possible care to each and every patient we see. We try to personalize our care as much as we can because we recognize that each pet is unique and each relationship valuable. We want to get to know you and your furry friend by name and learn as much about you both as possible. Whether it’s a warm greeting, a cozy blanket, an extra belly rub or a few more tasty treats, our goal is for you and your loved one to feel as comfortable with us as you would be with family.

One of the things we most often hear from our clients, new and old, is how hard we work for them and their pets. We are continually educating.  At Ingersoll Animal Hospital, we love seeing new faces and we treasure building relationships with clients and their pets, from energetic kittens and puppies through their memorable senior years and any problems in between. We would welcome the opportunity to partner with you in keeping your four legged family member happy and healthy for as many years as possible. Come by any time or give us a call today. We’ll be waiting for you! To us, you are so much more than just an appointment on the books. You are family, plain and simple, and you can expect to be treated as such each and every time you visit.
