Report
I cannot recommend Waukee-Clive Veterinary Clinic enough. After moving to the area a little over three years ago, I was worried we wouldn't find another clinic we liked as much as the one we came from. All of the staff are professional, friendly, and compassionate. They all love to see our dog just as much as he loves to see all of them!

I had to make a very hard decision recently to put my dog to sleep. They were so caring and walked me through the process. I could tell they really cared. I had been taking my pup there for 9 years. I highly recommend them.

I like the way they take you back to the exam room right away, fill out any paperwork and even pay your bill in the exam room. The vet assistant was very pleasant and efficiently captured the patient information. Our vet took her time with us we didn't feel rushed and she made sure all my questions and concerns were discussed. I would recommend this vet clinic

Report
I moved to Waukee in January and my puppy need to get a checkup due to a cough. They took us in the same day we called. They were all so nice and my puppy loved them. They were gentle with him and gave him all the attention he wanted. I expected it to be a little expensive but it was cheaper than I thought with very fair pricing. I will definitely be coming here from now on for all my pets.

Report
Had never taken our dog her before, but he needed to see someone right away and the clinic we normally take him to could not get him in for a few hours. Waukee-Clive Vet Clinic agreed to see him immediately, correctly diagnosed the issue, and the bill was less than I thought it would be. My wife and I were very impressed with the service and care. We will be back.
