Veterinarians near Alburnett, IA

“Dr. Wilharm is very friendly, knowledgeable and calming. He’s very easy to communicate with too. Actually same goes for the whole staff! Most importantly to us, our dog doesn’t mind going there at all.”

“Everyone at the office was very kind. The important thing was the knowledge they have was very great. I would highly suggest that you visit them and see for yourself. A great place!”

“Amazing place!! My German Shepherd has a very hard time at the vet. She completely stresses out and it’s a hard task to even get her through the front door. The lady at the front desk and the vet tech could see that I was struggling just to get her to the door. They kindly helped and opened both doors so that I could just run with her into the room. Once in the room everyone was amazing!!! Couldn’t be happier with Ross Vet clinic. Little things go a long ways!”

“This vet office is excellent! They are caring, kind, and helpful. Unlike lots of other vet offices, they don't try and sell you or push on you expensive services or products. They are clearly here to help, and to make sure that you and your pet(s) are well taken care of. They helped me with the end of my last dog's life, and are helping me with making sure my current dog is happy and healthy!”

I just need to take a second and praise the staff and doctors over at Heartland Animal Hospital in Marion.

A few weeks ago I took the cats in for their annual exams and they recommended that my sweet little Mae girl get her teeth cleaned, and that some would need pulled. She’s been my most expensive kiddo, as this was her 3rd surgery in the 5 years I’ve had her, with this being her 2nd dental procedure. This was our first visit with Heartland, as I was looking into finding a new care team for my fur-kids.

When Mae went in for her dental procedure a week later, the vets at Heartland found something wrong with her heart. This is where they went above and beyond the level of excellence I’ve ever expected to receive from a veterinary team. They immediately stopped the procedure, and got in contact with me to schedule further testing. They did two separate rounds of testing, one requiring a special animal cardiologist to come into the Heartland clinic and visit with Mae.

The results from her specialist heart exam showed an abnormality. It’s all fancy medical talk. From what I know, she will need routine heart exams every 9-12 months in order to stay on top of her developing condition. The heart condition is unclear, but they know that whatever it is, it’s in a very early stage. So we continue the testing to stay ahead of it. As well as the annual cardiologist exam, we’ve been given some tests to run at home monthly to monitor Mae’s health.

I think most people wouldn’t want to throw $800 at a heart exam for a cat every 9-12 months. For me, it’s a way to ensure she has a healthy and pain free rest of her life. Whatever caused her to fail her ECG is still developing, and I trust this team to tell me when enough is enough for my little Mae. And there’s no team I would trust more than these folks over at Heartland Vet. I know that I can rest easy when the time comes to make the call for little Mae to cross the Rainbow Bridge, because I know that this team will be there to support her and me every step of the way.

If you’re looking for a new vet, or even if you aren’t. I encourage you to visit the folks at Heartland Vet in Marion. You will pay more than some of the other clinics in town. But these people and the level of care they provide is above all of the rest. And it is worth every penny. A huge thing for me has been patient education. They spend so much time teaching me and explaining everything about my pets. When Willow got her second case of kennel cough a few weeks ago, and then got pneumonia on top of that, her care team there did everything possible to get her taken care of quickly and safely. They care for your pets as though they are their own, it shows, it matters, and it’s worth it. Knowing I have this team on my side in the battle of taking care of FIVE pets, helps ease so much anxiety in making sure they have proper medical care.

I can’t thank the Heartland Vet Clinic enough for all of their support, education, and professionalism these last few weeks. They’ve built lasting relationships with me and with my fur-kids. They’re truly amazing.”

“Great people. My kitten was takin such good care of when she got spayed not only that but everyone is very friendly and I’m so grateful. Thank you everyone. These are the best Vets and Techs. in Cedar Rapids..”

“My Shepadoodle had two spots on his leg that he had been licking and biting until they bled. My vet’s office just does well care visits and had no opening for a few weeks, really! The week before I took his sister to the emergency clinic out by the airport for a cut. I paid more than $700 to have it treated, ridiculous. So, I had to find a vet that could treat him as a non-emergency. Heartland did a great job. He had been there before and they got him in right away and examined him. We left with the medication all for less than $100. Great place to bring your pets.”

“I absolutely love Dr Meier! She solved so many problems with my oldest cat who is now in perfect health! And my second kitty has been experiencing so many issues and she quickly squeezed him in and has helped me understand so much and help diagnose him and get him on a path of good health! 100% recommend her! Super helpful and been helpful pay wise to understand stuff is expensive and giving other ways to get what I need to help me financially!”

“Been going here for years. Very happy with the service, especially as of late. Other places are cheaper but I've found that you have to go back multiple times to fix an issue with them VS just once at ACH. Dr. Zylstra has been a game changer for that place. He's very informative and easy to deal with.”

“I’ve always had a good experience at Linn Animal North. They truly care about your pet and do everything they can to help. I know prices are high with everything right now and I respect the quality care they provide for the price I pay. When I had the toughest day of my life with having to put down my 18 year old cat, they were extremely compassionate and patient while explaining everything thoroughly as to make sure I was with them on every step in the process. They even sent a card of condolences after ♥️ I’ll never forget their compassion and will continue to work with them in the future (while recommending them to everyone I can)”

“Very personal with us and our pet. Very clean and controlled waiting room. Very upfront about prices and gives you info to get pet insurance. Small little building big heart. Picked a good place to take care of my pets needs.”

“My dog was seen for the first time here and it was the best vet I’ve been to. Staff is organized and professional and the prices are reasonable. My dog saw Dr. Garman and she spent a lot of time explaining everything. My dog Dee Dee is very shy and she was taken care of perfectly.”

“Excellent care and experts in their field. I never though we would see revulsion like we did for our 14 year old, but Dr. G is a genius. We are so lucky to have him so close.”
