We've been taking our cat Scrappy here for the last ten years and have always gotten great care for him. All the veterinarians are kind and compassionate and have a real love of animals. They also know a lot about animals since they've been in the business a long time. The staff is really great, too. We recently had to put Scrappy to sleep and we were very impressed with how respectful and kind everyone was the day we brought him in for the last time.They had placed a soft fleece blanket on the table for Scrappy to lie on to make him feel comfortable. Dr. Dennis Riordan let us take our time and we didn't feel rushed. He explained all the steps and everything he was going to do so we knew exactly what was going to happen. Afterwards, he talked to us and let us take our time. He made a difficult day easier to bear. I can't recommend this place enough. If you're looking for caring veterinarians with experience, this is the place to go. read more

My muni Australian Shepherd was recently diagnosed with Parvovirus. Dr Chuck was exceptional and the care he got was out standing. Kept me informed all the way and the costs where very reasonable I recommend to all of my friends read more

i, like all pet owners, hate taking my pet to the animal doctor, especially when they are hurt or sick. The vets at Riordan Pet Hospital are always great with my animals. Chuck Riordan was super compassionate when my cat was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He spent a lot of time with me, discussing losing pets, discussing options, and, most importantly, telling me that it was my choice when to put him to sleep, that I knew him best, and that I would know when the right time came, regardless of what anyone else thought. It was a wonderful, terrible experience. I recommend this pet hospital to all of my friends with animal family members. read more

I have been a client of Riordan Pet Hospital for 18 years. They have provided exceptional care to our cats over the years. The doctors and staff are very patient and carefully explain all options. They are up front on expenses which I also appreciate. Their charges are very reasonable in my opinion. I highly recommend this clinic. read more

My wife and I met Dr. Terry Riordan at the Ankeny Veterinary Clinic over six years ago. We had a newly diabetic Westie (age 6 1/2) and were not pleased by the guidance we were receiving at a different Ankeny Vet clinic. Dr. Terry got us on the right path....one that required minimal blood glucose testing (and therefore much less expense) which our Westie Allie appreciated. We recently said goodbye to Allie at the age of 12 1/2 and it was not diabetes that took her life. Do not take your diabetic pets anywhere else, than to one of the Riordans. You owe it to your pet and to yourself, to get their counseling. Our beloved Westie, Allie, was able to live six years with diabetes. Diabetes does not have to be a death sentence for your pet.

I've been taking my dogs and cats to Riordan Pet Hospital for over 30 years and I love them. There is a real sense of family and caring with all the staff. I cannot recommend them highly enough! My biggest fear is that Dr. Chuck will retire soon, but the other vets are wonderful, too! read more

I just moved to DSM area in March. Wasn't sure what I was gonna do for vet care. Riordan was suggested to me. My dog ended up needing to have a tumor removed. Dr. Garton did the surgery. I could not be happier with the outcome. The entire staff at Riordan is compassionate about their jobs. I have found my vet as long as I live in the DSM area. I highly recommend this place to everybody. read more

When I was in town with my dog, he got an infection and I took him here. Everyone was helpful, nice and gave thorough explanations - from the receptionist to the doctor (Dr. Olds, if I remember correctly) and the cost seemed very reasonable. It was great to find such a place on the first try. read more

I have been taking my pets to Riordan Pet Hospital for more than 30 years and my parents 20 years before me. The Riordan's and staff are the most compassionate and caring people I have ever met and they are very gentle with my dog and cats. I recommend Riordan Pet Hospital to anyone I meet who is looking for a new vet. The prices are very reasonable and the care and expertise the best around. Anna Bradley read more

My family and I have been using Riordan for over 30 years. During that time they have been with us as with all of our adopted pets, cared for them, and seen them off to rest. I have never and will never use another veterinarian. We have always been met with smile, our pets always treated with compassion and the greatest care. The reception desk knows us, the technicians are always amazingly helpful, and the doctors great at taking care of our animals. They treat them just like we do, members of the family. Even when we moved to the other side of town, we still bring our pets to Riordan. We primarily see Chuck and Dennis, but have dealt with all the vet's that have worked with the Clinic. I have never had a bad experience. 30+ years of excellence, and I'm sure that stretches back to when Robert started it. We are happy to see Dr. Garton making his way at the Clinic. To anyone looking for a veterinarian in the great Des Moines area, you can not possibly find better care or service or staff than Riordan. read more
