They don't have time for it and just come get your dog immediately. This was the weirdest exchange I've ever had and I still don't know wtf happened. This went from a simple question to aggressive behavior toward me and my dog for zero reason. Unless she just didn't want to do her job today. I have no idea. Worst experience I have ever had.

I seriously don't know what I would do without the amazing, loving, and caring staff here. Big thank you from both me and Ace!!! 10/10 recommend all things offered here!

Sol have been going to them for two years. They recently opened a location in Ankeny. Which was…read moresuper awesome since we live in Ankeny. Wasn't such a great experience! They have absolutely horrible customs service. The one in Des Moines would give a call the day before your appointment every time. Never missed a confirmation call at all. Then switching to the one at Ankeny they never would call the day before. So I would try and check my calendar and call to make sure we were still good to go. Then one day I didn't catch my calendar the day before and call and I missed the appointment. So I called and apologize and let them know that I was sorry I missed the appointment and they said we called you the day before and confirmed and I advised them I had no reminder call. I informed them that I take half credit for missing the appointment but I'm used to getting the reminder call cause they do it at the other location regularly. So I feel like they should be half responsible. She said that it is a curtesy that they call anyway and that if I miss the appointment that's on me. So she said if I wanted to rebook I had to repay the full booking fee! So I asked for the owner I. So the owner called me and was rude and said that they would credit the booking fee but one of my three cats would no longer be able to come and get groomed because she was an issue. This after bring up that the Ankeny location was having tons of issues. I guess they are short staffed and can't handle the business they are getting so I said I would be taking my cats somewhere else and the own was ok that fine and hung up the phone. Would not recommend them to anyone!!

We tried everything with Moose, but nothing seemed to work until we brought him to Mike and his…read moreteam at All Dogs Unleashed. Mike and his team are extremely professional and exceptional at what they do. Moose had issues with everything from digging and biting to pulling on the leash and difficulties with kennel training. Within two weeks with their board and train program, moose was a new dog. He was just as lovey as he was before, but now a great listener as well. Mike and his team helped us learn how to communicate with Moose. If I could give this company 20 stars, I would. I trust Mike with Moose, and I recommend this company to anyone who is looking to train their dog. Don't hesitate.. book with All Dogs Unleashed!!

We've been taking our dog Otis to Unleashed Pets since last November, and we truly couldn't be…read morehappier. The facility is incredibly clean--it's obvious that cleanliness is a top priority, and they're constantly keeping everything in great condition. Otis has struggled with separation anxiety, but by his third day at daycare, everything changed. Now he gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot and doesn't even look back at drop-off. That alone says everything about how comfortable and happy he is there. He comes home completely worn out from playing all day, which we love. We actually drive 25 minutes out of the way just to bring him here, and it is worth every single minute. I visited almost every daycare in town before choosing Unleashed Pets, and I can confidently say this is the best one. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place they can truly trust with their dog.

I am traveling with my new kitten and she got diarrhea and I had to take her to the ER. She is fine now but I wanted to get her a bath before driving back to Iowa city. The kind woman on the phone said they do not take kittens but would be happy to help if Alicia the groomer consented. She did, so I brought my kitten mango in. Not only were they so gentle and kind, they made sure to get to know mango and my's backstories. I even heard the groomer make it a point to meet the parents of other dogs she has just groomed to ensure she was 100% happy. I was nervous mango wouldn't like it, but she was so calm and sweet with them. I expected to pay about $20.... but nope! FREE OF CHARGE because all they wanted was for mango to get home okay. Goodness. Truly great people. This place needs more reviews and I would recommend 100% P.S mango says thanks!!

Fair warning, this is a long review, but if you're looking for a quality pet supply store and…read moreyou're on the fence, please read the full review. I'm embarrassed to say that I've lived in Ankeny for 2 years and hadn't found Wholesome Pet Essentials sooner. I told them that when I was in the store too! What a gem. This is exactly what every small town or neighborhood needs. Sure we have a big box pet supply store to shop at, but that's not what most enlightened, wise, local-loving, conscientious pet owners want. Some would consider me intense, and admittedly, I have very high standards. When it comes to anything for my dog, only the best will do. Wholesome Pet Essentials has the best! I found Wholesome Pet Essentials because I had been making my dog's food at home for the last few months, but just in the previous couple of days, she started eating dirt from my houseplants. After a quick search on the internet, I gathered that she was likely missing something from her diet. So even though I had been having decent success making her food from scratch, I figured if I messed it up this one time, it was time to hand it back to the professionals. I think I searched for "fresh dog food" or something. Unfortunately, I do not remember. But Wholesome Pet Essentials came up in my search, so I poked around their website a little bit, and I found a brand of raw food that I hadn't tried before and ordered online to pick up in-store later. When I came in to get the food, I browsed around. I saw some happy pups getting groomed in the back. The selection for both cats and dogs is astonishing! An employee asked if I was looking for anything in particular. I told her I wasn't sure how to explain what I was looking for, but I told her my dog had recently taken to eating dirt, and the employee knew what my dog needed! She knew she was missing some essential nutrients, and she suggested a small pouch of Flora4, which is a raw food topper that I hadn't heard of, but I'm so glad the employee suggested it. It has been 3 days since my visit to Wholesome Pet Essentials, and my dog stopped eating dirt, and she loves the new food! Shifting gears a bit. I'm pretty sure the woman who fetched my online order for me (not the same person who suggested the Flora4) is an owner, and she mentioned that they are expanding into the vacant space next door. The Textbook Outlet moved, and Wholesome Pet Essentials will be taking over that space. I am so excited for them, and I am thrilled that I found them! This is now my go-to spot for anything my dog needs. If you made it to the end of this review, you must really love your pet, too, because I know this is quite long, but I can't help it; I have lots of lovely things to say about the knowledgable and friendly people of Wholesome Pet Essentials!
