Dr. Wilke and her staff are wonderful.
Last year my 15 year old Scottie had to be put to sleep due to failing health. Even though this was a pandemic they allowed me to be with her in the building for her last breaths. They were so compassionate and caring. As busy as they are, they are never too busy to chat on the phone with you about any pet concerns. They go the extra mile for your pet. I continue to do business with them, with my surviving dog , as well as my future puppy.

We are SO happy with the professional & friendliness
We just moved to the lower Beaver area and where worried about finding another Veterinarian as caring & loving as our last for our 2-little dogs & a cat. Well, We found one! We are SO happy with the professional & friendliness of the staff at Iowa Veterinarian Wellness. Leo, one our Miniature dachshund mix, recently had an eye injury & the staff treated Leo as if he was one of their pets. Their working with us to get Leo’s eye better… Thank you all for your TLC you have given Leo, let’s hope we don’t have to go through this again!

The staff is very friendly and professional.
I adopted my dog about 5 months ago and was in need of a primary veterinarian. I did a simple google search and based my choice off of reviews. The clinic is conveniently close to my residence. The staff is very friendly and professional. The doctor is knowledgeable and pleasant to speak with. Keep up the good work ladies.

I can’t image going anywhere else.
I’m pretty sure I was more nervous about taking my dog to a new vet than my dog. Long story short, they put all my worries at ease and treated my pup with great care. The tech Melanie was full of great information and answers. I can’t image going anywhere else.

Within weeks he was back to running
This is my second pet to visit the Iowa Veterinary Wellness Center. My first, a Chihuahua, had severe back issues and a broken rib. I was referred to this clinic from my Vet, at the time, in Adel. I drove the 30 some miles to see this Vet. Dr. Wilke prescribed natural anti-inflammatories for her and started an electronic acupuncture regimen. Within 2 weeks, my sweet girl was living life to the full, once again. She lived for another 3 years to the age of nearly 14. My current fur love is my daughters dog (he says he belongs to me ha!) and was seeing another vet, also, when he had a knee/leg injury. I immediately took him to Dr. Wilke! He could barely use the leg before seeing this Doctor. Within weeks he was back to running Zoomies with a much less invasive treatment than was prescribed by his original vet. Our boy, now sees Dr. Wilke for all his veterinary needs! He’s had bad reactions to his yearly immunizations in the past so Dr. Wilke was proactive in avoiding this. We had his yearly physical last week and he did awesome with the immunization regimen! Fortunately this office is now close to where I live, but I would recommend driving the distance to come to this clinic!!!

My dog and I highly recommend their services!
Absolutely love this team of professionals! I have a German Shepherd and she literally starts whining with excitement three blocks out from their office everytime we visit. She loves their team and has been very well cared for, from check-in to check-out. Her breed prone to some issues and they’ve all been addressed in short order.

Best vet in town, especially with fearful, reactive, or aggressive animals!
They are a fear free clinic that really knows their stuff and are more than willing to help accomodate the needs of fear reactive pets in the veterinary environment. They listen to the owners if you feel like a treatment or medication isn’t doing the job, and are willing to work with you & your pet to find the right solution for you! I love that Dr Wilke is very honest and straightforward, while maintaining compassion.
