Van Meter Veterinary Clinic

I am so grateful to everyone on staff at Van Meter Veterinary Clinic - my hounds are not the most social, and it had been such a struggle to find a vet willing to accommodate their needs. They treat not only me, but also my dogs with so much respect, I don’t know if they realize just how great of an impact they’ve had on my reactive dogs. I appreciate all that they’ve been able to do for my “little problem children” , I couldn’t recommend a better practice ❤️

Always had a good experience here and I appreciate their willingness to work with my schedule.

Dr Bolser doesn’t check out your new pet from head to toe, but he lies on his records and writes down that he does and I’m sitting in the room watching him too. Most vets you have been doing business for years and knows your pet try to be accommodating and helpful if your pet is having an emergency, this doctor doesn’t, he has no compassion and has the audacity to tell me to take my puppy that needed his help to the emergency veterinary clinic. He used to work for that one for many years. The only reason I kept going to this clinic was because of previous vet and owner Dr Anne IIes. She was a wonderful Vet. Dr Bolser also teaches part time up in Ames at Iowa State Veterinary School. The students he brings down to
