Hagrid was such a sweet boy while Dr. Hoeksema removed his sutures. He loves his spray cheese.

Special Shout out to Jessica

Jessica joined our team back in 2020 when she was still in high school, and we are so proud that she is currently a student in the Iowa State Veterinary program and are confident that she will be an incredible small animal veterinarian one day. Our clinic has a special place in her heart, and even with her busy vet school schedule she still comes back on the weekends and breaks to help out. She is very hard working and when she puts her mind to something she achieves it. Outside of work and school you can expect to find her spending time with her family and her Frenchie.

Your compassion and expertise are not just noticed, but they make a significant difference in animal care. Thank you for all that you do!

Special Shout out to Katy!

Katy has been the groomer at University West Pet Clinic since 1990, so you can expect when your pet comes to be groomed by her that they are in expert hands. We never fail to be impressed by her knowledge and skill, and your pet always leaves looking their best. Additionally, she takes extra time to understand her clients’ own personal preferences in order to make sure your pet is groomed exactly to your liking. She never forgets a pet that she grooms, and you can frequently hear her chatting to them while she works to put them at ease. Dorothy and Jacob are lucky to call Katy mom, and she is grandma to two dogs Bella and Zeus. Spending time with her family is what she treasures above all.

Your compassion and expertise are not just noticed, but they make a significant difference in animal care. Thank you for all that you do!
