Welcome to Pet Medical Center of Ames!

We are all pet owners here, and nothing is more important to us than caring for
our children (aka our pets) and keeping them with us as long as possible. We are a
one-doctor practice with dedicated staff offering comprehensive care for your pets
from beginning to end. Our veterinarian cares for mainly cats and dogs, but we may
be able to see some pocket pets upon calling in. We are located on South Duff (just
south of Hickory Park) and our front entrance is on the east side of the building.		Services

Appointments

Our office runs on a "by appointment only" basis to keep your wait to a minimum.
Surgeries and dentals can be scheduled on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
Please call us at (515) 232-7204 or email us at [email protected] to schedule,
or by requesting an appointment through our website!		Emergency Care

Because we only have one veterinarian on duty, emergencies and urgent care
maybe accepted based on the individual situation. If you ever feel that your pet needs
emergency treatment, do not hesitate to call immediately, but we may need to refer
you to the university. For after-hour emergencies, please call Iowa State University
at (515) 294‐4900 or BluePearl Vet Hospital in Des Moines at (515) 727-4872. For non‐
emergency questions and concerns, leave a message on our machine at (515) 232‐7204.
