If you care about your pets, I would not take them here. They made numerous medicinal mistakes including wrong vaccination schedule along with medicinal dosing error. Thankfully, my fiancé is nurse, and was able to catch the issues before hand. If you have any sort of issue or complication, they will not take any accountability to learn from their mistakes.

I’ve been taking our pets to Startch for years and we have always enjoyed our experience. We have had two adult dogs, two litters of puppies, two kittens and sadly a puppy put down within 2 years. We know the clinic very well! Something must have changed this last year though. We have had nothing but issues with services and nothing but attitudes while talking to the veterinarians. I will say though that the rest of the staff is amazing but we are moving to a different vet.

I calmed down but Unfortunately there were complications which the ... read more
6 out of 10 Vet Office Reasoning; Receptionist/ Vet techs were all very pleasant and professional. Pricing is pretty reasonable for DSM area. There are at least 6+ vets that do work at the location and the vet WILL change EVERY TIME unless you specifically ask for the same veterinarian (which I never asked if this was possible). All Veterinarians were professional and pleasant with my 3 dogs (all different ages) get puppy shot over 6+ months time span. BUT… If you get surgery, like eye tacking. I did have a vet describe th... read more
