We have recently started using Starch for our foster dogs. We have been so impressed with every single person we have met! They are always busy but we are treated in a way that we feel like we are the only client at that moment. We live in Ames but will start bringing our own dogs down for their vet care after all the positive experiences we have had. 

Business response:

Thank you for your amazing review, Lisa! We love what we do and are glad to be here for you and your pets!

Starch pet hospital has always been amazing to my family. When we need just a routine appointment to an emergency when my puppy ate sudafed and they did everything to take care of him and us. It also didn’t bankrupt us. That’s the other amazing part. They give amazing service with lower prices. 

Business response:

Thank you so much for your kind words, Sarah. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us. Hope to see you and your loved one soon! Starch Pet Hospital

Staff was detailed, professional, and able to change the needs of the appointment based on findings. This is extremely helpful with covid and taking off work.

The doctor I talked to was very thorough in his exam of my dogs. He listened to my concerns and provided multiple routes of treatment. Would absolutely recommend to my friends and family. 

Business response:

Thank you for your generous feedback, James! Our team looks forward to seeing you and your pet again soon.

Our Bob celebrated his 13th birthday with Starch using their curbside service during COVID. They wore masks, called me three times during the process with progress updates and info on his treatments. And Bob left not only smiling knowing he was well taken care of but he also got a complementary birthday toy 💕 Thank you Dr. Kay and the rest of the incredible staff for taking good care of our boy, even through a pandemic ❤️

I am so very thankful for Starch. I found myself there when I had to put my 17 year old Lilly to sleep. The kindness that was exhibited was amazing. I am most appreciative to my friend Carrie who recommended I go there. We also have a 10 year old Bernese Mt Dog. Who is our world. Both Dr. Wichman & Halligan know this. We have Greta groomed by the amazing Erica, it is no small task. The gals at the desk Sarah, Cicely and Michelle provide quick efficient help and always get back to you with any answers to questions.
