IVWC offers integrative medicine with a holistic approach in a collaborative setting.
*Open the 1st & 3rd Saturdays of every month.*

Welcome to Iowa Veterinary Wellness Center! (Formerly Iowa Veterinary Acupuncture Clinic) We were the first holistic veterinary practice in the entire Midwest region! We use an integrative approach when handling each of our patients. We are unique in this area as we combine Western medicine with traditional Chinese medicine. As a result, the complementary treatments are more effective and lead to healthier, happier lives. Our holistic approach allows us to begin our assessment and treatment of each patient from every angle. We focus on looking at each patient in his or her entirety. We utilize the vast tools at our disposal to design a treatment and prevention plan. Our goal is to reduce, and hopefully eliminate, disease symptoms with limited to no side effects. As you can see, we love what we do and we do what we love. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or comments. Feel free to stop by for a guided tour. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Today, October 10th, marks World Mental Health Day!

Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. Make self-care a priority, seek support when needed, and remember that you are never alone. Let’s take this opportunity to break the stigma and raise awareness. Together, we can cultivate a community rooted in empathy and understanding. 💚

Behind every wagging tail, heartfelt goodbye, and family finding comfort, there is a veterinary professional who has dedicated their heart to their work.

Unfortunately, the stark reality is that 1 in 6 veterinary professionals has contemplated su***de at some point in their careers.

To all veterinarians, technicians, and team members: You are recognized. You are appreciated. You are not alone.
