Iowa Veterinary Wellness Center

Iowa Veterinary Wellness Center 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!

If your pet were to go missing, a veterinarian or animal shelter can scan for a microchip to retrieve its unique ID number. This number is connected to your contact information in a recovery database!

Unsure if your pets microchipped? Bring them in and we can scan! 🐾

We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience and look forward to continuing to see you and your pets during this time.
