Heartland Animal Hospital

Heartland Animal Hospital, operating in Des Moines since 1995, is now owned and operated by Dr. Katherine Edel, who specializes in internal medicine and ultrasonography. The practice treats dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, pocket pets, and exotic animals, offering laser therapy alongside wellness exams, dental care, surgery, diagnostics, and urgent care. Dr. Edel, a member of the AVMA and IVMA, emphasizes preventive care and personalized attention, with the practice committed to longer appointment times and continuity of care rather than high-volume services.
