Family Owned Since 1951

Welcome to Riordan Pet Hospital

Riordan Pet Hospital has been the preferred veterinary hospital for Des Moines family pet owners since it was founded in 1951 by Dr. Robert Riordan. As a family-owned veterinary practice, we understand and agree that dogs and cats are an essential part of your family and deserve the highest quality medical care. That is why our veterinary clinics in Des Moines and Ankeny have invested in the latest technology available for veterinary care, including advanced laboratory testing for blood analysis, radiological / x-ray scanners and a full pharmacy for all of your pet’s health care needs.
