We have three dedicated veterinarians that serve Cedar Falls, IA and all the surrounding communities! I grew up on an acreage and spent countless time with our menagerie of pets. I remember telling my parents that I was going to be a veterinarian ever since I was eight years old. I graduated with my Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Science from Iowa State University in 1996 and received my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2000.
Prior to working at Taylor Veterinary Hospital, I was a general practitioner at Ottumwa Veterinary Clinic in Ottumwa, Iowa. As a veterinarian, I enjoy the variety I see every day; from a physical exam on a healthy kitten, to providing pain management for a dog with a terminal disease, to restoring a sick guinea pig's health, and everything in-between.

Services
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to care for your pet. Our caring staff and dedicated doctors enjoy seeing all kinds of domestic pets. From dogs to cats, to hamsters and ferrets, to rabbits and guinea pigs - we have seen about everything! We want to help you and your pet have a happy, healthy life together, and we will do our best to keep you informed about the best ways to care for your pet.
We operate primarily by appointment. Occasionally there will be an emergency case that needs to be seen before a scheduled appointment. We do our best to minimize any wait time that you may encounter. For your convenience, drop off appointments are available. A drop off means you could bring your pet in at the time that works best for you and leave them with us for several hours.
This event is a noncompetitive walk event for dogs and their owners to raise funds and awareness for the American Cancer Society's fight against cancer. By supporting Bark for Life, you help the American Cancer Society saves lives and that helps us move closer to our ultimate goal of a world with less cancer and more birthdays.
Preventive care is the single most important thing you can do to protect your pet's health. Your pet ages much faster than you do, so a yearly physical examination, stool check for worms, and a heartworm blood test for dogs, allow the doctor to find problems early. Vaccinations are important to prevent serious and fatal diseases in your dogs, cats, ferrets and to protect people too.
Pets age more quickly than humans. For this reason, when your pet reaches their actual age of 50, we recommend screening for potential diseases that could go undetected until they become serious. If caught early, treatment can slow disease progression and result in a longer, happier life. Abdominal ultrasound - Screens abdominal organs (liver, spleen, kidneys, etc.) for any change in size or texture, and monitors for any masses.

Initially I didn't want to give them 5 stars because they seemed like they were flustered & didn't know what was going on given the extensive traffic but they were one of the only vets that could get my pet in quickly and after communicating & their quick response compared to other vets, I would give a 5 star simply due to their diligence & swift response for my pet care.

My one year old dog was so scared from his old vet cutting his nails, he wouldn't let them. Dr.Beth & Kelsey were brilliant with him! He's learning the vet isnt a bad place. All his yearly care in one convenient appointment. They loved on him & made him so happy! Worth so much to me & my pup. Thank you, you all are great!!!

I highly recommend Taylor vet. I have been bringing my cat here for almost a year and have been incredibly impressed by the care from Taylor. All of the staff are extremely kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Last week, my cat had dental surgery and I was a bit paranoid about every little thing once I brought him home. The staff at Taylor never acted like my (several) calls with questions were a nuisance. Instead, they provided me with the right amount of assurance and information. Also, my cat is incredibly comfortable around everyone at Taylor which eases my nerves when I have to bring him

I highly recommend bringing your pet to Taylor. I moved to Iowa from Albuquerque and was hesitant to find a new vet for my cat. The staff and veterinarians at Taylor are detail-oriented, very responsive, and extremely kind. The veterinarians are also aware of how expensive procedures can be and definitely helped me prioritize what needed to be done immediately versus what could wait. Despite having to wait in the car (due to COVID) while my cat was being seen, I felt very involved and comfortable as the vet called me during the visit and described everything that they were doing. I'm kind

Amazing amazing staff, clinic, coffee, assistants! I'm so happy I came here!! I'm from California visiting family and you don't get this amazing service over there I actually didn't want to leave and hoped my cat would start throwing up. They don't push you to get unnecessary stuff like other vets did . I've had called 4 other vets before this one and they all were trying to charge me just for touching their door. Please bring your pets here you won't be disappointed! Why don't they have 100 reviews is beyond me!

I love Taylor Vet! We have had the pleasure to have been taken care of by both vets here and we appreciate both so much. They interact with our pets so well. And are very informative and don't come across as "condescending" as many veterinarians often do, in my opinion. I love that they will answer any question I throw at them, even when it's not related to the current pet they are seeing at the moment. I have recommended them to a few people and will continue to do so. In my opinion they are not cheap but are also not too expensive either. You do get what you pay for, with
