We offer friendly, affordable and experienced services for large, small and exotic animals. We currently serve as the pound for the City of Fort Dodge, IA and for Webster County, IA. If you have a lost animal, please call us during business hours. As the weather becomes more erratic and warmer, we are seeing more problems with parasites and water-borne diseases.
If your animal is among the many who are itching, please take the time to look at the skin, especially above the head of the tail and on the neck. If you see any scampering bugs or dark curly-cues that turn red in water, your animal has fleas, even if they've NEVER HAD THEM BEFORE.

Services
Boarding/General
Report
Small, medium and large cages are available for cats and small to medium-sized dogs. Indoor runs are provided for larger dogs and there is one horse stall and two half horse stalls available on request. All efforts are made to keep cats in a quiet room away from barking dogs. If they are docile enough, we allow they to take turns exploring our "Jungle Room" for added environmental enrichment.
Cremation
Report
If an owner wishes to have their deceased animal cremated, we work with an outside service that handles pet cremations. We reserve the right to refuse this service for non-clients if we do not have sufficient space for temporary storage. If individual ashes are to be returned, the animal is cremated alone.
Dental Cleaning
Report
Many animals require dental care to maintain good oral hygiene and to keep their breath from becoming an issue for the owner. This is done under general anesthesia. An ultrasonic scaler is used and the teeth are polished after cleaning. We use gas anesthesia and offer pre-anesthetic bloodwork to identify any undiagnosed underlying problems.
Emergency Hours
Report
All after hours calls are forwarded to our home address. Due to the nature of the telemarketing industry and sometime frivolous calls, calls are screened by the answering machine. You will be asked to leave your name and number and the nature of your emergency. All serious calls will be answered as promptly as possible.
Grooming
Report
No scissor cuts except by special request and only with approval by the groomer and Dr. Susan Arnold. Grooming is done by appointments only. All grooms are scheduled for the morning unless by special request. Sedation is available for those animals requiring it, though few animals other than cats actual require it.
