About Avondale Pet Resort

Des Moines is in Iowa, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Des Moines follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building.

My dog bolt loves coming to this facility! After having issues with a previous daycare it was nice to know he could have some fun with other dogs and I wouldn’t have to worry about him being taken care of. They make sure each pet has had proper medical and vaccines before coming to join them for play. A wonderful place with nice friendly people. Bolt says thank you!

My best buddy Wrigley recently had a 10 day stay with them. When I picked him up he looked great and very happy. First time boarding him somewhere that he wasn’t mad at me afterwards. Can tell he had a great time with their staff and could tell from talking with them that they really care for him as if he was their own dog. Thanks to everyone there that made his stay so great.

They took great care of our two dogs when we boarded them which is why the 3 stars. Otherwise, they nickel and dime you for everything. We weren't informed that our dogs need a flu vaccination (maybe a handful of boarding places require it) so when we dropped our dogs off, it had to be done by them- $30 per dog for that. Plus, $30 per dog for a fecal test. Both of these could have been done through our vet at a much cheaper cost if we had been informed that these needed to be done! Also, $4 per medication that needs to be administered to our dog per day. $26 for that. We were quoted at $160 and ended up having to pay $300 for 2.5 day stay!!! Absolutely absurd. Will not be boarding here again.

I just boarded my 7 month old Labradoodle at Avondale a few weeks ago and would not recommend this place in the least. This is our first dog and first time boarding so I made sure to call and ask questions and confirm our appointment. I should have done more research as the customer service for the most part was extremely poor. However, I was recommended by a friend and thought I would check it out as other options were limited. I was aware prior to drop off that she would need a kennel cough vaccine (by my regular vet, not Avondale) even though records were sent a week in advance. Avondale offered to do it during her stay to save a trip to the vet. Great! Everything seemed fine until the day of drop off. No one bothered to tell me that on Sunday's they do not open until 10 for drop off, even though I had mentioned I'd drop her off around 7:30 or 8 that morning. Here we are waiting....once we finally get in, they advise me that my puppy will need a laundry list of other vaccines as well and it will be around $80 to "get her caught up." I take my puppy regularly to a local vet and she is up to date. However, Avondale requires these same vaccines every 6 months instead of a year. I h

Avondale Pet Resort and Avondale Vet is truly an amazing place!!!! I recommend it to anyone looking for a vet, for doggie daycare and grooming. I have been taking my dog here almost a year now and have never had an issue with anyone. Every employee is friendly and greets me with a smile each time I walk in. Anytime I have a question or need to come in with a checkup/emergency, they are always willing to answer my questions completely. The veterinarians are very caring and will even call you the next day to make sure your pet is doing okay! That to me is AMAZING service. I know that my dog is in wonderful hands when I leave her with them and after she gets home from daycare I know she had a blast during the day. Definitely check this place out, trust me its worth your time and money.
