A full-service animal hospital caring for small animals, avian, pocket pets and exotic patients.

Kindness Pet Clinic is a full-service animal hospital specializing in providing compassionate veterinary care for pets of all shapes and sizes. Located just 12 minutes south of Des Moines in Indianola, we offer quality care for your pet with the added benefit of small-town friendliness and value.

Built-in 2006, our beautiful clinic was founded by Drs. Jayne Tabor and Scott Moline, who has been a part of the Indianola community for over 20 years. Our veterinarians always take the time to listen to your concerns, ask questions, and work alongside you to determine the best care options for your individual pet’s health needs.

In addition to our traditional veterinary services, we also offer after-hours emergency service for our active clients. Please feel free to call and talk to one of our team members to ask questions or inquire about prices.

Boarding

Kindness Pet Clinic offers boarding as a service for our clients. We have separate kennels for dogs and cats as well as Special Care Kennels for those pets needing extra attention. We are primarily a Veterinary Clinic and Hospital so our boarding facilities are limited.

We recommend calling well in advance to book your boarding reservations.

We have 3 foot by 6 foot runs as well as smaller kennels for the dogs, and a fenced in play yard.

Due to limited space we do have a 24 hour cancellation policy. If your pet’s boarding appointment is not cancelled 24 hours or more in advance you will be charged one nights stay per animal.
