Dedicated to Compassionate, Ethical, and Comprehensive Care for Your Pets

Diego Our Hospital Dog

The Hometown Veterinarian is an independent, small animal hospital owned by Dr. Grant Jacobson, proudly located in Marshalltown, Iowa. Since our founding in 2018, we have been committed to serving the community with compassionate and ethical veterinary care, all while upholding our guiding principle: to bring glory to God through our service to both people and pets.

From the very beginning, we have been warmly welcomed by the wonderful communities we serve. Our patients come not only from Marshalltown but from across Iowa and the Midwest. Many trust us and travel hours to ensure their pets receive the exceptional care we provide, including referral patients from other veterinarians—a true testament to the quality of our care.

Our facility is modern and well-equipped, capable of handling a wide range of cases—from routine wellness exams and emergency services to complex medical conditions and surgical procedures, including orthopedics. We treat a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rabbits, ferrets, and more. Whatever your pet’s needs may be, our experienced team is here to provide exceptional, compassionate care.

At The Hometown Veterinarian, our goal is to uphold the highest standards of veterinary care in everything we do—from pain management and preventative care to surgery, medical treatments, and dental health. As lifelong learners, we continuously seek to improve and adopt the latest advances in veterinary medicine and surgery, ensuring your pets receive the best possible care.

Our core values are simple yet powerful:

  • Service

  • Compassion

  • Healing

We live these values every day, striving to be "Your other family doctor."
