The Hometown Veterinarian is owned and operated by Dr. Grant Jacobson who is a compassionate veterinarian with over 24 years of experience practicing high-quality small animal medicine and surgery.
He is joined by a fantastic team of veterinarians and para-professionals all focused on providing the best care possible to our animal patients.
Our locally-owned, full-service animal hospital was voted Best of the Best Veterinarian in 2019. 2020, 2021, and 2022 in Marshalltown's Times-Republican Newspaper. We continue to be humbled and honored by the community support of our hospital and team.
We understand that veterinary medicine is a profession of service. We serve people. We serve pets. We serve each other.
Compassion
We have compassion for animals but we also understand the emotional distress that a sick or injured pet causes everyone.
Healing
We heal animals every day. We also heal people by understanding that everyone is broken in some way and a simple smile or a kind word can help heal hearts.
They Love Us
I was very pleased with the professional and friendly (hometown) attitude of the staff and doctors. They were very understanding and seemed to really care for my family's dog. The staff was very caring and treated her with love and kindness to the very end. I highly recommend them to all those who love and care for their pets/family members.

I took my cat Ziggy in because he was having some issues and just overall wasn’t feeling well. He was absolutely spoiled with all the love and attention he received from the loving staff members. I would like to thank each and every one of them for all the hard work they did for Ziggy and continue to do for him! Thank you VERY MUCH Hometown Vet! Ziggy thanks you as well!
Briana R.
Very clean and very professional. The staff really cares about your pet as if it were their own! Our Saluki girl, Eve, needed surgery for a broken humerus bone. Dr. Jacobson was highly recommended by our primary vet. He made her as good as new!
