Congratulations on yesterday's ribbon cutting!
We're proud to have been apart of bringing this project to life and are excited to see it serve the Hiawatha community for years to come.
We celebrated today!
In June, Cedar Run Company Training & Wellness Center, one of the area’s premier animal boarding, daycare, grooming and training providers, will open its new training & wellness center and vet clinic at 2701 Robins Road in Hiawatha. Owner Sonia Wiltsey, Dr. Loni Ellsworth DVM, the Cedar Run Company team, Hiawatha City Council and HEDCO Board members are pictured here at a ribbon cutting Thursday, May 28. An open house celebration will be held Saturday, May 30th.
The new facility is 9,000-square-feet on a 2.82-acre lot and offers a comprehensive suite of animal health and wellness services under one roof line. The veterinary clinic features state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment capabilities, while the wellness & training center will provide individualized sessions and group classes using positive reinforcement methods. The facility also includes an underwater treadmill, an advanced therapeutic tool used to support post-surgical recovery, weight management, and conditioning for dogs.
The ribbon cutting marks the latest milestone in Cedar Run’s growth story. It was founded in 2011 by Wiltsey, who co-founded Last Hope Animal Rescue in 2004 and ran a shelter for rescue dogs out of her home before launching Cedar Run. The company has grown from four employees to more than 90, with Hiawatha locations (2705 Stonegate Court and 860 N. 20th Ave.) offering boarding, daycare, grooming, and training.
