Animal Care Clinic

Excellent pet care and wonderful doctors! My 9 year old Akita had been fairly healthy except for some allergy issues that have been a problem every year around fall. I've taken her to two other vet clinics with her in Lexington and both of them acted afraid of my big baby! They would insist on a muzzle and would barely touch her for her exam. As a result they missed some underlying issues like dental disease, a possible mass underneath her armpit, and just never got a thorough exam! Not only that but they were risking her health by giving a long acting steroid injection AND steroids for home. Dr Winke took his time giving her a very thorough exam, going through history, explaining every bit of the exam and procedures. He also figured out a bit of what we thought was old age urinary incontinence was actually a urinary tract infection needing antibiotics. Being that she's an older girl I was fairly nervous about placing her under anesthesia for a dental cleaning but Dr Winke did bloodwork and explained how they use every bit of anesthesia monitoring, IV fluids, and the works just like human doctors! He went over her bloodwork and after getting her teeth sparkling clean he continued to check on us until the urinary problems were resolved. They also explained about their wonderful Wellness Plans and gave us a free ID tag for her! Overall I am extremely pleased and will continue to bring EVERY pet to Animal Care Clinic from now on as well as recommend all my friends do the same!

I wasn't very happy with the aggressive way the assistant handled my dog. She was very impatient and easily stressed. She was also a bit gothic looking with dyed black hair and shaved eyebrows. The veterinarian was overall good, but the bill was very expensive for just routine care. I would not recommend this place just based on the fact that I love my dog and do not like seeing him mishandled. I went for a vet service not for that assistant to try and "train" him.

Awesome practice! The facility is top notch and the best that I have seen in Lexington. It looks like they have all the bells n' whistles and state-of-the art equipment. This shouldn't be too surprising, though, considering that the clinic is located in the nicest part of Lexington (Palomar/Beaumont).



I took my cat to get fixed and vaccines at ACC. I was so impressed with the service that Dr. Dunn provided for my cat, that a few months later I had her perform surgery on him to take care of something that could have posed a problem down the road. My cat is now in tip-top shape. I was so impressed with the service I received that I would not contemplate going anywhere else.



Other reviewers have mentioned that there might be cheaper vets in Lexington. Assuming this is true, lets be honest here: lots of Lexington is down right ghetto. I feel safe sending my wife or myself to ACC because it is in such a nice part of town. The quality of the facility, great staff, PLUS being in the safest part of town made this practice well worth every dollar I spent on my cat.

We had a terrific life with our pet Whitey. He has been a patient of the Animal Care Clinic since he was a puppy. After many years, Whitey just got old and the inevitable happened as we lost our pet. The Drs and staff were so compassionate and helpful to him and our family. We were so touched by the heart-warming card with Whitey's Hair and paw print, plus the wonderful Chicken Soup book and the occasional "check-in". Dr. Butch is not just our vet, but a life long friend.



As we decide if we will have another pet, we will return to Animal Care Clinic to manage his care. There is no greater feeling to know that your pet is always well-cared for. For all the years with Whitey, I firmly believe that his quality and quantity of life was greatly improved because of the Animal Care Clinic's excellent service and care.



Thanks for all that you do!
