I've been bringing our pets to Animal Hospital of Nicholasville (AHON) since I moved to Kentucky…read more20'ish years ago. I'm pretty sure this is right around when Dr. Fox started with AHON. I used to live in Garrard County and would pass AHON on trips to/from Lexington. Between recognizing the name from my drives and a good friend's recommendation - I decided to take our 'kids' there. We started seeing Dr. Fox with my (2) transplanted cats who each lived to around 19 years old. We had to euthanize them (within a year apart) and I still feel - to this day - Dr. Fox's compassion. We then were adopted by a community cat who - once we moved him inside - discovered was FIV positive. Through AHON, I learned about caring for a FIV kitty and ended up adopting another FIV positive kitten through them. In 2011- we decided we were ready for a puppy and adopted a German Shepherd through the No Kill shelter in Lancaster. Just this past December we had to let my boy go and my heart still aches just writing about him (you will my beautiful boy on AHON's recently departed board). Again - the support for the hardest decision a pet owner has to make - from Dr. Fox and the entire AHON team - was unforgetable. They have a room specifically dedicated to saying goodbye and help you both before and after with the painful process. On the less emotional side of this review - I've always been able to easily schedule appointments and once there - have never felt rushed. The staff takes the time to educate me and enable me to best care for my 4-legged kids. We moved to Lexington 7 years ago and I still take them to AHON because I can't think of anywhere else I'd trust more with their lives. Thank you, Dr. Fox and AHON, for all you do.

We've been clients of this clinic for about three years and, until recently, had trusted them with…read morethe care of our pets through some very difficult moments--including saying goodbye to two of our senior dogs. Over that time, we worked with multiple veterinarians here and spent thousands of dollars, so we genuinely believed there was a level of mutual trust and respect. In the past, the clinic had shown some flexibility when large bills came up, which we appreciated as loyal, long-term customers. However, our most recent visit completely changed our perception. We were quoted $254 for routine blood and urine testing, which is already on the higher side. When we asked for just a couple of days to settle the payment--something that had been accommodated before--we were unexpectedly refused. Instead, we were pressured at the front desk to apply for a credit line on the spot, and we were not allowed to leave until we addressed the payment situation. The experience felt incredibly uncomfortable, forced, and frankly disrespectful. After years of loyalty and significant financial commitment, being treated this way was shocking. It felt like the clinic no longer values its long-term clients and has shifted toward a rigid, impersonal, and customer-unfriendly approach. Between the high pricing and the way this situation was handled, we've decided to take our business elsewhere. This was, without question, one of the worst experiences we've had at any veterinary clinic. We will not be returning.

I have had several animals vetted there prior to change in ownership and they were wonderful. Even helped me with my semi feral cat who gets bad allergy breakouts. They vetted him by picture and it worked. Otherwise, I have to trap the poor kitty with a coon trap. New vet won't prescribe the medication (saying it's illegal / a steroid) unless he is seen. Won't to do it with pictures even though we've been treating him for years this way (he's indoor for 9 years but still won't be picked up). So the cat gets to suffer OR be mentally anguished by being trapped. I guess the original vet wasn't worried about jail time. He was worried for the animal. Will be taking ALL my animals elsewhere going forward.

My standard poodle, Bailey, had an accident which chipped her heel and tore her achilles tendon…read morefrom the bone and shredded it. Went to a doc in Cynthiana was told what the damage was and I needed an orthopedic surgeon. They said there was no one locally that did that kind of surgery. I could go to Cincinnati or Louisville or there is one that travels to Georgetown periodically that they would put me in touch with. They said it would be expensive $4500+ and it would be 2 weeks before he could do it. If I couldn't afford it then they said I could do nothing and it would just hang there with no use or amputate! I refused to believe there was no one else!! Lexington?! Really?!? So in a panic I started calling vets to see if I could get referrals for a vet that does orthopedic surgery and I got several diff referrals and was waiting for callbacks when I called the Animal Care Clinic in Lexington. Lori answered the phone right away and was so kind and helped calm me down then she said "let me call the Dr and I will call you right back." I sent her images for Bailey's leg and figured it would be awhile but within 5 min she called me back and said "the Dr said come in the morning and he will take a look and that he thought he could help her." I literally cried! The next morning I walked into the office. I was amazed!!! There wasn't room full of people and their pets in an overcrowded waiting room. It was like walking into a very nice hospital! It was decorated so nicely! It was clean and organized! I immediately was greeted by Ms. Christina at reception and she took me straight to a room. Lori came in and then Dr. Schroyer. He examined Bailey and sat down and explained her injury, how he would repair it, recovery time etc. I was worried it was going to be a fortune but he was so much more affordable! It made it possible for us to afford it. The surgery went great. We went home and the office would call periodically to check on her progress between follow-up visits. Animal Care Clinic was the ABSOLUTE BEST clinic I have ever been to!! Working with rescues I have seen quite a few clinics so I can say with confidence you will not be disappointed with Animal Care Clinic!!! We stop by just to say hi when we're are in Lex!! She runs in so excited to see everyone!!! I figured she would be afraid to go in but even today she gets so excited!!! A dog being happy to go to the vet's office after surgery?!??! That should say it all!!! Bailey is great today and we want to thank the entire Animal Care Clinic, Dr. Schroyer and the entire staff!!! They are part of our family now!!
