I took my chicken in for an unknown issue - after X-rays, turns out she had repro cancer. I took her home to be a chicken while she could be. When it was clear that her body was struggling, I took her in for euthanasia. I didn't stay while they did it - despite raising my girls from chicks they run from me unless I have treats (not really pets) - and my blubbering would have been more stressful to her than the calm vet. They didn't judge me for not staying, and when we picked up her body to bury, they had some feathers in a jar, feet prints, and a few days later I got a card. I appreciate the extra care and thoughtfulness - she was a sweet bird and she deserved the gentle transition she got from the team. read more

This office is amazing! I have yet to have a negative encounter with anyone in any capacity. It is obvious they care for their patients. And their family members. It might take a bit to get in, but I can't imagine trusting the care of my sweet girl with anyone else. read more

Paw Patch - Chloe just had to come see her friends at The Paw Patch. - Veterinarians Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I brought in a kitten I found on the side of the freeway. Her leg was broken and dangling and the tip of her tail was degloved. When I explained this to the two women at the front desk, they looked at each other and started cackling for a solid 5-10 seconds. (I don't know their names, but one was sunburnt and had a Karen haircut and the other just looked like Bruce Vilanch) Sunburn turned to Bruce and said "I guess we're just having one of those days " as though she was in a sitcom about a moron who was mistakenly hired at a veterinary hospital. Meanwhile, this poor kitten lay in my arms writhing in agony. Bruce then furrowed her brow, and with all the urgency of a waterlogged mattress, sighed and told Sunburn to take the kitten to the back so the doctor could look at her. Minutes later, when it was decided it would be best to take the kitten to an emergency clinic, Sunburn lazily suggested printing out a list of clinics I could choose from instead of just telling me where the nearest one was. Before leaving, I confronted Sunburn about the laughter and suggested she and Bruce try a little (expletive) professionalism next time, to which she placed a hand on her leathery chest, mouth agape in disbelief. While I can understand a certain level of detachment in this field, the lack of urgency and tact was astounding and upsetting. I would not bring a stray to this location, let alone one of my own pets in a time of need. read more

My husband and I recently adopted a new pup and we took her to get spayed! They took amazing care of our sweet girl! As new pup parents, they were very patient in answering our questions and going over all post op care. We told our sweet girl that she has to come back for a recheck and her tail immediately started to wag. She can't wait to see her friends again at the vet. Highly recommend. read more

We have had a great experience here. We are fostering a puppy 'Onyx' that ended up testing positive for some really tough stuff and this clinic was awesome in helping her get thru her challenges. Dr T was calling us frequently to check on her and could really tell he cares about his patients greatly. I would highly recommend this clinic and Dr Erik T. and staff. They are also Fear Free certified. We have had great experiences every time we have gone there and they have been very helpful and knowledgeable read more

If I could give them - stars i would, but they actually do good work. The front staff is disrespectful, rude, and heavily opinionated . They attempted to charge us $400 for 30 min of removing hair from my dogs wound. When asked how or why it got infected the vet kind of smirked and said "well I guess we'll never know. She mentioned that it could be due to his grooming. then scheduled a grooming appointment because dr.finnegan suggested that be one of the solutions. The first grooming appointment got cancelled and rescheduled to the following week Thursday April 13. Upon waking up on the day of the appointment I had received yet another text informing me that again they wouldn't be able to groom my dog and my appointment needed to be rescheduled again. I received this news at 9am and was scheduled to come in the same day at 11am. I arrived 9 min behind schedule and was told that they could no longer see me until later because they had other patients soon to come in. Mind you, they cancelled on me that morning. I was able to reschedule because of their error, yet when I arrive 9 min late I am told that I must wait another hour or come back at 3pm. The vets are so great, and do fantastic work. But they will try to squeeze every penny out of you. And when inquiring about any of the charges on the bill it seems to infuriate the staff even more. read more

I have been to this business once, and will definitely be returning. My experience was wonderful. The staff was friendly, caring and very helpful. One of my three kitties was not feeling the best, and while we are only about half way through the meds, he seems to be doing better. Dr. Finnegan was a joy to work with, as well as Lesley, the vet tech. I appreciate the concern by the staff, and how caring they were while we were there, and after. Thank you, Paw Patch, for helping Leonard begin to feel better. We will be back in to see you soon for Jake and Zoey's check ups :) read more

Really appreciated the holistic approach, as well as the openness from Dr. Shaw and all the vet nurses and techs. I was glad also to receive some wisdom as far as training our puppy. read more

Price gauges. Make sure you do your research before making that appointment. They will take u a bunch of bs about required shots when rabies is the only one required by law. Edit: my experience might of been terrible either due to my skin or the breed of my dog. read more

I was here today for the pet wash side of Pet Paws.You sign in at the veterinarian desk and they'll take you to one of the pet wash rooms.You have your own room with a door and all the supplies necessary. Pet Paws supplies shampoo and conditioner in a convenient spray hose, thick towels and aprons for yourself. The stainless steel tub is deep and at a decent height with minimal stooping. Since my husband usually brings our Aussi for bathtime, the staff covered everything available for her bath. There is even a call light to the desk if you need assistance. A ramp is available for the pets to use but my girl wouldn't use this one so we picked her up. The room is quite, clean, warm, and with the door closed blocks out office or dogs in next room. After bathing a dryer is available in the room, with a very long hose, to dry your pet. Her bath went without incident and she even allowed me to partially dry her. She's terrified of blow dryers, sweepers, loud appliances but this dryer didn't seem as loud to her but powerful. Overall I was happy with the facility, staff, cleanliness, temp of water, supplies and equipment provided. read more

We are so happy we found The Paw Patch and especially Dr Tysklind! The staff is so wonderful and welcoming. Everyone is dedicated to a high standard of pet care. They are so thorough and run things more like a Doctors office. I am confident we are getting the best care for our precious pups! read more

dr. T saved my 13 year old cat maya's life. i'll never use another vet. originally i took her to the 'cat care clinic' where they over vaccinated her + pulled her tooth w/ out permission. this threw her whole system out of whack causing her to stop eating + drinking. i was crushed, my little furry soul mate was now fighting for her life. fortunately my good friend made me take her to visit dr. T. he put her on a vigilant health plan which saved her life for a fraction of the price i paid elsewhere. he is a bright, kind, honest, fair man. i'm eternally grateful. read more

We adopted a Lab from Love of Labs rescue agency. He came with a clean bill of health and we had him checked ourselves and he came up clean again. Subsequently, he was diagnosed with heart worms. After paying over $400 for the first shot, Love of Labs was kind enough to cover the last two but said we would have to take him to their vet on the northwest side of Indy (we live in Noblesville). Trying to take a 85 pound lab anywhere is difficult, but especially in a Mustang with small seats and a stick shift so I hesitated, but remembered 2 more $400 shots and off we went to the Paw Patch. Extremely glad we did. Far too many vets know how much we care about our 4 legged family members and take advantage of that love. Dr. Tysklind is not like that. From the word go, he was caring and very concerned. In between the 2 shots he provided, he took it upon himself to contact the drug companies to gain information on how Lundy was testing positive after he was negative and had been on preventive meds since we adopted him. He learned some new information and provided some recommendations for additional treatments. Due to the distance, we have continued to see our vet in Noblesville, yet 3 months later, Dr. Tysklind took it upon himself to contact us and check up on Lundy. Just last week, he again took it upon himself to call and see how he was doing after 6 months even though Lundy is no longer a active patient. I think it is pretty easy to see that this is someone that truly cares. I may have to trade the Mustang GT in for a SUV so Lundy and I can make the trip back and forth for his care!!! read more

This doctor dragged my dog to the other room wile my puppy was laying down on the flor. I have a doberman pincher puppy he is 4 month old. His ear dropped and I just asked to tape it. They charged me 55$!! + were rood to me and my puppy. Just because I came in a last 15 min and doctor was leaving the office. read more

We have been taking our 2 pups here for 7 years and have never once had a bad experience. All staff members are caring and kind. For those of us that are worriers, have no fear, they don't seem to have much trouble squeezing you in last minute most of the time. Highly recommended! read more

Always a great experience at paw patch. Been going there for 30 years. I trust the Dr's there with my dogs. They are very caring and always check up afterwards to make sure my pets are doing good. read more

We love Dr T and the whole staff at Paw Patch. They really love our dogs and treat them like their own.

I have to share my experience to alert pet owners. Why I went there: I pre-paid for rabbies at Human Society and they gave me a list of clinics where I could go to get my newly adopted Lab for her rabbies vaccination. Paw Patch was closest so I took my Lab to them for rabbies and nail clipping. 1st bad experience: The doctor brought my dog out of the room after clipping her nails and said atleast 4 times in a very loud voice "your dog needs training" and jerked her leash while she was doing nothing but standing beside him. My dog coughed when her jerked the leash and I took her leash from the doctor. My husband and I was so shocked and did not know how to respond. I really regret now that why I did not say anything to the doctor about this kind of behavior. (By the way--I specifically asked Petsmart about my dogs behavior when they clipped her nails. They said she is a sweetheart and was not a problem at all) 2nd bad experience: When I made the payment I realized they had charged me for rabbies vaccination as well. I should have checked the bill before I actually paid but somehow I did not. I told them that the first thing that I gave to them was the document from Human Society stating that I have pre-paid for rabbies. They asked me to show the document again--which I did. I stood there for 10 minutes while they tried to adjust the bill--apparently they were not sure how to adjust the bill. Finally they adjusted the bill and one of the women told me they will send my dog's stool test results and rabbies certificate in mail because something was wrong with the system so she could not print out the rabbies certificate. 3rd bad experience: I never received the test results and rabbies certificate in mail. I waited for over a month and just called two days ago to remind them. They did offer to fax it to me--I do not have fax at home so I picked up the documents in person. 4th bad experience: This 4th one actually happened before the 3rd one. I noticed one day that my dog was limping and her toe was swollen. I got really worried and called Paw Patch (because they are her vet). They asked to bring her in. I went and the same doctor was there. His first comments for my dog were "oh the trouble-maker is here" "What have you done now?" I told him that she's limping but I did not see what happened to her. The doctor checked her--she behaved really well and let him check everything except that she burped right on his face! What could I do about it. :). He said he can't tell what's wrong with her toe and will have to do an X-ray. I asked him what are the possiblities--can it be broken--extended--or anything else. He said it could be anything and he can't tell without an x-ray. I asked him to give me an estimate of the x-ray. He went outside and came back with an estimated bill: over $350--around $400. I was just looking at the bill--did not know what to say--and he said "there's no other way, this is the only way we do it". I made a mental calculation of how much I have in my credit cards--and realized I did not have that much at that time. I told him I'm going to wait for a couple of days and asked him to give some painkillers. He gave some painkillers, Rimadyl, and a shot of painkiller. My bill was over $97. I talked to some friends--everyone said over $350 is too much for the x-ray. One of my friends suggested I go to Michigan Road Animal Hospital and get a second opinion. I went there..they were delightful people..the doctor did a thorough examination and said a bee or a spider had stung my dog's toe. She gave some other painkillers(Tremadol) and asked me to wait and see for 3 days. If it doesnt get better then they'll do an x-ray. The estimated cost was around $116. I and my dog left satisfied with their service and with a $50 bill. By the 3rd day--my dog was much better. By the 4th day--I did not need to give her painkillers at all because she was running and playing and not limping at all. She's perfectly fine now. It was a bee/spider bite for which the Paw Patch doctor wanted to do an x-ray and charge me over $350. If I had the money at that time--I would have gone with what he was saying because he said there was no other way and I was extremely concerned about my dog. I will try to avoid this place as much as I can. I hope I am never in a situation where I have to take my dog there again. read more

We have taken all of our dogs to Dr. T and the Paw Patch since we adopted our first dog almost 12 years ago. The staff is thoughtful and follows up after every appointment, and they know our family members and our animals by name. Dr. T is very thorough and thoughtful in his examinations and treatment of our dogs - including consulting with, and referring us to, specialists in the area and at Purdue when we've been confronted with more serious conditions like cancer or heart problems. What is most important to him is the health of our dogs - not his ego or his business. Quite simply - Dr. T and his staff treat our dogs like they were their own. They also provide patients with the option to sign up for an annual wellness plan, providing you with discounts for basic wellness visits and treatments (like vaccines, heart worm checks, etc) for your pets. We will not go anywhere else for our regular vet care! read more

good people, will help fix your dog, but are not the cheapest and will recommend multiple procedures for something that might take 1 simple fix...possibly to run up the bill. if on a budget or don't like being peddled for possibly unnecessary procedures, look somewhere else. read more

We have been taking our dogs Portia and Ginger to the Paw Patch and Dr. T for close to 12 years. Dr T a great vet and has an amazing ability to calm pets down with his humorous demeanor. In addition, he is fantastic with people and is just a great communicator...which makes the overall experience that much better. read more
