Reviews of IndyVet Emergency & Specialty Hospital
Kari Barnett
Staff was very nice and took good care of our dog Abel. I expressed concerns of someone coming up to the vehicle outside and they were very kind and accommodating and took us straight to an exam room once we arrived. They were very thorough and explained every test and what to expect. They will definitely be my go to place anytime I have a pet emergency from now on! Taking the time to listen to concerns and took a scary situation for us very seriously. But from the front desk to the tech to the vet everyone was so kind. Abel is feeling so much better!!
Scott Weddle
The entire staff at Indy vet was very helpful and friendly and the doctor was very knowledgeable more so than what I feel others would have been able to figure out to do with our cat! They did a wonderful job diagnosing our cat getting him back to good health I would recommend them to anyone when you have an emergency for your pet!
Nikki Combs
Loki received excellent care, and we are forever grateful for the help and empathy from everyone; receptionists, lab techs, and both veterinarians. We appreciate the vet's details of Loki's condition. He answered all of our questions so we could make informed decisions for our pets long-term care.
Elizabeth Sosbe
They are the best! They saved my dogs life! And they are so VERY caring! They let you know prices before you panic to figure out how your going to have to pay and the prices are reasonable! I will never go anywhere again! I just wish I could come here for all my dogs Regular check ups. I LOVE THEM!
Jennifer L Abrams
I was very happy to have found this pet ER. The staff, from the front desk to the techs to the vet are all wonderful. They really care about you and your pet. I really can't say enough about them considering we had to say good-bye to our Watson that night and they were so caring, compassionate and professional at the same time. That can't be easy to do time and again in the face of a crying pet parent but they do it. If you need help with your pet go here, they are worth it. Thank you all so much for your kindness, you made a horrible night a little bit better. I know Watson felt it too! Here is a picture of Watson following her sister Sherlock. They were always together.
Ashley Voorhies
We ended up here last night after our one year old pup ate something he shouldn’t have. Our experience was great, especially during such a scary time. The staff were all so kind and knowledgeable. The Vet took the time to go over everything and make us feel comfortable with their diagnosis as well as the procedure he would need to undergo. The wait time was what we expected for an emergency clinic, as well as the pricing. I really appreciated all of the help and communication and my pup is feeling so much better today. Overall, I highly recommend and would choose again if we ever have an emergency. Thank you so much, IndyVet & Dr. Roman!
Jodi Fish
We are amazed at the caring and professional staff at Indy Vet. We were afraid that we would lose our sweet Bailey girl. Your quick treatment plan along with answered prayer saved her life. We called periodically while she was hospitalized to check on her progress and we were always treated with care and kindness; the staff never acted like it was a burden. We were also allowed to visit with our furbaby. We need more clinics like Indy Vet across Indiana! They truly treat your beloved pet as their pet!
Tabetha Milligan
This is truly hard to post, last night our beloved Yorkie Poo, Chance, was attacked by coyotes. I found him in a field and instantly panicked trying to find an emergency vet close to us. IndyVet was the closest. I just wanna thank everyone there last night that tried to save our ChancyPoo and for being so thorough, caring and informative about next actions needed. I’d also really love to thank all of you for being so patient with us while we said goodbye and allowing us to be there so he didn’t have to go alone but surrounded by his family. Your vet and staff truly care for the animals in your care. Again thank you.
Tori Abram- Copenhaver
IndyVet was incredible. The facilities were clean and well taken care of. The staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. After check in we were shown to a private exam room with a TV and comfortable seating. The tech vet was prompt to come in and take our dog's vitals. Going to an emergency clinic is never quick, as they are all working triage, but they provided free water and coffee while we waited. Once the vet arrived she gave a thorough exam and spoke with us about the situation. We would highly recommend IndyVet to anyone.
Kimirly Black
Thank you for making today as easy as possible for my mother and I. Your well trained team made us feel very comfortable in a sad situation. Thank you for treating my fur brother with the respect and dignity he deserved. He's comfortably buried in his final resting spot at home. Thank you again!
Kathryn Kittaka
We have had a great experience with IndyVet from the initial phone call we had prior to us bringing our dog in. They are very thorough and took extensive time answering all of our questions and providing updates while our dog was hospitalized. The vets took their time with our case and we never once felt rushed. We truly felt that they had our pups best interest in mind, which was comforting. The knowledge and care they provided has allowed us to bring our pup home for Christmas. The amount of time that was taken providing us updates and answering all of our questions throughout our pups stay in the hospital was phenomenal. This is an experience that we hope our pup never goes through again, but we now know that there will be a place that she will receive the best care possible if needed.
Latisha Cox
The best vet experience we have ever had. The amount of love and compassion that was given not only to our fur baby, but us as well, was incredible. You can just tell they care about your pet as much as you do. Would give 10 stars if possible. Dr. Klein and all of her staff were so sweet to our baby. To the point of getting on the floor with her to help ease her anxiety. They loved on her and did anything possible to make her more comfortable. But I feel like the friendly faces truly start as soon as you walk in the door. Thank you for your outstanding care to all the staff at Indy Vet!!
Cosme
Amazing place! I took my cat in to be spayed and the lovely receptionist gave ME some Trazadone and smacked me upside the head until I passed out in the waiting area, and I didn’t worry one bit! One very quick procedure later and my lovely Mochi comes back with her little tongue flopping out and her eyes flopping around like a fish out of water! I took her home the next day. My cat walks a little funny and speaks in a lovely Boston accent now, so sadly I cannot give it 5 stars, but other than that I totally recommend!
Tania Doran
The vet techs are very knowledgeable efficient and caring. I wasn't able to see the vet last night with Rosie, but the vet saw her. Turns out my dog really didn't need their services, which was a relief. She was going to be fine and this morning, she is! For anyone reading this review, make sure all your Delta eight is stowed away safely from pets. I still don't know how my dog got a hold of what little I have here! But she must have. I've been to Indy Vet quite a few times over the years with my different dogs, and the care has been consistently excellent.
I'm very grateful that such high quality veterinary services are available period, and for 24 hous/day.
Cassandra Mendes
You have an amazing team. Our beloved Chihuahua, Snuggles, suffered a medical emergency and IndyVet made her feel comfortable and dearly loved during a scary time. I can't thank you enough! Thank you for your quick response to Snuggles’s emergency upon arrival & the endless love and care you provided to her. Shoutout to Dr Z & Amanda!!!
Sarah Anderson
Everyone from check in/out, to technician, to provider have went above and beyond! They have shown me and my doggie so much kindness and compassion! They have thoroughly explained everything every step of the way! Lastly, my baby girl usually doesn't like going to the vet, when we came for our follow up appointment she was actually excited to be back! Thank you for everything you all have done for my sweet baby girl! Everyone at Indy Vet has been genuine and compassionate about getting my baby girl better!
C T
Everyone from the moment I stepped in the door was friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and efficient.
Dr Tabor was wonderful. She explained what she planned to do, came back to review her findings, let me know how my baby was progressing, and gave me options for aftercare
I could hear the way the triage staff greeted other anxious pet owners and answered calls from the exam room where I waited. They were so kind and calm which seemed to help scared pet parents.
Everything was bright and clean. Nicer than most human emergency departments.
Jason Schmidt
Everyone working at IndyVet has been friendly and helpful, and clearly cares about the patients. I have only personally seen the lobby and exam rooms, but the facility seems to be very well equipped for handling a large variety of problems. Unfortunately I have experienced very long wait times both times I have visited, but I'm sure that's because of triage and prioritization, and IndyVet has helped my dog successfully both times. If you're taking your pet to the ER and it's not a critical emergency (such as a respiratory problem), be prepared for a delay, especially around the holidays. They'll get to you as quickly as possible, but they do prioritize based on how quickly care needs to be given and severity of case. They have complimentary water and coffee available, and vending machines with a larger variety of snacks and drinks. Definitely happy knowing there are good, experienced, capable people available in an emergency for our non-human family members! We really appreciate the high level of care given to the patients!
Stephanie Tyink
Dr. Klein and her staff were quick yet thorough and very kind to me and my fur baby Max. She explained things to me and made sure all my questions got answered. Dr. Klein did a thorough look inside my pets eye. While he may need surgery in the future she didn't feel a need to jump into right now. I appreciated Dr. Klein's honesty and genuine care for Max.
Morgan Hogue
I understand the wait time because you never know whats going on with other pets, but is there a way to make the waiting rooms more comfortable for people? Im disabled and was there almost 5 hours. I am super happy with the staff and care for my animal and wouldn't change anything about it. The vet tech who went above and beyond helping me once she knew i was disabled. She helped me carry my pet to my car and was extra kind to me in explaining everything to where i could understand it.
Nikki Hurley-Hines
Dr. Wood and the oncology department treated my cat, Kitty, for the last 15 months of her life. Dr. Wood set appropriate and realistic expectations for my husband and I from the beginning when Kitty started chemotherapy. Without treatment, she was given ~60 days to live, and with treatment, she could have 9 months or more. As I said, she beat the odds and made it 15. She had been hospitalized twice during her treatment and was able to recover. Unfortunately, about three weeks ago, the time came to put her to sleep as her cancer had spread, and her quality of life was diminishing. It was one of the worst days of my life, and I’m thankful Dr. Wood was there to help us make the decision to end her suffering. She always recommended what she knew was in Kitty’s best interest. We are so grateful to IndyVet and the oncology and neurology department for taking such good care of her and giving us extra time she likely wouldn’t have had otherwise due to her terminal cancer. There’s no question or doubt in our minds that they loved and cared for her.
Joe .Halstead
Came across dr Davidsen on one of the worst days of my life. She kept my dog alive long enough for me to see him when he has a mass rupture in his stomach. My eyes were swelled shut by the time I got there. She was nice and gave me all the time in the world with Gunnery Sergeant Hartman “Gunny” to say what we needed to say.
She’s a little gem thanks for helping my family and my boy.
Heather Lindsay
IndyVet staff was all very helpful, although they were busy. The techs and vets are very knowledgeable and took good care of my cat. I hope I don't have to go back, but will not be as anxious next time, knowing that they will take good care of him. The staff took time even when busy to answer my questions and give updates.
Jessica H.
When I initially called for scheduling - my call was answered... by a person (NO VOICEMAIL!). I called IndyVet after waiting nearly a week for a callback from another Oncology center (and calling them multiple times of the week, speaking with multiple people and leaving multiple messages - and here we are almost a month later and I still haven't heard back from them). It was a little bit of a wait for the surgery consult but after the consult, we are lucky enough to be getting in for surgery within 24 hours of the consult. I appreciate that the goal is to get it completed on an outpatient basis - and hopefully save a little money, as this has been an expensive journey already. I'm not used to an office being concerned about the cost to me - so I really appreciate that. Thus far, they have been very patient with me/my pet and very thorough. I appreciate the level of care for my pet while also taking cost into consideration. Also, being taken directly into a room vs sitting in a hectic waiting area was very helpful for alleviating some of the stress on my girl.
Aaron Sparks
I was very pleased with the service and friendliness. The price was a little steep. I get it's an ER, but I just feel for ppl who love their pets as much as me, but can't afford 5k for surgery. I do thank all of you for saving my baby girl though. You can't really put a price on that. The friendliness and care that each staff member showed. I could tell everyone cared for the animals and the job they do.
Addison Sparks
Very thankful that this clinic was open the night before Thanksgiving! I brought my cat in for an issue that could not wait until her visit with her regular vet the following week. Wait time was very long (8 hours), but our case was not as emergent as others. I recommend bringing a phone charger but they have coffee and snacks in the waiting room. Dr. Matusiak-Flynn and the technician were very kind and handled my pet with great care.
marissa shugart
I felt very supported by the workers here. My kittens doctor was confident and that gave me some relief. I was able to get her home within 1 night when the last hospital was unsure if she was going to be okay and unsure when I would have her home. They took well care of her and trimmed her nails! I'm just grateful she is doing better and was cared for by the loving team at IndyVet. I wouldn't go anywhere else in the future for important pet emergencies. The compassion my kittens doctor had for her and myself made me feel very safe while relying on them to handle my kittens life.
Christine McKinley
I was pleased with the care but the vet suggested I have my dog put to sleep because of a broken shoulder if I was not going to get her leg amputated. The surgery was $8000. I asked them to keep her overnight instead and see how she did into the following day. The next day I went to pick her up and it was a different vet and she said she thought it was worth trying to take her home and see how she does.
It is now a week later and she is doing really good. I'm not sure why the first doctor made me feel like it was the surgery or putting her to sleep. Thank God I did not listen to him. On the plus side the rest of the staff was very friendly and caring.
Michele Wright
Dr. Gillespie has cared for 3 of my cats - 2 have passed on and she now sees the third. I trust her implicitly. She takes time to explain everything so that I understand it. She calls me quickly with test results, sometimes at 7:00 pm at night. She understands that we have limits on what we can do financially and gives me options & explains them. I know without a doubt that she has her furry patients best interests at heart. She is by far the most knowledgeable and emphatic doctor that I've ever worked with.
Donna Dayton
Dr. Zaremba, the nurses, vet techs and office staff were wonderful. When your pet is seriously ill it's important to show kindness and compassion which was evident among the staff. Dr. Zaremba was very thorough and took time to explain everything to me.
Although the wait was long, I realized it was because others were receiving the same level of care. I most appreciated they treated Gunnar with respect and as an individual. They took the time to explain his condition and prognosis in a way that was easy to understand.
Annette Mccreary
I would not hesitate to recommend IndyVet. Dr. White and his staff are first rate! My 12 year old dog had surgery and from the first appointment to the last appointment, I was extremely happy with the service we received. They are so kind and helpful and very professional. Thanks for taking care of my girl!
Natalie Booker
You guys are great! I like that we get immediate care when our little fur baby is sick. We've been there with our dog and cat for emergencies, and I've happy you are open when we need it, even in the middle of the night. We drive from Bedford to get great care. M dog seemed like he couldn't catch his breath, and the front desk person paged triage to the lobby to check him out. I really appreciate that!
Catherine Compton
Everyone was so caring and considerate as we faced the most difficult decisions for our beloved kitty. I never once felt rushed or pushed into a decision. I felt like the whole team had mine and my pet's best interest at heart from the moment I walked in. I am so grateful to everyone at IndyVet for their compassion and professionalism. I don't know how you all do what you do, but you make the world a better place for sure. Thank you.
Alisa Sowder
The separate waiting rooms are very clean and nice. The explanation I received from the veterinarian was very detailed but perhaps a little too verbose. I appreciated making sure I understood, however. The level of care toward my pet was outstanding.
M.A. Taylor (Alice)
Excellent communication and follow-up. From the doctor calling with updates and explanations to the discharge papers giving a complete diagnosis (so I don't have to remember what the doctor told me.) I also appreciate the 24/7 aspect of care. That gave me a level of comfort that if my dog started feeling badly during the night, I could immediately take him in for treatment. Finally, the level of expertise in caring for my dog. The doctors were extremely knowledgeable and up-to-date on the latest medical tests and procedures. I felt like I was getting the best care possible for my dog.
Kara Rouker
The service I received was prompt, empathetic, and knowledgeable. They took great care of Molly and me. the quick service was so important because Molly was having a medical issue that caused her obvious distress and was alarming to witness. They took her straight back and got to work on her and kept me informed throughout the process.
Dan W
Couldn't ask for a nicer and more honest Dr to deal with for a pet. Not just in it to push people through and get to the next appointment, he sat down with us and explained everything after a very positive initial check up before surgery it was found to not be necessary.
The time given by the Dr to discuss and was not in any hurry to move to the next patient really means a lot.
Anna Woolf
Very positive experience!! Staff was friendly and worked urgently to get my cat all cleaned up after he was bit by another cat. They did a full work up on him including X-rays and wound cleaning. I found the prices to be reasonable!
tim bowman
They have helped me with two service dogs in the last few years. They did everything they could for Princess and they could save her. And they did save my Fred. They are amazing and caring and I wouldn't go any where else.
Annelisa Jamison
Excellent staff, did a great job with our cat. One suggestion please inform owners what will happen when their cat arrives home after a catheter has been removed. So not prepared for cat pee all over the house. Really hard to to keep him stress free.
megan bell
Izzy was seen quickly, and the care she received was thorough. The vet tech was knowledgable with Izzy's current status as an oncology patient there and that gave me a lot of comfort. Dr. Fischer's care, follow up phone call, and notes were detailed and I felt that everyone who saw Izzy really cared about her. The CSRs are friendly and helpful. I really appreciate the compassionate care we received.
Jennifer Utke
On 8/28 we took our 14 year old dog here. Turned out he was full of cancer and we had to make the decision to put him to sleep. Not an easy thing to do.They waited until all our family to get there before putting him to sleep. It was nice to have him surrounded by all those who loved him. Thank you for your kindness 🙏 and support during our difficult time
Lauren Lehr
The staff was amazing when I brought in a dog I was babysitting who got attacked by a stray. They were very black and white on costs and next steps. Everybody at the front desk was so sweet and understanding. The vet was the only one working with an insane amount of urgent cases so we did have a hefty wait but they assured us they were keeping Blue comfortable while he was waiting to get fixed up. Overall they made a horrible and traumatizing experience a lot easier to handle. When I came in I was an absolute wreck. I was sobbing and the girl at the front counter literally jumped up, ran around the counter and asked "where are they?” as she was running out the door to help. She didn't hesitate for a second. Also the vet while extremely over worked took very good care of our Blue. She was very thorough in his care instructions and took the time to make sure our boy was taken care of.
Tom Tarzian
We were treated very well but because you were so busy it took us about 6 hours for everything to be accomplished. Especially appreciate Lauren at the front desk, Dr. Fischer and Dr. Gillespie. The kindness and courtesy of everyone we dealt with were very much appreciated.
Renee Wilson
I knew Odin was in good hands, and I was able to hand him over knowing he was receiving the best care possible. Everyone telling me what a love bug he was, and letting him give kisses. Made me feel they were comforting him emotionally while caring for him physically.
Deanna Geiersbach
This experience was traumatic and the staff, Vets, Surgeons, and techs were all amazing in taking care of my sweet boy and getting him better and keeping me updated, calm, and reassured. The love and care they showed my baby and keeping me updated on how he was doing, letting me come and visit him when he needed to stay.
Shannon Shackelford
Everyone was pleasant and helpful. The vet tech kept us updated and explained options for our pups care. Only negative thing I could express is the wait time, but I knew the wait would be a few hours considering this is a er vet. Plus they are short staffed.
Michelle Graef
The compassion for this staff is unparalleled. My daughter had to make a very difficult decision today in regards to her cat Romeo. The vet clearly explained everything that her cat needed and a rough estimate as to the cost. However when the blood test came back there was only one humaine decision to make. The hard decision to let you best friend go. The vet explained the process and assured my daughter was making the best decision for cat.
Every staff member we came in contact with treated us with the upmost compassion and patience.
Today was a very difficult day and we are thankful for the staff of this emergency pet hospital.
Shaylynn Irwin
Love how sweet and caring the staff are. They are very tentative and thorough. They made sure my girl felt comfortable, and was taken care of. They also kept checking in on me to ensure I was alright or if I needed anything. Though I did go during a less busy timeframe.
lilli
These people are so dedicated and kind. Everything was at my pace. They gave me every option for my beloved cat. They were understanding and supportive. I have never felt so heard and cared for by strangers. I couldn’t imagine going to a different place for such a difficult important time.
Mackenzie Masters
Honestly, the best emergency vet i have ever been to. Everyone was so sweet and very communicative on the processes. I felt very comfortable leaving Willow over night. How honest you guys were about the best care.
Shane Logue
When we had to take our cat in for emergency services, IndyVet's front desk staff promptly got a vet to assist and rolled through the necessary admin items. We cannot say enough how much we appreciated having a private room to wait in and the warm bedside manner of the vet when they gave us the news that they suggest we put the cat down. IndyVet's stellar professionalism and service was much appreciated and we would recommend them to anyone.
Jessica
My little fuzzy face baby was sick, I was worried she ate something she shouldn't have and we made a trip to IndyVet where they lovingly attended to her and helped her feel better, easing my mind by thoroughly examining her. The cost was explained to me before any procedures occurred so I knew what to expect. The outcome was I ended up paying a bit less than expected and my fuzzy face baby was ready to go home. She felt better and after a little rest once we got home, she was up and feeling so much better and was in the most lovey mood.
Sarah Potts
We appreciated being able to stay with our cat throughout the entirety of the waiting process and in between exams by the technicians and doctors. We also liked the check-in process and the quick assessment of Goose's severity when we walked in.
We were able to wait with Goose in an exam room, so we weren't stuck in our car or forced to keep him locked up in his carrier for the duration of our stay. The room had information about nearby food and there was a television available to pass the time.
We were at the vet for a few hours, and the staff did a great job of checking in with us periodically. There were some complimentary drinks available as well as vending machines with drinks and snacks.
Not only did Goose get great care (and has made a full recovery), but the staff did everything they could to make us comfortable in a situation that is usually difficult.
Edit: After reading other reviews, I thought it may be prudent to come back and indicate why we took our cat to the vet.
We woke up on Sunday morning and found he had vomited up mesh ribbon from a new toy we had bought. He became lethargic, was vomiting a ton, wasn't eating and wasn't going to the bathroom. We called our usual vet the next day and they indicated we should get him looked at ASAP because he could have a blockage from the toy. We had to go to IndyVet because our vet didn't have any emergency appointments available.
A technician did an assessment of Goose and it was recommended x-rays be done in an attempt to see if there were any blockages. It was also recommended for blood work to be done. We were given an estimate and agreed to the tests.
Goose was taken back and the doctor let us know his blood work looked good and there weren't any visible blockages - with the caveat that there was a portion of his digestive tract that wasn't clear in the x-rays. It was suggested Goose be given an anti-nausea medicine and go home. The doctor said an ultrasound could be done, but he felt we should see how Goose did on the medicine and with a bland diet for a few days. Our bill for all of the tests, exams and medications was around $650.
I appreciated that we were sent home with a clear plan of care. We also knew what the next steps were should Goose's condition not improve or get worse. I appreciate the doctor didn't try and preemptively force more tests on us.
After a couple of days on the medicine and following the rest of the care plan, Goose was mostly back to normal. I called the vet to let them know he still wasn't pooping. The person who answered the phone took the time to look up our file, consult with the doctor and came back with a clear timeline of when we should return if his condition didn't improve.
In the end, Goose didn't have to return for any further tests or treatment and he is back to his usual, spunky self!
Laura Fritsch
Dr Davidson was very compassionate and empathetic during what turned out to be a very difficult day. She and the other staff members went above & beyond when I had to take my daughter's cat in. She & her husband both had Covid at the time and the staff made compensations for my daughter & her husband to be available to speak with the doctor by phone.
Blake Polen
The Staff at IndyVet helped make a very stressful part of our lives way less stressful. Everyone was caring and very nice. Vets took time out of their day to answer ALL the questions we had, thank you! Care and support from everyone at IndyVet
Sarah Hackworth
My basset was diagnosed with a fatty tumor which ended up being an abscess. After my dog scratched it open and started to bleed everywhere we were told to call Indy Vet, from the vet that diagnosed him. We were all treated with kindness when we walked in the door. They were so wonderful with him! He got treatment and we got answers.Highly recommended!!
Chris Roller
For such a stressful situation, I was blown away by this place. Everyone was so nice and caring. They came by and offered water a couple times and also came in just to check on me. They kept me up to date on everything that was going on. There was one miscommunication that caused a delay and they were so sincerely apologetic. I really felt like the whole staff was supporting me and cared about my pet.
J Jenna
We saw Dr. Mossine today. Very thorough explanation re: Tuffy's seizures, possible causes and treatment plans. Newest research presented to support recommendations. I really appreciated the Discharge Summary at the end of the visit and felt that I had a better understanding of what steps should be taken to minimize my pup's seizures. I loved the whole visit! Dr Mossine is an excellent educator, spent answering all my questions, staff demeanor very good.
Beverly Johnson
I would recommend IndyVet, to anyone who wants excellent quality care for your pet!! I took my dog there thinking there was no hope for him and the vet there fixed him right up and gave him medication and she took her time with him explaining everything thing to us and was so caring as was the whole staff!! Thank you, IndyVet we love you 💜🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕
Mia Wang
We brought our kitten in last night. Her spay incision is infected. The staff, nurses, and doctors were really supportive and kind. We appreciate you guys so much!!!!
Joanna Strefeler
The vets at indy vet are always so attentive to our boy Henry. The first time he was there was after he had many seizures. He stayed 3 nights and had aMRI and ultrasound done and they called us frequently to let use know how he was and if he had any seizures. This time he had a few breakthrough seizures and they ran blood work and upped his medication and he has been doing great since he left there around 9am today. Thank you everyone at indy vet for caring so much for Henry and all the other animals you treat.
Jessica King
Very nice staff, professional care, and very nice, clean facility. The level of confidence the doctor had in speaking about my pet's situation and the level of diagnostic equipment was wonderful and I am extremely pleased. Thank you!
Kathy Pallutch
Very professional, explained everything in detail. Staff were all very kind. Dr Spivack was extremely helpful with explaining the surgery process in detail. The whole experience exceeded my expectations. Gunnar needed blood work before we left and Dr Spivack called me to explain the details of the results - also in a way that was understandable in laymen terms. There was no wait time and the facility is amazing and set up perfectly. Great experience and I would highly recommend to anyone!
Klepto Monster
Staff was wonderful. Very patient with my questions and thorough with explanations. Gentle with my furbaby and made sure every base was covered. Patience and caring demeanor of Dr. and technicians was greatly appreciated.
Amanda Murray
Staff was very friendly, patient, and understanding. Vets were very thorough and answered every question and didn’t do testing that was unnecessary and we’re trying their best to help save money. Highly recommend
Kristen Cowan
Took amazing care of my girl heidi! We really appreciate How well you took care of our baby! Treated her like your own and very much appreciated your level of care and compassion!
Lindsey Cunningham
Dr. Roman saved my dog's life. I am very thankful for the timely and diligent care that he received at IndyVet. I am glad I took my pet here when he needed emergency care and hospitalization.
Susie Gurunian
Indy Vet excellent care for your pet. Everyone there is loving, caring and professional.
TJ Snell
Life savers for our kitty! Last minute and completely thorough exam and treatment. Excellent doctors and caring staff, and at a reasonable price. Only wish they treated humans.
Jamie White
Now that my mind is clear I can type this review. In Feb my beloved Doyle became suddenly ill. My primary vet was stumped as all blood work was great and eye exam normal but he had developed sudden neurological issues.
I called IndyVet and they got me an appointment in 5 days, for a specialist that is amazingly fast.
Dr Mossine and the WHOLE Neurology dept was amazing. On our first visit, they stayed late to make sure my Doyle got an MRI while we were there because they knew we had driven 4hrs to get there. As things went on and dx was made and tx started they were all very supportive, kind, professional and did everything in their power to answer all questions I had, they checked in regularly and Dr Mossine called herself to answer my questions.
The fight was lost for my beloved Doyle but Dr Mossine and her whole team did everything they could to help us win the fight. I never once questioned her treatment plan and was happy when she didn't hesitate when I said do anything you can. Being a nurse and long time dog owner I generally question some tx plans but never did I question Dr Mossines plan or the options she gave me. She was always completely honest about potential prognosis but always had Doyle quality of life on top of priorities.
IndyVet Neurology Team was and is worth the 4hr one way trip. I would have driven further to get the care we received with them. I pray I never need Neurology again but if I do I will never go anywhere but IndyVet to Dr Mossine.

It is very hard to decide that a pet needs emergency medical care, and it is a relief when the pet receives exactly the medical care that it needs. It would be very easy to take advantage of my anxiety surrounding my pets' health and suggest all kinds of outlandish treatments, and I don't believe that happened.

Excellent Emergency hospital with hygienic rooms and reasonable prices for their services for your fur baby. I took my Yorkie, River here, late on a Sunday, after he ate a sharp beef rib bone and was acting strangely afterwards. I was so worried it had punctured something internally. They calmed me and were incredibly gentle with River. They showed me on the X-rays that the bone was in small pieces and should exit fine. The visit was only $200, fair for everything they did for him & worth my peace of mind knowing he wasn't going to die. They even followed up the next day to see how River was. He's doing great now!! Will definitely use them again, if have too, but hopefully won't have to!
Hannah Sanders
The staff was extremely friendly and acted quick. The place was very clean and professional. I greatly appreciated the kindness and general willing to help attitude of the staff especially given it was very late on a holiday.
Danielle Fox
Friendly, caring, and trustworthy with any animal!! Proud to have a vet hospital like this around!! The timelyness it took to make sure my girl was ok!
jartisirl Artis
By the time we got our cat there and in she had passed but the staff was very considerate. They let us sit with her before starting our long drive home.
AnnaLisa Allegretti
We were coming into Indianapolis for a wedding and one of my dogs had some respiratory symptoms that were getting worse, so after a 10 hour drive, we stopped here and couldn't have been happier with the entire experience. Everyone was friendly and helpful, we were seen very quickly and the prices were extremely reasonable. For a situation that could have been stressful and exhausting (stopping at an emergency vet after a long drive), this was downright pleasant. I'm grateful to everyone here for being so wonderful and while I hope we never find ourselves in need of their services again, if I am ever in Indy with a sick dog, I know where I'm going!
kate marbach
Great staff! You took care of my baby , checked on us while we waited and multiple times. Everything was handled in a timely manner.
julie meredith
We were treated with respectful concern. We were seen quickly. Care was thorough. Dr. Santiago was compassionate and very relatable. Mandy handled the business end of things efficiently and with an upbeat attitude. Wish this was a place for routine care - because they really care!
Amanda S
I took my dog in today and he ended up needing to he put down. Doctor Summers was such a wonderful vet to have during thus time. She explained his condition wonderfully and gave me an hour to come to a decision. After we were moved to a big room where we could hold and love our best friend one last time. Ans when it was time for him to go she was so gentle and told him he was loved. Let us sit with us for as long as we needed. And was so patient and understanding. She brought light into one of the worst experiences ive ever faced and I'm so grateful for her kindness. She truly loves animals. When it was time to remove his body she picked him up and carried him with the same care you would take had he been alive. I definitely will go back if any of my cats need emergency care. The whole staff is friendly and kind. Impeccable bed side manner.
Shiloh Stewart
The front desk is lovely. I unfortunately ended up having to put my pup down, and the front desk young woman (i unfortunately forget her name) was so lovely. She was kind and patient. She asked to give me hug. The whole staff was so kind. The doctor seemed like she new exactly what she was taking about and understood our decision. If/When I have another pet I will make sure to bring it over there. Very lovely and knowledgeable staff. Will recommend to other family members and friends.
Zac Moore
We had a wonderful experience. The vet and technicians were willing and happy to work with my very anxious dog. They went above and beyond to provide him with the care he needed and coached me through the process as well. They were very patient, caring, understanding, and thorough. The attentiveness of the staff was exceptional.
Olivia Thomas
The staff was so helpful and kind. They really helped to ease my worries about my cat and answered all of my questions throughout the entire process. They worked diligently to keep my cat calm and comfortable and did not push or agitate him. They took us in quickly and made sure we felt important and cared about. I've never had such a good vet experience. I especially appreciated how kind and informed all of the staff members were.
Gillian Thiebe
We went in with a less critical case and felt incredibly well taken care of. From our check-in to our check-out there was ample communication and constant care from everyone. I really appreciate how well everyone was doing their job and how kind they were on top of it. Our Dr. was the only one there and she did an amazing job prioritizing the needs of so many. Thank you!
Stephanie Winkleman
I didn’t have to wait at all to go back in a room and have my dog seen in the emergency department. They were very thorough and explained what was going on. Ultimately thought I was going to be spending quiet a bit as she had to be sedated to get everything taken care of. However the price was unbeatable. Very reasonable, especially for the type of care we received. I’m so glad I chose to go here, and if I ever have another emergency situation, we will definitely go back. The team was extremely kind and helpful.
Yaroslav
Great Service at a very affordable price! They helped us through a very tough time in the last months of our dog's life. Fluffy had Lymphoma and we opted out for their hospice care with Dr. Wood. Always there when we call them or need to come in for a check up or email with a concern or needed extra training on how to administer medication and all kept at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend this place, thank you so much!
Abby Miller
Very sweet front desk ladies the night I went in. Super accommodating, had to rush out as soon as my ferret was stable due to my boyfriend having an allergic reaction and they found us some allergy medicine to hold us off until we got home to his medicine. The vet helped my ferret to be stabilized after a series of seizures, even though they technically don't treat ferrets. Worked with me on costs due to the fact that our pet didn't quite receive a typical exam due to not being the typical patient
Dollie Ross (DivaDoll61)
My Service Animal, 12 year old female Shih Tzu (MeiLin) was in distress with breathing and choking. I Googled ER Veterinarian Hospitals and found IndyVet by accident (I was forwarded from another number.) Gave symptoms over phone and was told to get there ASAP. Arrived and within minutes of checking in took her into Exam Room. After X-ray, tests, informed of congestive heart failure and further extensive treatment was risky but not treating was certain death. I erred on the side of caution wanting her to be as comfortable as possible. For the next 3-4 hours waited for her to stabilize and then I could see her and go home. Overnight she did well and began weaning off Oxygen to breathe on her own! The staff continued to call with updates and she was discharged 48 hours later to me.
My experience was traumatic, as I am also a heart patient, so I understood the severity of the situation. My heartfelt thanks go to the entire staff at IndyVet for their transparency with care and cost as well as compassionate, comforting, and considerate behavior to a distressed pet parent! Since it’s been a week, a few calls to follow up care and return visit has been made to keep me informed and again calmer. Thanks so much for such a beacon of hope in an otherwise distressing situation.
Jay Moan
Amazing people with a heart. We have been using IndyVet for years related to after hours pet emergencies and they have always have been flawless in their support without adding pressure during tough situations. Recently our new puppy potentially had bloat but it ended up being drinking too much water. The Dr that talked to us was very gracious even though it was a false alarm on our part. Thanks again for serving our town.
Angie Bough
We had a serious emergency on Sunday morning. Our dear puppy ingested a mouse poison tablet. I called and was instructed to come in quickly. They rushed our pet back as soon as we arrived and started his care. Hopefully we wont need you again but if we do we will be back. Thank you for taking great care of our baby boy.
Stephanie McLaughlin
Very friendly staff and we felt that Loki was well taken care of when he was taken to the back. Stephanie (floater vet tech) was amazing - very informative and super friendly. We truly appreciated how friendly everyone was - from the beginning of the appointment to the end. Especially Stephanie - she made us feel very comfortable and spent time talking to us. Dr. Hillman took time explaining our options and answering all of our questions. Everyone was truly great.
Jessica Capps
This place is a fantastic resource for new comers to the area. My cat had an abscess come up on her foot really quickly and having moved here less than a year ago we had not established a local vet yet for her and our appointment wait was going to be 3 weeks out. My cat's foot was swollen and least twice the size as normal witching 3 days so I knew waiting 3 weeks wasn't going to work. I called and was able to get in same day, or any time because they are 24-hours. While the wait was long (5 hours) the exam room was comfortable and I was able to set up my laptop and work remotely. We were able to get the abscess lanced and drained quickly once she was taken back. I expected the higher cost as it was an emergency clinic - I mean, it is an ER for pets. They were so busy, even having to refer walk-INS to other clinics, and if more critically injured pets took precedence and made my wait longer I completely understand! I'm just grateful they were available to us. Thank you! The front staff was exceptionally helpful, patient, and nice. The vet was nice too.
I would give 5 stars but when estimated wait times are 8-10 hours (and you have to be there the whole time) it might be time to hire some more vets. :)
Caleb Drake
We appreciated the entire staff's professionalism, honesty about our pet's situation, compassion for his dignity, & genuine kindness.
Being a teaching hospital, you not only have access to board-certified surgeons; by choosing IndyVet, you help train the next generation of animal health care professionals.
ER wait times after the initial assessment can be a bit long at night for minor emergencies since patients in critical condition need attention before those in a stable state. Additionally, the evening staff is likely sparser than the day shift, so patient per staff member ratio can be fairly high.
CONCLUSION: Holistically a good experience, and we will gladly choose IndyVet for future ER visits
The Crafty Trucker
We can’t even begin to explain how much Indyvet went above and beyond to help us. We were just passing through Indy when one of our fur kids needed help. You guys were absolutely amazing help in our hard time. We love what you do so very much. Thank you for the lovely card.
Sherry Morton
DVM Alyssa Like was so knowledgeable and thorough, answered many questions that we had . Our poor fur baby has allergies so bad he chewed on his skin until it would bleed. They prescribed enough allergy medicine to last until his appointment with our vet on November 3rd. The office staff were wonderful and very efficient. Indy Vet is somewhere you should go in case of an emergency for sure !!!!!!! I want to thank all of you again !!!!!!!
Zuzanna Koziatek
I am very satisfied with the level of care that my puppy was provided. At IndyVet, I finally got in-depth answers to the many questions surrounding her health. you wanted to get to the bottom of my puppy's issues just as much as we did; we didn't just walk in and out confused, we walked out with answers based on thorough testing and a plan
Ashley Dillehay
Took my sweet cat, Millie, there for a hurt and infected paw and from start to finish, it was an great experience. I’m a new cat mom and have never had to take an animal to a vet ER before, but everyone there was so kind, patient, and communicative. They were also very up front with pricing and it actually ended up being less expensive than I expected! 10/10 would recommend 😊
Nikita Roberts
I have gone to this place twice both times the staff was amazing!!! Yes there is long wait times if your pet isn’t critical but that is because they take the critical patients and work on them first and yes it is expensive but they make sure you are informed on the costs there is no pop up fee that you weren’t expecting. The staff really does love animals all of them do!!! And they will love every animal that comes in!! I recommend this place to everyone that has a pet I tell them if you ever have an emergency with your pet go there they will take care of you and your pet!!
Kelsey Roe
Excellent care. Staff was very kind and helpful. They took the time to fully explain why each test was performed and how the result shaped the diagnosis. Wait time was long (we were warned up front), but our dog was not in immediate danger(suspected ccl tear). They provided us with privacy and water for our pet while we waited so he could calm down while we waited.
Martha Fair
We had to take our dog for emergency after hour care for grape poisoning. We highly recommend IndyVet. The care and concern and the treatment greatly exceeded our highest expectations. This is a go to facility for emergency pet needs. Everyone on the staff amazed us with personal service and concern and follow-up.
emily hutchinson
We had to rush our puppy in when we found him lethargic and unable to walk . The staff was reassuring and took him back immediately. They explained every detail to us and didn’t perform any testing without going over the cost. There were not any surprise bills.. he had to spend the night and we were able to give him goodbye logins. I did have to call and get an update on Saturday since our pet spent the night, but it was a Saturday. The vet called me once she had an update and he was able to be released. The staff was outstanding.. A bit pricey… yes… but worth saving our family member… yes. Just like taking your child to the emergency room. Highly recommend
Phyllis Trosper
This group does an amazing job. Incredibly compassionate and very good at explaining options. Amanda is an outstanding gem who has taught me a great deal on my cats home care. We truly appreciated her! I most appreciate that they saved Ginos life 💙 …
Adam Taylor
We have had to come to Indy Vet for both our dogs within the last year. Coming to Indy Vet means our companions are in serious need of care. The level of competence, compassion, and professionalism we have received is unparalleled. The personal touch is something we greatly appreciate. We know how busy you are, and yet we never feel like a number.
Heidi Carmichael
Very kind staff. Each person handled our dog with great care and respect. He does not like to be touched, staff were cognizant of that and responded kindly and cautiously. The wait time was long, but the team were up front and clear about that and we knew coming in what to expect. They checked on us offering tea and coffee. The doctor was wonderful not performing unnecessary or tests that would be inconclusive as some vets due. We are grateful and will return if ever we have another emergency. Communication was clear and their kindness was outstanding.
Kelly Gilleran
They're very experienced and detail oriented. We never want to have to go back for an emergency again, but if we do, it will definitely be to them.
We were there prior on a visit for a different pet, and they really did well then.
Siobhan Hanna
Our sweet pug, Grace had an emergency over Labor Day weekend. I have a multitude of great things to say about IndyVet. From the check in process to the intake to the level of care, every single person who helped us did so with kindness and professionalism in spite of a very busy day.
I'd like to offer special thanks to the doctors who cared for Grace. Dr. Pisani, Dr. Davidson and Dr. Robertson...we thank you. Your expertise, phone calls and clear instructions have made all the difference. Another special thanks to GG who was a real friend to Grace. Finally, to all the people who patted her on the head, said something soothing, spread out her blanket from home...you are so deeply appreciated.
Grace is home now, resting with some of her best friends. We are in your debt.
Shaunda Mills
They were very nice and clean place. I am very happy with the services I have received. The time to console me in my time of need. They are very comfortable people. They took the time to console me when my puppy was in critical state. They also very compassionate place
Kylee Daniele
The emergency vet is no one's favorite place to be. In our experience, we drove our five-month-old puppy from Bloomington to IndyVet for seizure-like activity. Everyone on staff that evening was so gracious, understanding, and knowledgeable.
Although we did not end up diagnosing a reason for our puppy's neurological symptoms, we felt informed and educated every step of the way.
As a self-diagnosed helicopter mom, I had zero hesitancy in leaving my beloved in their care overnight for further evaluation and medication.
I cannot thank you enough for caring for our Jellybean.
Amy Mills
The team at IndyVet absolutely saved this sweet rescue. I couldn't be more thankful! They were comforting to us and Honey as she endured surgery, post op and the start of recovery. They were dependable and understanding. The team worked with Honey and her needs. I love that they went at her pace and were aware of her needs. She was a scared and confused little girl at the start of this experience. She left post op today confident and feeling much better as we sail through recovery.
andi cailles
Overall excellent care from check in to discharge. We are working with IndyVet for the 2nd time with a 2nd dog. And our experience this time so far is another, compassionate, informative, patient, personalized experience. Compassion, attention and care of dog kiddo, thorough, informative, patient, expertise, specialty veterinary medicine.
Jim Taylor
We were very pleased with the care we received for our cat Freddy. He had a serious medical emergency and we got quick and professional care. He's home doing well.
Madelaine Burford
The only issue I ran into was getting my cat back after I was checked out. They sent me back to the room and told me it would be just a few minutes and they'd have him right out. I waited for almost an hour and a half, but I understand that emergencies happen and they were short staffed. Arnold received really good care and he seems to be doing much better.
Cory Davis
Night and day difference from what we experienced at the VCA on 96th Street! All of the staff was patient, kind, and sympathetic to what we were going through with our dog Rudy and his neurological issues. IndyVet was SO thorough in going over everything, from the results to the next steps. The VCA on 96th wouldn't even test Rudy with everything he has going on, essentially saying he seemed fine when we knew that wasn't the case. The follow up has been excellent, and much appreciated. This is such a heart wrenching thing to go through, and it makes a huge difference in how well IndyVet approaches things so thank you!
Carol Herbertz
We came to Indy Vet to see Dr. Klein in Opthamology. Staff was wonderful, especially Sarah, vet tech! Very thorough in my pet's exam.
cathy Warden
Every one is always understanding and patient. I know they are looking out for what's best for my pup. The front line staff is amazing.
Kayla Balfour
It was a scary situation, and the staff was so sweet and informative. The overall attitudes of everyone were very calming. The pricing was way better than I expected.
Joyce Perry
IndyVet physicians and staff took great care of my sweet Lilly and did everything they could to help her. I wish I could find a doctor that cared about me as much as IndyVet doctors cared about Lilly. I know they take care of a lot of pets, but they genuinely care about each one.
Rebekah Mech
I appreciated that IndyVet takes the time to do an intake with your pet before making them wait hours. It gave me more confidence that he would get what he needed and that they would know where he fell in the priority in the line.
Being taken to a private exam room for our intake was so nice. The vet tech listened to me looked at my puppy carefully and told me what the next steps were.
The staff Thursday evening were all so kind to us and checked in with updates. They were truly compassionate during a sad scary experience and that made all the difference. They acted like they really cared about what we were going through. I'm so grateful.
The professionalism of the staff and the clear communication and good facilities made me feel at ease that he was getting the quality care I hoped for.
Becky Waterman
Great staff and care, only negative is sometimes very long wait time, which is unavoidable at times. Thankful for the great care given to my puppy!! All the staff very helpful and friendly!
Ariel Allen
Very good care. The Vets take time to listen to my questions and staff obviously loves on my doggie. She got thorough workup and care. Good covid precautions. Very cost effective compared with human ER and better care and better communication. Very helpful staff. Nice vets. explains financials and differential diagnosis well. Nice staff who love my dog as much as I do
Wendy Taylor
IndyVet is great. Staff is very attentive and caring.It is so stressful and worrisome when your fur baby has an emergency. Recommend this place to all.
Crystal Lawburgh
Had a great experience! Everyone was so loving and kind. Timing was efficient. Comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend.
Tara Bontrager
Our cat Bruce fell ill on a Wednesday night. Bruce was at our local vet from Thursday to Saturday at midnight, when our local vet called and stated Bruce could either be put down or transferred elsewhere because there was nothing else they could do for him.
When Indy Vet received Bruce around 2AM on Saturday he was on his death bed. Indy Vet was able to diagnose the problem, put a treatment plan into effect, get Bruce stabilized, and we took Bruce home Monday night, within 44 hours of Indy Vet receiving him. It was a long road to recovery, but Bruce is back to acting like a healthy spire young feline. He's playing more and jumping higher than he ever did before! We are so grateful to Indy Vet for saving our baby!! We cannot thank them enough.
Ali Moore
Thank you for always answering and being super helpful during my cats problems. Blockages are a scary deal but you all are supportive and informative and that goes a long way.
Jenny Anderson
We've been to Indy Vet several times and have always had a good experience The staff including techs and doctors are very pleasant to interact with
Jon Lindley
Zooey and I were still fairly new to you guys, but I appreciated your attempts to help us in Zooey's last days. Just the simple hope that you might be able to help us was huge. Thanks to Dr. Bryce and Dr. Hillman for being there to guide me through those last attempts.
Dave Ingalls (cg49me)
Grateful to have a place like IndyVet within reach - might have lost my pet otherwise. ALL staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Techs were extremely caring and compassionate to my pet. Techs and doctors always asked if I had any questions, and took the time to thoroughly answer them.
Only gripe (minor) is that my carrier and blankets were lost.
What I appreciated most was the time taken by everyone to completely explain things to me and thoroughly answer all of my questions; not feeling rushed.
Nicol S
They go above and beyond during the visit. Very light and airy in here not anxeity inducing all the ladies are exceptional at the front desk. We are currently waiting on our delta
Kallie Peterman
We were more than amazed with our visit at Indy Vet. We came in very stressed and worried about our sweet dog Bailey. Every single staff member we interacted with (at least 7 between office staff, vet techs, and vet) were incredibly patient, friendly, informative, reassuring, and incredibly helpful. They were able to make a very scary situation for us comfortable and peaceful. This visit was more incredibly affordable for everything that we needed and were given, which was an additional burden lifted from our shoulders upon being discharged.
Shannon Linker
We have taken our small dog here twice, both times she was in critical danger. Both times the staff quickly addressed the problem, treated the dog with such care and respect. The Vet was thoughtful and thorough and it was very much appreciated. This is our go-to for any pet emergency...especially after hours!
Lilly Hite
Everyone was so nice and knowledgeable. It has to be a stressful/overwhelming job at times, but the staff are really great--always have such a great attitude that really helps during emergencies!
Kylie McKibben
The girls that worked in the back with our puppy were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately one of the girls that worked at the front desk was somewhat rude and snappy. We also ended waiting around 6 hours just to have an X-ray taken. I most appreciated the technicians that worked in the back with our puppy overnight and cared for him.
Kara Woodlee
We had a good visit with Dr. Hillman and appreciate her detailed review of our dog's situation and treatment options. She was very kind and understanding, and she was helpful in answering our many questions. The nurse and doctor did not make us feel rushed and it seemed like they were really listening to our questions and concerns.
Todd & Ethan Simmonds
My dog was suddenly very ill in the late evening and I took him there and we were immediately put into a room in in a short while someone came and took down all of the information. I was kept informed of everything happening and fees were discussed upfront enabling me to make decisions regarding treatment and cost. The staff was very knowledgeable and kind. The veterinarian was excellent.
Barbara Means
The facility was easy to find. Clean and comfortable interior. The staff and Dr Roman were awesome. Everyone took time to explain everything and kept me informed as to my cat’s progress and treatment. I felt like I was part of my baby’s care and aftercare team. Super reasonable pricing for an emergency pet hospital.
Angela Orr
I love bringing my dog here when I have issues. My dog presented with a bleeding tumor in his mouth and the whole team was kind and caring and shows so much love for boy. It took a few hours for him to get seen by the dogtor (understandably) but every half hour or so one of the girls from the desk would come and check on us and see if we needed anything. This is a great place!
Sherri W
Our 15 year old dog Sandy, was not doing very good & our regular vet was already gone for the day. So we took her to IndyVet to be seen. We talked with the doctor & came to the conclusion that it was best to go ahead with having her put to sleep as we didn't want her to suffer. The doctor & staff were very compassionate & caring to both us & our dog during a very hard time. They allowed us to spend as much time as we needed to say goodbye, & my sweet baby passed away so peacefully.
Sydney Sims
IndyPet offered such a great experience. I had to come in at midnight knowing I would spend all night there. The staff was so nice and helpful all the way through. I was nervous about my cats health, but they listened to everything I had to say. They even had a tv in the emergency room to keep me awake. I did spend 4 hours there, but that is what is expected at a 24 hour emergency vet. I will definitely come back for another emergency.
H B-C
Great staff. 13 hours from time I walked in until I walked out.....way too long (was told 4 hour wait when I arrived). Very helpful CSR staff, especially Catherine.
Mark Kunoff
This is why you call IndyVet... Our sweet boy Huey played with some Stargazer lilies we received over the Holiday. I've been a cat owner for many years and unfortunately it escaped my memory how poisonous these plants are to cats. Lillies are in fact *deadly* to cats, even the pollen - and often you wont realize what has happened until the symptoms are evident. We noticed the yellow stains of the pollen on his face and suddenly realized we had a very serious emergency. First - you should know this is a very serious toxin and you can't take the attitude of "wait and see" - literally every hour counts. It was of course a Sunday, and in the midst of the Corona Virus pandemic. Our local emergency clinic was closed because of the virus and they referred us to IndyVet who are open 24/7 365 days a year. I live an hour away in Bloomington, and rushed him in and they triaged him immediately. The staff was so caring and professional, and the veterinarians were totally professional and so supportive. Most of all, IndyVet saved our boy and we have him at home again. Thank god for all the great staff and doctors at IndyVet! Without them we could have lost our sweet buddy.
Brittney Woods
They have amazing specialists here. Dr. Gillespie has offered immense comfort and compassion for my FelV/FIV+ cat, and Dr. Leslie Moore was a gaurdian angel for my precious kitten with complex congenital defects...we both felt so comforted in Dr. Moore's care! I couldn't begin to thank them enough. For the 4 times I've had to use emergency services, I've been less satisfied and would recommend using only in serious emergencies and when regular vets are unavailable. By nature of the ER, they cannot easily provide the comprehensive care and whole-patient perspective as one who is already familiar with your pet. The high prices are difficult, but I'd pay whatever I can afford for my priceless furbabies.
Haley Hohl
Indyvet has always taken excellent care of our cat. Despite many health issues over the last couple of years, we have never encountered a vet who wasn't professional and kind. Despite the ER being VERY busy during our most recent visit, the vet took her time with us and we never felt rushed or pressured to make any decisions. We felt like we were the vet's only patient and that their focus was fully on us.
Jacqueline Reed
We were very pleased with Dr. K's attention to detail and reading through our dog's previous medical history.
Bobbie Ann
My angle was seen immediately on arrival. They even had notes from the call I made telling them I was on my way. They took my little girl and held her with such love and care. They took her back and immediately placed us in a room. The vet came in to speak to us and explained everything so clearly. He had so much compassion in his voice and you could tell he genuinely cared. The techs we seen and the front staff were just as amazing. I couldn't have asked to be surrounded by more caring and loving people at such a difficult time. Our little one did not make it through the night, but I have no doubt in my heart that she was well taken care of and treated with the same love and affection she had at home. To all the staff, the tech and the vet that worked the evening of 9/11 and early hours of 9/12 thank you for taking such amazing care of my baby girl. Thank you for giving me time to say goodbye, thank you for making sure we were all okay. Thank you all for your kindness on one of the hardest days we've had. It can't be an easy job that you have. You have so many patients to care for. At the time we were there you made me feel like we were the only ones and that Tia was your priority. I hope you always remember how important you all are and how much you've helped us in our time of loss.
Kylie Wainman
Indy Vet's Internal Medicine team did an amazing job treating our Great Danes autoimmune disorder. They saved his life and did it with kindness and compassion both towards him and us allowing us to call or visit at any time. Highly recommend!!! We most appreciated the communication we received throughout his care and the gentleness they showed towards him. He did not even seem to mind having to stay there for 3 days.
Miss H
Exceptional staff and customer service! They took fantastic care of our fur baby Cody. They were prompt, knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and concerns. We can’t thank them enough! He stayed in your care for three days and two nights. Always called with updates & recommendations to what the next steps should be for continued care for him.
You’ve earned our trust and will highly recommend your hospital to other fur baby families. THANKYOU!!!
Susanne Rhine
I love IndyVet! We decided to take Moon there after a wonderful experience with our other dog, Oliver. Oliver had an ER visit, surgery and physical therapy at IndyVet and we had nothing short of a wonderful experience! From the receptionist to the vets and surgeons, everyone cared for and even loved on both of my dogs while there. Fantastic people and a fantastic place! How well my dogs were treated!
Leslie Seadorf
They were amazing. Ella was the patient and they were great with her and she is doing amazing. We appreciate the loving care. Also a price that was affordable. Made us feel confident in leaving our dog there. They also made sure we were okay in letting us go home and sleep after not sleeping at all that night. Definitely recommend to anyone.
Abigail Collins
I think the service was as quick as possible for the amount of staff available late at night and every staff person was attentive to our needs. Our Dr was very warm and understanding of the Healthcare decisions that needed to be made as well as the financial aspect to being able to provide that care. She provides every detail of what our options were in a way that is easily understandable.
Kayla Gill
Very long wait times, understandable considering they are a 24/7 vet hospital. They took my dog in immediately after being attacked and provided excellent care. I could not continue to bring him in for after-care though due to the unexpected wait times and no appointments. The front office staff was very friendly. One name I remember, Andrea, helped me a few times and provided great service. The friendliness of the staff was great and they took care of my pet but would only bring my dog back if it were an emergency.

If you are ever in circumstances where you have to take your fur baby to an emergency vet don't look anywhere else. All the staff was fantastic, empathetic and always gave updates when I called in. Dr. Summers was our primary vet and she made the entire experience the best situation possible. She provided clear explanations, showed us what was going on with our baby and always followed up when she said she would.
Jamiee Paulson
I have been here a few times already & they have saved 2 of my dogs! When I do come here for an emergency I feel a big relief knowing my pet are in great hands here! I appreciate the care my dog had there! I would highly recommend this animal hospital for any pet emergency!

My 13 week old puppy ate a piece of plastic and it got stuck as she was passing it. We went to the clinic and they got us quickly into a room and seen. Didn’t even take them 10 minutes to remove the piece and bring her back to the room. Everyone was very nice and my puppy is good to go! We weren’t even there for an hour and I was expecting to be there for a couple
Jackie Fox
This place was really good with my baby! They was clean and treated him just like he was a human! They was really patient with my dog and let him get to know them before just running off with him. Thank you Indyvet. The fact that they care enough about animals to know that we need one open all the time not just Monday through Friday 8am to 4pm! Emergency happen everyday at any time!

This was our first trip to Indy Vet. Dr. Like and the whole team were amazing. We brought in an injured stray and they were so loving to her. They explained everything in detail and were super understanding!

We had to bring our dog in recently - late at night and we had an hour drive from south of Indy but we felt it couldn't wait. The receptionists on staff were incredibly kind. The techs were thorough and patient. Dr. Kuechle saw our dog and I was very, very pleased for how attentive and detail-oriented he was, especially given the late hour. We did have to wait for a couple of hours for our dog to be seen, and ended up being there for 5 hours total, but considering it was the middle of the night at an emergency department, I figure that is to be expected. And yes, the cost was nothing to sneeze at, but again for emergency care, I am actually surprised that we didn't pay more. I have no complaints about our experience.
Deanna Hawkins
Friendly, professional, thorough, and very good at explaining the complex health issues of my dog. Provided neutral but helpful treatment options for both home and further diagnostic procedures. Kind and gave our visit plenty of time for explaining and questions!
no running in my lobby
Dr. Like took amazing care of my cat when she needed it most. All of the staff at IndyVet were highly professional and were extremely caring and compassionate when talking with me. Highly recommend IndyVet for anyone on the area who is having a pet emergency.
Iliea Anglin
Can I just say how amazing this staff is! They are so caring so nice and they explain everything so you can understand. And they work with you on what you can afford. They let you know what your options are based on your budget. You will spend some time here depending on your fur babies issues.... but I would definitely recommend this place!! Thank you to the Dr and the rest of the staff!!!
Liz Stratton
Indy Vet was there for us in our time of need! The prices are honestly not that bad for being an Animal Hospital! Unfortunately I didn't have $1,600 for my little guy to be admitted! They did however send us home when we was ready an felt confident we could care for our guy! The receptionist! She was on 18 hrs an had a few more to go! She was very caring! I didn't appreciate the tech that brought my pup out! She didn't explain anything! Just handed me the paper work an said here are the instructions! Dyezal had a fluid pack under his skin! I had never seen one before! She very rudely said what it was, handed the paper work an walked away!
Qi Shayue
Very nice place. My cat had explosive diarrhea and I drove from Bloomington to get the emergency visit. They got a great system to figure things out and everyone there was super nice and sweet. They said the wait time would be 4-5 hours, which is actually the diagnosing and treating time :) Got home with meds, some cans and great advise! My cat is doing better just after 12 hours! Thank you all!
Bryce Chambers
About 8 months ago I brought my dog Tod into see Dr. Woods. From day one the front office staff, Dr. Woods and Erica (vet tech) have been absolutely amazing. Tod was diagnosed with lymphoma and honestly thought I was going to have to put him down. Dr. Woods carefully lined up a treatment plan and answered/reassured all the questions I had for this difficult journey. We were able to start treatment immediately.
They saved Tod's life and returned his quality of life to right back to normal. I had an appointment every Tuesday for about 7 months and the consistency with treatment and how they took care of Tod was incredible. They truly treated Tod and I like we were part of their family and you could really tell just how much they really cared about their line of work. Dr. Woods is one of the best veterinary oncologists in the country and I would trust her with any animal.
A lot of times emergency vet hospitals have a heavy case load and are slammed. I never felt rushed or pushed to make any decision I wasn't comfortable with. I highly recommend this office. Being a dentist I completely understand the type of emotions that health professionals can deal with on a daily basis. Thank you guys and I truly can't say just how much I appreciate everything!!
Katrina Tuffley
The doctors (actually, all of the staff) were friendly, caring, attentive and gentle when dealing with our difficult situation. I am thankful for the care you gave to our cat, Indie and while the circumstances surrounding our visits were certainly less than ideal and the outcome not what we had hoped, I would still consider it overall a good experience. Thank you for making it possible for us to explore all options to see if there was something we could do to save our girl.
I appreciate how much care and kindness you showed towards Indie. I always felt like she was getting a lot of love and attention which made me feel a little more comfortable leaving her with your team.
Bridgette Garamella
They were so wonderful here. Everything from checking in, the techs, the doctor, to checking out. Very kind, understanding people working here. If you want your animals in good hands I would bring them here. Thank you Indy Vet for being so kind to us on a stressful night.
Kelly&Kristin Ferguson
Very good, I would not hesitate to bring my dog again if it is needed. How organized the appointment was and efficient on working us up that day. Veterinary Technician was very clear on how the appointment was going to go. With myself being a Veterinary Technologist, they really did a great job with the whole appointment and I was on the same page with the doctor. He was very kind and listened to the history very well. He addressed all my questions and communicated how we should proceed from here with my dogs care.
Zoie Sexton
While in the waiting room we had to witness a very difficult client give one of the receptionists a very tough time. The receptionist handled it so well despite the client being relentless. I just felt as if she really deserved props and her professionalism should be noted. I wish I would've gotten her name so she could get proper recognition. The service and "bedside manner" was so great. They were helpful with us having been a little unsure of the dog's info as we were pet sitting. Dr. K was thorough with us and was honest yet reassuring. The dog's condition was considered emergency and they took her immediately for care, which was so appreciated.
donovan johnson
My puppy swallowed a nice size bully stick bone and it obstructed her airway. I was turn away from 4 other emergency animal hospitals until I came to IndyVet. They had a 10 hour wait but still immediately took my pup in when we arrived and started to help her. The staff was all extremely friendly and caring. I was having a breakdown by the time I got there after dealing with being turned away at other hospitals. I am extremely grateful for their a assistance and the care that they provided. I recommended them on all of my social media and will recommend them to anyone that requests info about 24 hour emergency animal hospitals! The prompt service in an emergency situation
Joshua Barnd
I have needed an emergency vet a few times in the last 2 years and Indy Vet has always been my favorite place. I can always trust them to treat my fur babies with the best care. Full service emergency care and professional courtesy.
Deb Dowell
Best ever! I have had 4 cats that were blood donors, and they are the most loveable cats. Plus excellent emergency care for my Golden Retriever puppy. 24/7 hours, full service, professionalism.
Patrick Bright
It's great they are open 24 hrs. Lot's of caring & professional staff. Very expensive... but as they saying goes, 'You get what you pay for.'
Lohit Myneedu
It was a considerable wait time but once seen, Dr.Matusiak was able to diagnose my dog(odin) quickly, was friendly and set up a care plan that made sense and worked. The Vet Techs are really nice to the pets, but in general, the communication of care plan, timeline and response time could be better. Overall, a good experience!
sea cradev
Took really good care of my dog. Was given thorough instructions and medications to help my dog heal. They've patched up my dogs a few times over the last 16 years and me and my dogs are always satisfied. Facility has always been clean and the staff friendly. The personal care they have given my dogs can't be beat. To the people who have left one star reviews because of price, get over it, it's an emergency vet clinic, pets can be as expensive as kids and if you complain about what it costs to save your pet, then maybe you shouldn't have one.
Russ Farmer
Our dog Sammi was well taken care of in a very stressful time. We believe that the entire staff from admittance to discharge were caring, professional and thorough. The time given to explain the facts and the options given for care were outstanding.
Damien TerraFina
Don’t even walk in the front door if you don’t have $1,200 already in your pocket. That being said, I luckily did. The staff here is so friendly and kind. They immediately took my baby back and within half an hour were doing surgery to save her. They even cater to your pets emotionally by finding out their temperament, what triggers they may have, what gives them anxiety, etc. This place saved my baby and that is worth every penny.
Is this a good place to go? Absolutely! Is this a good place to go if your pet is not in a life or death situation? Mmmm it might be better, financially, to go to your own vet.
Courtney Williams
The staff are extremely nice and the doctors are very informative every step of the way. The pricing is decent. Extremely clean. Professional. I’m so glad we made the choice to take our cat in. With a 5 hour wait, it was a true emergency and they immediately took his back for a thorough diagnosis. I highly recommend this place. Thank you to all the staff involved today. We are forever grateful.
Thomas Stevens
I absolutely love this hospital! It's beautiful and compassionate. The doctors and staff are some of the finest in veterinary medicine and they really take the time with clients and more importantly our furry families. I was visiting with Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice and got a tour.. I was thrilled!
Benjamin Weber
I was very impressed with how our dog was taken care of here. The facility was very clean and everybody was very helpful and caring.
Bob Stieneker
Awesome treatment for our sweet Maggie. Felt like they all cared. Quality of care
Stephanie L
Amazing People the way they were so kind and caring with our dog and us after finding out he had advanced bone cancer and only weeks to live. It was the most devastating news and broke our hearts but so grateful that we still have some time with him to shower him with so much love and tenderness and give him his favorite human foods.
Curtis Wainman
This staff did everything they could for our dog. For weeks over multiple visits and through many obstacles the provided great care and excellent service that allowed us to trust them with our dogs health. Yes there is a wait for emergencies, we’ve been in snd out of this place at all times of the day and I’ve never seen it empty, they are doing all they can to accommodate and help the pets that come in their doors. They truly care about animals and the vets are so knowledge they gave our medically complicated dog the best chance at survival. Unfortunately he didn’t make it but we know he was cared for night and day but someone who loves animals. I hope I don’t have to bring another pet in for an emergency but I also find comfort in knowing this place will treat any dog I bring in with the same love and I would. Thank you everyone at IndyVet
ValPal
The staff was very friendly and helpful. I didn't have to see the vet because the tech knew exactly what was wrong with my dog. She was a huge help and gave me some great advice on what to do for after care. How kind and helpful the staff was. They are a great team at IndyVet!
Gina Wilson
The waiting was the hardest part to be seen by the vet. The love and gentleness with my furry baby meant a lot to my canine and self.
Karen Goodman
I seriously had the best visit I could have asked for that day. I was surprised at how all staff went out of their way to take care of me as well as my dog. It was a really stressful day, and I had to travel almost 2 hours to get there in order to have my dog seen by a vet the same day that I noticed he had swollen eyes. When I got there they said that it was a 4-6 hour wait. My heart sunk because I was in pain and I knew that if it took that long I wasn't sure where I would go in the meantime with my puppy. Driving home wouldn't have been an option, and I thought I'd have to keep my puppy entertained while staying in the car since he's not fully vaccinated. Going to a dog park would have been a risk to his health. Thank you, IndyVet, for giving us a comfortable room that he could play in and where I could leave him while I grabbed water and coffee during our stay. All staff were the friendliest people, and they put me at ease. In the end, I only waited about 2.5 hours for the vet to see my puppy! We were out of there in under 3.5 hours! I was so happy and got home much sooner than expected! I have raved about IndyVet multiple times on social media and by word of mouth because it was a bad circumstance that was turned into a wonderful experience. I now have a perfectly healthy puppy and very good memories through that one visit! Again, thank you so much! The staff made me feel like I was at home! They were so kind and comforting. They went out of their way to be hospitable and professional! This is the best place I could have been that day.
Karina Collins
Everyone was incredibly helpful, empathetic, and knowledgeable. The front desk staff, the vet techs, and the doctor were very patient and kind as we navigated care for my dog. I had a lot of questions and they took the time to answer them as best as they could and as quickly as they could. It was very reassuring how much everyone involved genuinely seemed to care about helping my dog get better, and feel comfortable during the process.
Miranda Evans
We love this place. In an emergency situation everyone understands and is patient and kind to us. Dr. Casares was fantastic with our dog and listened so well to my concerns. Our vet tech Audra was great as well & very gentle with our pup. The front desk lady was so great & went above and beyond to be sure we had what we needed. The kindness & understanding of everyone on our case is just amazing.
Ben Westrick
I was referred here by my local vet about my kitty Olivia. The staff and vets were extremely kind, thorough and knowledgeable about everything going on with my sweet Olivia when she became sick. When I had to put her down, Dr Z was very caring in helping me deal with everything and in caring for her in her last days. They gave me guidance and support every step of the way and I appreciate the kindness. The only bad thing was the long wait time when we first arrived, but that is expected at an animal hospital when lots of people are needing to be seen. Overall, a good experience with compassionate staff who care about your pets.
Jennifer Roberts
Professional staff, clean facility, .. issue our dog was hit by a car taken there after our local vet in terre haute called and they said bring him in. You guys didn't even have any surgeons on call, I felt he was referred to another hospital to soon as they didn't feel he needed surgery and he was stable when your vet said he was not stable and gave us decisions to put our 2 year old baby down or transfer 25 min away for emergency surgery. So we had to pay almost $4,000 for pain meds and observation and sent to another vet hospital where they did the same thing and charged us double !!!! Such a roller coaster of emotions and 2 completely different opinions in a matter of 25 minutes and almost $10,000 later that we don't have. Appreciated the concern for Mack and love her got shown but not having a surgeon on call in a big hospital..ridiculous.... having to pay same cost for same treatment at another hospital also ridiculous ... obviously and thankfully our baby just needed some time and rest for his internal issues .. ty Mack's family
Kristy Williams
Staff is always very sweet to my pets! The techs and Vets always explain things thoroughly and make sure my questions are answered and I feel comfortable with their care. They make my pet feel comfortable
T F
Everyone was great. Dr. Gillespie, Dr. Thompson and Dr. Fischer were kind and walked me through each step of the process. The reception team, techs, nurses etc. were awesome and showed my Gary great care and loved on him when I could not be around. I appreciated being walked through all the possibilities and options and given the time to ask questions. The love shown to Gary was so encouraging to me.
Kelly Scholl
All of the medical staff were amazing and caring and patient. They answered all of my questions and listened to all of my concerns. When I asked for recommendations on what to do, they were were able to talk me through the care options. And when I was able to go pick up my buddy, they again answered all of my questions, repeated when I needed it, and spent as much time as I needed with me.
The only negative was the staff that helped with administrative things. They were kind, but also didn't help with the speed of things. I had the actual veterinarian check on me twice after we decided to admit my buddy and said she would remind the front desk to come do my paperwork. How in the world does the one very busy vet have time to check on us but the seven support staff take over an hour to do intake paperwork that honestly only took us 5 minutes to complete once they finally came in?
Everyone has bad days, and for me it didn't matter if it took us 8 hours (which is what it took this time) or 2 hours... the care he received and the every single medical staff serving my buddy were incredible and caring. I 5000% would go back there again, without hesitation!
Linda Cornelius
I would recommend IndyVet to anyone with a pet emergency. They were kind & compassionate throughout our whole crisis. From the moment we stepped in the door our pet was a priority.
Brie McKnight
They did a fantastic job with my three legged baby. Everyone was so kind. They all acted quickly with not only us but every other client in the lobby. Services were very well defined and I was given cost estimates before any procedure was done. The pricing was pretty affordable and eased my financial worries. They kept up with me during the visit to let me know how my dog was doing throughout her short anesthesia. Dr. Spivak was so patient with me and I felt that my dog was in fantastic hands. I am very appreciative of everyone who cared for us. Franki Jo is already acting more like herself and that is a gift you all have given me that I can never thank you enough for.
Kari Rigsby
The staff was very supportive of my situation. They made me feel that they cared about my dog as much as I do. The Dr called me on the phone per my visit because of Covid rules. The Dr did not make me feel pressured in having to be a quick call. She let me ask all my questions and she answered them with great patience. There was nothing she could do to change my dogs health and I live an 1 1/2 away at the end of my appointment she asked if I could keep in touch with her. She wanted to know how my dog was doing. How nice above and beyond!!!!!
Manuel Tarango
Our baby got attacked by a much larger dog. Indy Vet took him right in and the staff was so attentive, sweet and delightful. Although it broke my heart seeing my baby in his condition, it also warmed my heart seeing how they treated him as one of their own, taking care and helping my baby.
Robin Ellen Foutch
My cat, Ghost, unfortunately had to stay in the hospital for 6 days, and then we had to come back for another night later in the week. I was nervous at first to leave him somewhere for such a long period of time, so I would call to check on him during the night (like 2am because I couldn't sleep due to my worrying ways!) and although I tried to not be a burden by calling, the staff was always so kind to me and let me know how Ghost was doing, if he ate, if he was acting like himself, etc. They told me a few times they would sit with him and pet him (he is very affectionate) to hear him purring. I was so happy to know they were actively caring for him and trying their best to comfort him.
Since Ghost stayed for so long, we interacted with a few different vets who were extremely helpful and spent a long time talking with us over the phone about what options we had and explaining his disease, then how we can manage it to make him comfortable and happy.
As with any medical treatment, it was costly to keep him here for so long... but the quality of treatment, care given, and nice facilities were worth it to know my cat was getting the best medical help we could offer him. When we left with Ghost, the staff said goodbye to him (even the front desk!) and said they loved having him. < 3 The compassion of the employees is wonderful.
Livia Grimes
Attentive, caring and informative staff. Communication was helpful and clear. Appointment was well organized. Everyone was so sweet to my fur baby and focused on the best care for him. Friendly service and care. So nice to be treated with respect and kindness.
Karen Hensley
Thank you guys so much for everything you did on Friday and Saturday. I was extremely worried about my kittens Eloise and Daphne following a surgery elsewhere last Monday, and I appreciated your expertise and care. Also I love Katie B. and the young woman who checked me in (didn't catch her name). The girls are now feeling much better and I am feeling so much calmer. Would recommend IndyVet to any and everyone! I most appreciated the obvious care and concern for my pets' and my comfort and peace of mind.
arturo ramos lozano
Staff is really lovely, they are super kind, and they take care of my pet really nice, everything was very clear, the Doctor is really nice, thanks for everything, thank you.
Kirstie Queener
Everyone was very kind, prompt, and informative! Dr. Wood and Erica both ensured my husband and I were as informed as possible about our dog's cancer. I appreciated the explanations as to why certain tests and treatments were or were not recommended. It also truly seemed like everyone cared about our dog's wellbeing, which was very comforting. Thoroughness and attention to detail were two great attributes of my experience at the hospital.
H Benny
Besides the wait, the people are friendly and seem to really care. It could have been the night, the doctor seemed very rushed, but he still took his time explaining what might be going on with my dog. We had to bring him back the next night and the same doctor was there, this time, he seemed less stressed. Hopefully I don't have any other emergencies but if I do, I'd still bring my dog(s) there. The tech on Saturday night that discharged my little guy was thorough, very helpful and not rushed at all to get to the next patient; she seemed to really love each dog and added to knowing he was truly cared for in the back. I did wait a very long time for everything except getting in a room, so just bring a book, a snack and your patience, they're doing the best they can.
Cheri Kraus
Since my pup was not with me but our trainer I really appreciate how you guys kept in constant communication with me throughout Busters visit. Not at anytime did I not know what was going on. How informative the staff was and called before any procedure was done also how good they wore with Buster.
Holly Cheek
We trust Indy Vet with all our dogs. Living on a farm provides special opportunities for injuries despite how careful we are to keep the dogs safe. Indy Vet's team is caring, quick to evaluate any injury, and thorough. The veterinarians are supportive and kind. Thank you so much for the kindness your shared with Hunter.
Larry Bowmer
Two of our three Shih-Tzu had a little spat that was over quickly. No big deal. Then I saw blood coming from the eye of the oldest. Looked bad so off to IndyVet Emergency Hospital we went. Thirty minutes later we were there. Checked in less than 5 minutes we were in an exam room then Teddy was taken on to another exam room. About 30 minutes later the surgeon came to me and explained Teddy’s eye injury. He said the eye needs to be REMOVED!! They will do the surgery at 2 to 3 am. Teddy will be able to go home early afternoon tomorrow. This is a out patient surgery.
Teddy is home and doing WELL!!
If you have a pet that needs emergency medical care INDYVET EMERGENCY HOSPITAL is the place to go.
Travis Evans
We went in with an emergency late at night. They got us checked in quickly and took our dog back for care ASAP. Very friendly staff that show they actually care about your pets. Everyone was very helpful and knowledgeable. They made sure we understood what was going on throughout our visit, and answered any questions we had.
Emma Clookey
The staff was super friendly! Service was fast and the vet techs and vet helped me decide what was best for my dog's health. Although it was expensive it is an emergency vet so that is to be expected but it was well worth it. They treated my dog and I so well I will go there without a second thought if I ever have an emergency with my dog. What meant the most was how much they cared.
Iketta Ricks
IndyVet 🐕was phenomenal and the customer service was EXCEPTIONAL. The individual waiting room was equipped with a TV while we waited along with a fully stocked concierge bar with water, coffee, and hot chocolate. I was very comfortable during a stressful situation. They took great care of our fur baby!
Highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Steve Ninesling
I don't even know where to start. Absolutely WONDERFUL experience- even though the reason for the visit was tough. My Cane Corso displayed signs/symptoms of an intestinal blockage (he's had surgery in the past for this) The reception staff were wonderful and got us into a room as quickly as possible (CC are a very protective breed and he will "activate" on other dogs or shady people). Technicians were wonderful, but many props to Dr. Jones. Just wonderful communication skills. Very clear and direct, yet charming. It was an extremely busy night for them. It's something you all NEED to remember as clients. This is an ER. They triage well. I was there from 3:20 pm until 11:50 pm. There were more urgent "patients" than my dog. Trust the staff here...they know what they're doing. I appreciate the free coffee- sent from heaven above- but most of all, I appreciate that the staff here were just as concerned for Max as I was. Clients...remember to have patience and be polite. The staff are genuinely concerned for your pet's well-being and will do their best to help. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem. Special Thank You to all the Staff working the night of 1/18/2022. Thank you for taking care of my pal Max. He means more to me than you know...or more than I can articulate in this review. Dr. Moudy (my DVM) was on point recommending that I take him to IndyVet.
Sincerely,
Steve
Joshua Morris
Unfortunately due to health reasons we had to come here today to put our kitty to sleep. The staff here was very friendly and understanding to our needs. They walked us thru the entire process and made us feel comfortable. Thank you one and all for all you did for us.
April Cole
Staff was amazing and facility was so clean Whole process was smooth. Best vet experience I've ever had.
Amy Kelley
We've used IndyVet for at least four years. They were able to get a rope toy out of my girls intestines (and fix her and tack her stomach all at the same time!) and since she's been diagnosed with lymphoma, we've seen much more of them. They are always so caring and friendly. You can tell they actually want to give you all of the information, keep you informed, in the loop, and a part of everything they're doing. They actually show compassion and I think that's a huge part of why I love having to go to them.
Amelia B
Dr. Kloft is hands down the best vet we've ever had a visit with. She was incredibly thorough, listened to all of our concerns and took the time to get all of our dog's history and symptoms documented. We are so grateful for her expertise and medical advice. After weeks of our little girl not eating, we followed her advice and gave our pup the prescribed medication and she finally ate a FULL MEAL this evening. I cried tears of joy. We had been brushed off multiple times by our previous vet at an unrelated office. She finally took us seriously and we are so so appreciative. Thank you again!!
Julie Singer
We had a great experience and really appreciated Dr. Klein! The measured approach to care rather than rushing to invasive procedures. I made this appointment as a second opinion after another specialist recommended a surgery that had a 10-15% chance of needing a second surgery. The team listened to our concerns and spent time with my dog to figure out what options existed.
Karen Shelton
Indy Vet was so compassionate, professional, kind & courteous when I had so send my 14 year old puggle to heaven. I had an appointment with my regular vet on Tuesday, but he decided he was done on Sunday. They even sent a notice to my normal vet! It was a satisfying last adventure for both of us! I am so happy they were there to take care of my baby when I needed them. They even returned his cremains in a dignified and caring manner. Thank you!
Jared Crawford
Ive heard good and bad things about IndyVet. My experience however was nothing but positive. My initial phone call was answered promptly, and my concern was taken seriously. The receptionist informed me of exactly what to expect and do upon arrival and informed me of the expected wait time.
< br />Upon arrival the front desk staff greeted me, checked us in, and got us back to a room promptly. The Vet nurse and Vet were very professional and explained all my option. This was the second time I have used IndyVet for an emergency and wont hesitate to use again in the future if need be. Thoroughness in explaining in office procedure and expected wait times as well as all options for how to proceed with my pet.
Faye Horn
Dr. Klein and the whole staff were super friendly and informative. Dr. Klein took time to answer any questions we had. She was also great to calm my fears some via email when I first noticed the problem.
Vanessa
Efficient, thorough, and caring service. The quick response to my cat's health condition was a relief and encouraging to me that Marley would be well taken care of. I ended up leaving, bc my normal vet was able to get me in sooner than quoted, so I opted to continue his care there. However, I have complete confidence that Marley would've been well taken care of by this vet, had I stayed. All previous times at this clinic have been just as efficient, thorough, and caring, though.
Taleah Vaught
Highly recommend 10/10 the staff are amazing and they were so patient with my old girl🥰 thanks to these amazing folks my pup was able to finally get atleast 1 good nights sleep and I’m beyond thankfulll🙏🏼 …
Nickie Cornett
The staff were supportive and kind despite being clearly exhausted. They handled themselves so professionally when met with conflicts. I was inspired watching them. They took great care of my girl, Adeena, and managed to keep a very anxious Mommy calm. The fact that the vet, technicians and front facing staff never once made me feel rushed or crazy for my questions or concerns despite them very clearly being overwhelmed with the patient load. Their quality of care for Adeena was top notch.
Medeba Garth
My experience with IndyVet was absolutely AMAZING especially under the circumstances that we were there. My baby Princess was a 15 yr old and at the end of her life. IndyVet was kind, gentle, and very compassionate. Dr. Keithley and the Vet Assistants were very supportive and thorough. They made me, my husband, and my baby dog very comfortable with the process. We were in a private room and the hospital was clean and comfortable. Thank you for all you do! You are under-appreciated. Thank you from the Garth family.
Merideth Ezell
So grateful for this vet! I found a cat (Sir Julius Yowler) that had been abandoned in my neighborhood. He was hurt and underfed and IndyVet was able to get him in and offer care immediately. The staff was so welcoming both to myself and Sir Julius, and the doctor and tech did a great job of caring for the little guy and explaining to me what they found every step of the way. Additionally, in the initial days of Sir Julius's recovery I called regularly with questions, and they were always happy to take the time to answer. Of course, they are a bit pricier than most vets, but it is a necessary premium so that they can afford to offer care 24/7, at a moment's notice. IndyVet was the perfect option to get Sir Julius his initial care while I waited for an appointment with a non-emergency practice. Thank you so much, IndyVet! I'm happy to say that thanks to you, Sir Julius is happy, healthy, and thriving!

My Jax was the sweetest cat I've ever owned. IndyVet ran to me when I brought him in today around 9:45 a.m. He declined quickly over the night and IndyVet helped me ease his pain today. I appreciate the haste when I brought him in and I greatly appreciate the love and care from the entire team. Dr. K was fantastic and shared a sad moment I will remember all my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart good sir. And thank you to the rest of the team for everything. I'll remember this visit if I ever have another pet emergency. Thank you
Alex Liedel
They were very informative and quick to help me and my dog out. The process to get seen at night was a little longer, but that is to be expected. I went back during the day and they were quick and super helpful! Definitely will be using them again if I ever run into an emergency. The care they gave my difficult dog was amazing. She doesn't like being touched and they did everything they could to help her.
Sandy CAMPBELL
We had an emergency and was referred to your facility. The atmosphere and staff were very friendly and inviting. They took all steps for safety and recognized my pup was in distress. I was so happy with our service from the staff. The care for me and my pup was first class all the way. Outstanding commitment to animals and their humans.
Tim Davis
Very friendly staff who quickly checked in our dog and updated us on status. The vet came out and explained the issues with our dog, ran more tests and then spent time explaining the diagnosis and possible treatments. Glad IndyVet had the equipment and knowledge to diagnose illness of our dog. Would definitely go back and refer IndyVet to others.
Andrea Peterson
Dr. Gillespie and her care team were very thorough with my dog and provided a detailed explanation to me following his analysis. When my dog came back to the room, he was smiling and happy-it was very evident that he was well taken care of during his exam.
Kathy Haynes
I had a great experience. Everyone was very compassionate and concerned with my dog Ziggy. The wonderful care my dog received . The wait once your pet is released is awful. I waited one and a half hours after my dog was released. I feel this is something that needs attention.
Jenny Haps
Great service and the staff is also so understanding and compassionate. My boy is resting comfortably with the gentle care from his brother
Yesenia Revelees
Super friendly staff and they help us right away to treat our puppy! Very much recommended ☺️
Roger Wyman
Indyvet was able to see my dog right away without an appointment early this evening. I had to wait a little while for her to be attended to.
Dr. Boone and his staff was able to conduct a few tests and figure out what was wrong with her. They were supportive and provided me with several treatment options. I appreciated their honesty and openness with the course of direction that I chose. I would recommend IndyVet to anyone seeking emergency care for their pets.
Monica Kreisher
When my dog consumed both chocolate and xylitol and I was extremely panicky and anxious. The professionals at IndyVet made sure that she got the care she needed. Throughout the experience, the staff kept me extremely informed and talked in a way that was calming. Their staff helped make me feel the best I could during a bad situation. I am always worried bringing my blind dog to a new place for care and worry if the staff will know how to treat a blind animal, but the moment I handed my baby to the staff, I knew she would be well looked after.
I would 10/10 recommend this to anyone in the Indy are needing an emergency vet.
Alison Davis
I’m very pleased with the level of care that my cat received. She started vomiting blood late on a Saturday and I was referred here by her regular vet. Though it did take a few hours of sitting and waiting in the exam room (to be expected at an emergency clinic), the vet and vet techs were very friendly and kind, answering all of my questions and making sure I understood the treatment plan. They made my baby feel better and got her the care she needed. It was expensive but human emergency care is also expensive. I’m just happy she was taken care of and that my mind was put at ease.
Bobbi Jones
I liked the Dr who took care of my pet and I liked the room that I had to wait in. Having a private room was nice so that I could let my pup relax and I could at least watch tv since the wait was very long. I appreciated the level of care and having a safe place to wait with entertainment while we waited.
haley b
This facility was very clean & staff were extremely friendly. My only complaint was the 4 hour wait before we were able to be seen with nobody checking in on us or our dog (which is understandable, especially during these times, but a check-in every hour or so would be appreciated).
The front desk clerks were amazing, informative, and very personable. The hospitality of the staff & how friendly everybody was blew me away. All of the girls seemed to truly have my dog's best interest in mind, and the cost was excellent, too.
Would be 5 stars easily if I didn't have to spend 9 hours there to get a lump checked, but with COVID, everybody can only do their best.
Ellia Aguayo
I really appreciate the care my dog Ryker was given upon his stay. I didn't expect him to have to be hospitalized. I was nervous leaving him overnight, let alone for two nights, but was constantly reassured during phone calls from Dr. Gillespie and talking to the techs when I would call to check on him. Techs Regan and Mackenzie were the techs I got to speak to and they were so pleasant and helpful. I really appreciate the care given to my dog when I was unable to help him the way he needed in this situation.
Amy Brassfield
I felt like all the staff were friendly and compassionate. From getting an appointment to the physician answering my questions, I felt like my seven year old dog, Milly-Parker, was in good and trusting hands. They really individualized my dog's plan of care. They treated her like she was not just another dog but part of our family
Laura Redmond
The staff at Indy vet have been very kind and caring. I could not have found a better
Place to take my due baby Ryker.
Michele B
They were great with my dog Gracie yesterday. So caring and concerned to help me get a correct diagnosis. Although we were there a long time, because they were extremely busy, their compassion for all the animals absolutely showed. I also appreciated the fact that I was allowed to sit in a room with my dog with my mask on instead of sitting in my car and waiting. They also all wore masks to keep everyone safe. I will always choose this ER because they showed they understand the owner animal bond and that animals are scared too and want there humans in there to comfort them instead of being put in a cage. Thank you for allowing that. I would give you all 10 stars if I could!!
Yevonna Lavinder
Had a scary situation with my fur baby. I came in early morning hours and they greeted me with friendly smiles and listened to my concerns. Staff worked very quickly (even while they were very busy) and made sure to explain the entire process to me. They kept me updated and were honest. They nursed my kitty back to health and upon leaving I noticed everyone who left that building had a smile and felt good about their experience. Wonderful experience! Would recommend 10/10. Thank you IndyVet for saving my kitty!
Emily Fields
We have been at IndyVet for 4 hours. My cat has extreme anxiety, and we were going to wait with him in our car if it looked like there were a lot of other animals in the waiting room. But they told us they could get us back in a room right away so we went ahead and brought him in. Flash forward and everyone in the rooms around us are waiting with their kitties in their rooms... Our cat was taken before we came back to the room and at first we were excited because we thought that he would be seen sooner and not have to wait as long. But it turns out that he will be waiting a long time, just without us in an unfamiliar space by himself. Keep in mind, he's so anxious we considered not even bringing him physically into the building til it was his turn. I don't understand why everyone around us has their cats and their rooms, but ours is gone. We were told my cat's treatment would start over an hour and a half ago and then we could check out... But when we went to ask for an update (nobody has come to check on us in quite a while) they told us that they were just THEN going to administer his medicine. After we called, things moved more quickly. It seemed like once we added pressure they sped up, but I don't understand why that was necessary. He's a painfully anxious animal, why wouldn't you try to get him returned home as quickly as possible?
Katrina Hagerman
I had to bring my 12 year old tabby in when he was puking and wouldn’t eat or drink. He had kidney disease so I was very concerned. His blood work came back and the vet said they were off the charts and his kidneys were failing. At the time, it sounded like she thought treatment could buy him some time. Unfortunately I did not have the $2500 for the deposit, and my parents did not want to pay it. We had to choose euthanasia. I really struggled with the decision in the weeks following because I thought if I had the money I could have saved him. I asked to speak with a vet at this office to ask some questions. I had someone from the office call me to discuss his case, and she told me it’s the highest kidney values she’d ever seen in her career and even if I had millions of dollars any treatment would have just delayed the inevitable and made him suffer longer than necessary. This was honestly a huge relief. He was like my best friend, and having him spiral so rapidly and thinking there was a chance to save him left me with a lot of guilt. I really appreciated getting to discuss his case, and it will really help me with the grieving process. I will definitely return here if I’m ever in the unfortunate position of having to take a pet to an emergency vet.
Karen Angell
Vet took time to fully explain our pet’s condition, possible causes and treatments. Staff was very reassuring.
Definitely recommend.
Tiffany Rigsby
Wonderful experience from the moment you enter the lobby. The entire staff is friendly, knowledgeable, & prompt. The facility is clean and has all the amenities. Peezo will have a full recovery thanks to Indy Vet; Plus he enjoyed making friends with everyone!
Sheila Zwickey
When no other vet would take the time to look at my cat's eye, the ophthalmologist at IndyVet squeezed us in. Everyone took great care of both of us. Cost was very reasonable. As busy as they were, they took the time to explain each step of the exam, the results and the medication. So thankful for Dr Klein and her team.
Cheryl Buffo
The doctors and staff were kind and compassionate. We came evenings to visit Lily while she was in the hospital. We always felt welcome and were encouraged to stay as long as we wanted. Everyone was so sweet to Lily! I felt very confident that she was getting excellent care.
Kathryn Paul
I had only a few reservations but I still gave 5 stars because I felt there were extenuating circumstances. We waited a long time but were warned it would be a long time before we were seen. I truly believe they got us attended to as quickly as they could and in keeping with the urgency of our situation. Also I was surprised we actually never talked to the vet, only assistants. But again, it was Sunday and there was heavy snow predicted and it may have caused high volume. Everyone was friendly and kind to our dog. We had a problem getting our paperwork that was resolved and in the end his care was very thorough and well documented.
Jennifer Anderson
Very kind and sensitive to a difficult situation. Professional yet caring. Responsiveness when I had a question.
Brittany Ferguson
In a time that I was completely beside myself and scared about what happened to my poor cat, your staff made me feel welcomed and at ease that my kitty was in such good hands. The compassion shown to me and my cat was so appreciated and I cant stop talking about the place to everyone who asked about how our cat is doing. Such a clean, welcoming place that I will recommend to everyone! Talking to me about my cat like she is my child. You knew how important she is to me.
Madison Clarkson
The staff at IndyVet were SO professional and nice. They gave us waters and gave us a room. I just can't even explain the level of relief we got from coming here. Honestly, for what it cost to have my cat examined, x-rayed, blood drawn, was really really reasonable. I will always come here now in case of emergency. The friendliness and the care they give to you individually is what I love the most.
Rachelle Steele
I had a great experience and so did my dog. Everyone was so kind, caring, and compassionate. The staff made sure that my dog was comfortable and well taken care of.
Brittney M
About a month ago I had to bring in my 9yo cat for an emergency enucleation. They were kind and caring with her and very personable with me. The surgery went perfectly and my girl has healed up beautifully. I highly recommend them for any emergency with your pet!
Chuck Deane
You all were absolutely awesome. Every single one of you. It takes special people to handle these situations. My dog Xanadu is a handful and you treated him like a King. Caring people make such a difference. Thanks for your compassion and your excellence in all aspects. Explanation, instructions, and the private room
Sunshine h
Dr Wood and her nurse were very compassionate and patient. Katie did a great job explaining all the details of my pets aftercare. All of my questions were answered. Didn't feel rushed. All of the staff was kind. There was great communication.
Derek Daniel
The facility was very nice and well maintained. The best part is the staff. Every person I interacted with was kind, courteous and helpful. My only issue was how long I waited, but I guess that is the nature of an emergency vet clinic. Overall, it was a great experience and I will return if my dog has any other pressing issues...which I hope is never! ;)
Kerensa Edinger
I feel that my cat and I were treated well and that my concerns were addressed. It was pricey, but that's how it goes with emergency medicine, especially on a holiday weekend. I was spoken to with kindness and kept informed about what procedures would be performed and how much they would cost ahead of time. I really appreciate that they gave my cat his medicine by injection so that I wouldn’t have to wrestle pills into his mouth at home. My cat is feeling much better.
Sean cook
We've brought our cat to IndyVet 3 times in the last year. They saved his life in December. In June we weren't so lucky and we have to let him go. The staff has always been so friendly and helpful. They did everything they could and I am grateful for them.
Silver Springs Shores Animal Hospital
Wow! Dr. Tatum St. Pierre is a wonderful vet and has such a caring personality. She has won us over to Indy Vets recruitment after such a rough start with the company
Lori Greemore
Bailey's care was detailed and perasnalized. The emergency vet we left the day before wanted her to have surgery right away. We went to Indy Vet and found that surgery was not necessary. She is completely healed with little to no sign of what happened to her. It saved us thousands of dollars and the fear of and recovery time of surgery. They actually cared about her well being. Most vets just care about the bill and payment..
Lindsay Schimmoller
My senior dog has received emergency services here and subsequently has been taken care of by staff in the neurology and internal medicine departments, and we couldn't be happier. We drove from Bloomington in under an hour. The care has been top notch, and the staff have always treated my dog and myself with respect and kindness. I have no hesitation in recommending IndyVet and will return in the future.
Lauren Brunner
Seriously the best veterinary care I have ever experienced, I have had to bring three of my four animals here within the last year (it's been a rough year). Each visit was under incredibly terrifying circumstances (1st time - my dog Sammy was having immense neck and spine pain, yelping in pain constantly, 2nd time - my cat Xavier had an extreme urinary blockage, 3rd time - my dog Lady was vomiting profusely and needed emergency surgery for a blockage in her intestines). Every single time we went to IndyVet every single person we encountered was incredibly patient, kind, and communicative. It is the most caring veterinary environment I have ever taken my animals to, all of the techs and doctors were so gentle with my animals and took such amazing care when examining and handling them. Throughout the entire process I was told exactly what was happening, all of the possible diagnoses the doctors were investigating, and all of the possible plans for treatment and what the cost breakdown would be. Speaking of cost - they were excellent at predicting accurate cost estimates and were very up front and and mindful of financial limitations (which unfortunately for a grad student like myself, is a consideration when seeking veterinary care). Even when the hospital was extremely busy, everyone was incredibly kind and helpful and made sure I was informed about the care of my pets. You can tell that every person there really cares about the wellness of your animals and genuinely likes helping them (which sadly isn't always the case for all veterinary clinics). For every single visit, Dr. Kuechle was the doctor who took on our cases, and I could not ask for a more caring and knowledgable doctor. He is so incredibly kind and gentle with animals, and was so informative and made all of our visits way less stressful and terrifying. I cannot thank everyone at IndyVet enough - I am so grateful to you all for saving the lives of our animals, thank you for everything you do.
Heaven Guthrie
Reasonable price and they will do anything to help your dog no matter the cost they are friendly staff and would definitely prefer to go there again Reasonable price and friendly helpful staff
Barbara Seeman
Three years ago, IndyVet saved my Boston Terrier's life !! He was only 3 years and became very ill with an inner ear infection that went into the brain. He was unable to stand or keep his balance. With medication he was able to be cured and is now a rambunctious, loving little boy. I'll be forever grateful to them for saving his life 🙏💞
mary marshall
The Staff was very friendly and kind - The drink station was a blessing and the selection was very nice. The wait time was very long - I do understand it is an emergency clinic and the most seriously injured need to be seen first and i certainly do not want anyone's babies to not get the life saving help they need... but it was almost 2 hrs. until my dog was seen...then it was 4 hours until I received a response and then it was 11 hrs. until I was able to take him home. That was a long day. In the end i spend 800+ dollars and did not have a diagnosis... just gave him nausea meds and told me to give him bland diet and sent home 4 nausea pills. That was a lot of money for x-rays and blood work and no conclusion. was told if he didn't get better to go to the vet. The staff did explain the bill to me and did obtain my approval prior to proceeding - i told them yes - as i wanted to do all i could for my baby to live. Just feel it is a bit expensive and a very long wait. You may consider having more dr. in the clinic to handle high volume days then it would make more sense to charge so much. with all that said - I will return as i have been here several times prior and it is nice to have 24hr. services available when an emergency happens. Kind staff that truly seem to care about my animal and that is the most important thing!
Jessica Deckard
They always treat my pets with care and compassion. My concerns are taken seriously and investigated throughly. They also keep you apprised of how much each procedure and test is so you can stay in budget. The results of each test are explained in an easy to understand fashion. My first choice for emergency animal care.
Haley Vibbert
Yesterday my 1 year old cat was having extreme difficulties breathing. Until then he had been 100% healthy so of course I panicked and took him to the vet. I called many places and this was the only place that would take him. From the moment I got there they welcomed me with open arms and started relieving my anxiety a little at a time. They did an X-ray, blood test, and proscribed a total of four medications and then sent an additional two home with us for $730. He also spent a few hours in an oxygen tank. I’m very very very grateful for all of the vets and technicians that took care of my sweet boy. You could also tell they were incredibly kind to my baby because he was just like new when I picked him up!
Lynn Durbin
Easily I found IndyVet Emergency Clinic online when traveling with my cat. I called ahead of time to ask about insurance companies accepted. The next day we came into the clinic and we're pleased with the care. One thing I would suggest is to come up with a way to silence the closing doors. The employees are probably used to the sounds but to anxious pets and pet parents it is disturbing.
Susan Coleman
Thank you for your compassionate and thorough care of our Vickie!
We so appreciate your ability to see us quickly.
Rhonda Breeden-Kale
Staff and vet were wonderful. Our specialist vet took the time to discuss and answer all of our questions. It would be helpful if cost of services were available to make informed decisions (IE: bloodwork - full panel, mini panel, and prescription costs).
vickie cooley
The whole staff was completely amazing!! They literally saved our Bella, she was in really bad shape when I brought her in and they literally took her to get her temp and her vitals before I had even finished the paperwork. She stayed there for 3 days and was never alone. They called at least twice a day to update us and told us we could call in whenever we had any questions or if we just wanted to check in on her. They always took the time to answer all my questions and were always happy to speak with us. If I could give them 100 stars I would would!!
Thank you so much for all your caring staff, it's really appreciated. I will definitely recommend to any of our friends and family.
Nancy Pavek
Excellent care and wonderful staff. They took such good care of my dog Rocky.
J C
I've taken my toy poodle to IndyVet on 3 occasions in 3 different years and was always treated very compassionately and professionally. On two of the visits he had a very bad case of pancreatitis and thanks to the medical staff, he survived; we are most grateful !
Carolyn Oosterlinck
Very friendly. Was seen very quickly. Felt well informed. Thorough communication.
Marla Roddy
Dr Gillespie provided information that was easy to understand and a clear path forward. My cat is difficult at the vet and unlike other places he's gone, they didn't make his behavior feel like an inconvenience and truly showed care and concern for his well being.
Sophia Gunther
Brought my cat in late this evening. I really felt like all the staff cared about my sick kitty. I was really scared and they were very nice. We were put in a private exam room to wait while they were in the back with my cat. From what I can tell we would typically have been put in the room with the cat but she was having emergency symptoms and they took her right back for care. I really appreciate this place being here.
Kenneth Dunn
I had the unfortunate experience of my dogs getting into a brawl and my Scully got banged really bad. IndyVet quickly and professionally got her the care we needed and she is now on the mend. I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks for helping my sweet girl! The care and professionalism during such a traumatic event for me was thoroughly appreciated.
Amber Wedgeworth
Indy Vet has literally saved 2 of my pets lives. I'm very grateful and will continue to go there for any pet emergency situations. The fact that they're upfront and honest about what is going on and what could happen helped. And they gave me options to choose from, when possible.
Cayla Weese
Staff was professional and kind. Clear communication. Patient with our questions. Flexible with how I paid for services. Understanding and gentle with our kitty even though he is cranky and really does not like strangers.
Ashley Armstrong
Rachel Was so sweet and took such a great history over the phone. She was very personable and pleasant to speak to. The dr seeing my baby Gia was amazing too! Very impressed with his knowledge, and he put me at such ease. It was a night and day difference compared to the first place we went in fishers. He spent almost 18 minutes on the phone with me, and not once did I feel rushed. He answered my questions and was just a pleasure to speak with. I wouldn't want my baby going anywhere else After the care and attention she received today!! I am so so so appreciative...they left me feeling so at ease, And i could truly tell that they love what they do.
Jeremy Klausing
Wait took longer than expected but everyone was super nice & helpful! I felt at ease knowing our cat was in good hands. The vet explained everything clearly while also providing options, along with pricing.
Heather Sims
Everyone seems very caring. I was explained what could be my cat's issues & what actions were being taken very thoroughly and was happy to try less evasive measures first. Taking actions to do testing the same day as my appointment since I was from out of town.
Misty Cochran
This place is incredible! We had to take our boxer in this past Monday as she couldn't walk, and they advised her spine had deteriorated and the treatment she would need was medication she was already on for arthritis. The vet did advise of a surgical option, but was upfront and stated we cannot guarantee it would work.. At that time we made the difficult decision for Sasha to cross over the Rainbow Bridge. Everyone at this Vet's office was so caring and understanding as we were losing our beloved pet. They were by us through the whole process and never rushed us on telling Sasha good bye. I would highly recommend if you ever need an emergency vet.
Kaitlin Zimmerman
Amanda at the front desk was very compassionate, personable, and informative. She helped make a stressful experience easier. Each nurse/tech and doctor we were in contact with were very helpful and kind. I am most appreciative of the great care given to my animals.
OG MANN
Been to this place on 2 different occasions both as a walk-in emergency situation!! Both times they communicated very well with a lot of knowledge. The staff is incredibly friendly!
Tiffany Campbell
The team was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable! They helped me understand exactly what test were being done and why and gave me a peace of mind. Explaining everything that was done for my dog.
anna emhardt
My cat is still sneezing and coughing. I believe it may be an allergy. She is eating and drinking water, which is a great improvement. She is still lethargic and not back to "her normal". I will be eliminating lots and adding back slowly. The fact that everyone understood and accepted my concern for my little girl was so appreciated.
Hannah Fagen
I made the drive from Madison to Indy Vet last month for one final opinion on my cat, Agnes, who was suffering with seizures that had become violent. I knew there was a strong possibility I would have to say goodbye to her that day, but wanted to know I exhausted all options in trying to save her. From the second I walked in the door to my walk out of the facility I was shown nothing but kindness and compassion. I’m not sure who the reception was that day, but she deserves an award for her kindness. She immediately called a triage vet to come take a look at Agnes who then took Agnes to the back for fluids. My wait time was longer than I wanted it to be, but the vet was amazing. He helped me understand that the best decision I could make was to let Agnes go and to end her suffering. He spoke nothing but kind words of Agnes (other vets were not so kind about her) and shared a quote about love for animals when I had to say goodbye. On my way out the door the reception gave me a look to say she was sorry for my loss. Even though my only experience with IndyVet was having to tell my cat goodbye, the staff and vet made that difficult decision so much easier by showing compassion and love for the animals and people they serve.
Katie Schmidt-Oholorogg
Very friendly staff. The staff were very friendly and the doctor took the time to explain the situation even though they were clearly very busy.
Richard Fugate
Nothing but excellent reviews from my wife and I. Last week, our Husky/Pit, Rocket Kitty, was hit by a car and we had to make the debilitating decision to put our baby down. The techs and vets were absolutely realistic and empathetic in assisting and directing us. They were fantastic in being there for us through one one there most cataclysmic moments of our lives.
Jennafer211
I am happy with the care my dog got during a stressful time. Doctor answered all my questions and we were in and out very quickly. I appreciate not making me wait a long time to get care for Josie.
Brooke Smith
They were really nice and helpful. I love People caring about my fur baby!
Cindy Grieze
Everyone was very friendly and caring. This is important to me because bringing my pug in for a surgery consultation had my anxiety up. Showing care and concern for my four legged family member helped to put me at ease.
Ashley Jones
I have shared how pleased I was to several local Facebook groups. They went above and beyond helping Deacon with everything and even went above and beyond to give him his nightly medicine while he was in the back with them. They were accommodating, clear about prices, and when his diagnosis took a very severe turn for the worse they were extremely kind.
Carole Bowles
They are very kind and gentle with the animals. They are taking very good care of my moms Chiwawa and they helped my puga few years ago with her seizures. Amazing people.
Jennifer Nunez
I love this place and staff! I can not say enough whatsoever about the staff! From walking into the waiting room which was extremely clean and no bad odors! The receptionist was incredibly sweet and fast to get a clinical nurse upfront to get us to a room. The nurse was very kind and sweet and informative. She asked what was going on with my baby. I explained that the flea spray we purchased from a pet store made her sick. She told us that she was taking my baby to get a bath. They brought her back to me in a warm towel. She was completely tired and relaxed. The doctor who was also informative came in while my baby was getting her bath and explained what was going on. He wanted her to stay the night to keep an eye on here. It was extremely hard to leave her but, I KNEW SHE WAS IN GOOD HANDS! I seriously love this place and FULLY recommend this wonderful place to anyone and their fur babies!
Tabby N
I have an 11 week old puppy that was not doing well. They were the closest place for an emergency vet which was a little over an hour drive, being I knew nothing of the area and was a little worried what kind if place I could be taking my fur baby to yet I just needed someone to save him I had felt. So when I arrived I had seen the place was very clean the staff was amazing the doctor was great explained everything well. I left with no questions and my fur baby turned out to be fine.
Jennifer Short
Everyone we came in contact with was very kind. They took my fur baby back right away to be looked at. They handled her with great care and explained the tests needed and results. The vet answered my questions and gave me comfort that I am doing all the right things to take care of my senior girl.
Lisa mclean
The wait was short and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. That they were able to work around my schedule and still get my pet in quickly.
elizabeth darbro
By Employing excellent veterinarians, technicians and support staff with the necessary equipment and space, I felt confident that my pet would have the best care available to me. You explained what would happen and it did. Everyone was super nice and seemed to care.
Jan Wharton
We had a great experience despite having to take our puppy in for an emergency visit. Office was clean, everyone was professional, and they took great, compassionate care of our puppy. Thoroughly explained concerns, diagnostics, and treatment options with us. We did not have to wait very long to be seen. I hope we don’t have to go back for an emergency visit, but I would recommend based off of our visit.
Katelyn Canuel
They have been nothing but the best for my puppy! She was attacked by our full grown Great Dane and was brought to them very torn up. They have called and emailed me updates and have not let me worry about my baby! I would definitely recommend them to anyone. This hospital has every specialist you can imagine and will do whatever it takes to save your dog! Yes it’s been expensive but she is worth every penny and so are they! I couldn’t have picked a better place to bring our baby girl!
Caleena Myers
I am shocked to see all the bad reviews for IndyVet! My experience was nothing like the rest I have read. My personal vet was unable to identify the issue with my kitty so they told me to rush to this location ASAP. Upon arrival they immediately retrieved my cat and put her on oxygen (she was struggling to breath). The vet came in and described to me that she had fluid in her chest and abdomen, which my vet didn't detect. The vet went out of her way to show proof to me and the samples of the fluid retrieved. I was only given a few options and was understanding because my cat was 18+ years. When I decided to put my cat to sleep and out of her misery, they allowed us to be in a private comfortable room together. They did a complimentary casket and paw/face prints for me too. It was one of the most traumatic times of my life, but I could tell that Dr. Z genuinely cared. A few weeks later, I received a card in the mail with personal hand written notes from IndyVet and Dr. Z.
The only complaint I have is I wish I could have been with my cat more during the testing and identifying what was wrong. I would have liked to been able to comfort her during that.
Larry Carmichael
You have always been professional and caring. I know that when I bring one of my fur babies to your facility that he/she will receive the best care anywhere! Thank you for all that you do for our special animals! You are a top notch facility with top notch people!
Justin Nichols
Reception Staff was friendly, helpful and empathetic. Tech and Vet we're thorough, knowledgeable, and communicative on treatment options and care. Treatment was ultimately successful.
Andrea Gadsby
The vets and techs are very good, however, there are extremely long wait times which would be fine if you were not locked in the exam room. A suggestion is to allow people to go to their cars if it is going to be 1+ hours and then call the individual when it is time to come in. Of course, this is only if that will work for their pets. I didn’t realize how long I would be locked in this exam room and I really needed something to drink and to charge my phone....especially with 2 hours in between seeing a person. I also think it would be good to provide the pet a dish for water if appropriate for the situation. Part of why I brought my cat in was for dehydration. My pets health is worth it, but it would make it easier on all of us.

My English bulldog had major surgery there. I live 3 hrs round trip from there. I got no less than 2 phone calls a day from them everyday while he was there. After his procedure they let me take my dog to my local vet for checkups after his surgery. They stayed in contact with my dog, including emails & pics of his progress. They called me for the week follow up and have checked on him since. I can’t say enough about the great care by the receptionists, nurses & surgeons. I would HIGHLY recommend this place. I hope I never have to go there again, but if I do, they are AWESOME!!!

Our vet referred us here, due to our newly adopted puppy being so sick.
We were greeted warmly, our puppy was immediately taken in the back and treatment began. The vet was very kind, as we worked through the emotions of our dog being so sick.
They ran the tests, and found the root of all of her problems: hypothyroid... this was causing all of her other issues.
They fixed her up. She is now healing very well. I was impressed with the facilities, the staff (all of them were wonderful, kind, and very supportive), and the care they showed.
They are a little spendy, but you get what you pay for, and we will def be using them again!!

Polo got better instantly after we got home. He was eating and drinking again. He has been very playful with us. He demanded petting constantly. He was really happy that he felt better.
The staffs asked a lot of details on how to interact with polo, which was totally unexpected. The caring heart of this place has really showed through and gained so much of my trust.

I had to go up there for ultra sound to see what was going on with my dog. I explained the situation and after a very observation of my dog. I had to make a tough choice of putting my beloved fur child down cause the dog was worse then I had I suspected. In making my decision the staff and doctors were very caring and understanding and helped get through it. They even moved my dog to a bigger room with a blanket and let spend as much time as I needed with her before the actual procedure and even asked if I needed more time. When it actually came down to it they explained everything very clear and checked several times to make sure I was ok. I would recommend them to anybody that is seeking a vet emergency. After a little less than a week they had received my dog back after cremation and when I went to pick her they were so caring and sweet. After a couple days the staff and Doctors sent me a very sweet card with a poem and lovely words for comfort and my dogs paw print and nose print. Such a great caring helpful staff and hospital.

IndyVet has a very friendly and helpful staff, and they are always available to answer questions. I has just been a really good experience! Working with a warm and friendly staff is always the most important thing for me and you guys are great at that!
Christina Garr

This review is for Dr. Wood, and her staff. They took amazing care of our Tina as they helped us make tbe best decisions for her terminal, cancer treatment. Once she passed they sent a hand written note showing that the staff actually knew Tina and her tail that was always wagging. Thank you, all!

We had an emergency with my senior cat and brought her to Indy Vet. The staff was amazing with my fur baby and my family. They answered all of my questions and gave me all of my options and allowed me time to process before making a decision. They helped us through the entire process with care and comfort. I'm extremely glad that I took her to Indy Vet.

We took our dog in for ingesting a large amount of chocolate. Front desk staff was efficient and friendly in face-to-face and over the phone interactions. Facility was clean and obviously sanitized between clients (thank you!). Veterinarians were knowledgeable and efficient. Compassion of the front line and veterinarian staff was a relief during a very stressful situation.

Last Sunday my six month Old English Sheepdog, Emma, necessitated an emergency visit to IndyVet due to partially eating a compact florescent light bulb. Dr. Westrick provided excellent care and extraordinary follow up service calling multiply times to check on Emma's progress. Emma's emergency has "passed" and she is joyfully on to other misadventures.
That wasn't my first visit to IndyVet. For the last six months Dr. Klein has been caring for my one year old Golden Retriever, Kate. Shortly after her first birthday Kate lost vision first in her right eye then in her left. I'm pleased and grateful to report that under Dr. Klein's care Kate has regained more than functional vision in both eyes and is once again exhibiting the playful, puppy like behaviors I find so endearing and thought were lost forever.
Only Charley my gentle three year old male Golden with impeccable manners has escaped an emergency visit to a vet. However, it is comforting to know that, should the need arise, excellent, compassionate care is available locally at IndyVet.
After writing the above, I read other reviews posted. I must say that the negative comments I read definitely DO NOT reflect the care I received at IndyVet. I found the staff compassionate, the care excellent, and the cost in line with what similar treatment cost at my regular vet .

So my sweet (dumb) dog, Harper, ate a corn cob. We didn't know if it went down whole or if she chewed it- and I was headed to MedVet when my brother said IndyVet was closer. Audrey, the vet tech who came in to get Harper's history was amazing. She was very thorough and got down on Harper's level to make her feel more comfortable. (Audrey gets a 5-star!!) Dr. Brooke Matusiak was fabulous. Of all the vets I talked to she was the most personable and when new information was available she was quick to talk to me. (Dr. Matusiak gets a 5-star!!) I was contacted by a vet tech the next day to schedule a time to pick up my dog before even hearing from anyone the results of my dog's follow-up xrays and if she was going to need surgery for a bowel obstruction. I know they're busy and short-staffed but those phone calls really put your techs in tough spots to answer questions. One improvement would be to email an after visit summary and an itemized bill. I got an email receipt showing my deposit and an email receipt showing a refund since she didn't need surgery...so an after visit summary and an itemized bill shouldn't be too difficult.

The front office staff and the doctor that took care of our dog was excellent. She the doctor loved on our dog and helped her when she had trouble with having her last pup. The customer service of the whole entire staff was excellent!
Lanette Steele
Staff was very friendly, helpful, and timely. They really took care of our dogs emergency for stitches and put our minds at ease. Genuine interest in our pets health made our worry less.
Sandy Black
We were referred to Indy Vet by our local vet in Terre Haute. Our baby requires services beyond what our local vet could provide. We were nervous about going to another veterinarian we were not familiar with. But we are so glad that we took Buster to Indy Vet!! Even though they are not able to cure him( he has a cancerous tumor located in the center of his brain) they were able to identify what was going on with him and give us several options to how we wanted to care for him. ALL the staff and physicians were kind, understanding and compassionate. Buster is home with us now and his neurologist has called us twice to check on him. We will recommend this facility to all our friends with 4 legged family members!!!

Dr Speiser and his entire team at Indy Vet went above and beyond to care for my dog. They performed a life saving surgery and were able to do so at an affordable cost. They were extremely caring and knowledgeable and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my little Pup in their hands. They took excellent care of her and kept me informed of her condition. Thank you Indy Vet for caring about animals and for all of your hard work and gentle care.
Ms.M.Lorelai Bennett
Everyone is caring and helpful, I truly felt the concern they have for my four legged baby. thank you so much The kindness and compassion.
Mark McCreery
The care and concern along with the follow up has been amazing. The instant assistance you gave to us from the time we arrived. The staff member that came out to our car was amazing. I wish I could remember her name but she was awesome. Also the surgeon that worked on Olive has been so good to fully explain the condition. Top notch service
Gretchen Brackett
All staff are compassionate, helpful, quick to allay fears, speaking in layman's terms, and the compassion for the owners as well as the pets
Jennifer M. Kirby
It was clean and welcoming. Staff was great and efficient. The wait time was a little long, but I understand. :) The Vet was very thorough and explained the surgery in great detail

Justice GSD
Warning: long, yet necessary review! First, I want to say that we were actually referred somewhere else, but we chose IndyVet because of a story I've followed from day one about a dog named "Justice." I knew that if they could save this dog who was obviously dying, they were more than capable of being trusted to care for our boy. We took our epileptic GSD to IndyVet to see Dr. Kelli Mossine (Neurologist.) Our visit started off rough as Technician Ashley Gayle came out to get our boy to bring him into his visit via curbside pickup. Our baby has never been away from us and being a German Shepherd who had a rough few days prior, I was more than nervous at how he'd handle being taken away by complete strangers. I walked them into the building before leaving his side and once he noticed that I turned around to go back to the car, he dropped to the floor and became visibly terrified. This caused me to break down and cry, fearing how they'd ever be able to perform his neurological tests if he can't even handle me leaving the receptionist area. That said, Technician Ashley was PHENOMENAL with him!! She not only managed to earn his trust, but quickly became his best buddy. She had warned me that they may only be able to perform the first set of tests on him because of how nervous he initially was, but to my surprise, they not only performed that set of tests, but all of them in a very timely fashion! Before I knew it, Dr. Mossine was calling me to tell me that Crimmy not only did well, but he aced all of his tests! She let me know that I could stop worrying, as Crimmy was really clinging to Miss Ashley! She stated that he kept "looking up to her like, did I do that right?! How'd I do?!" When Miss Ashley brought him out to the truck, he was an entirely different boy! He did better than I could have ever imagined and I truly believe if not for Miss Ashley and Dr. Mossine's knowledge of the breed, along with time and patience, this appointment would have never been so successful. My biggest regret is not bringing our precious baby here sooner! Dr. Mossine has a wealth of knowledge and shares every single detail with you. She takes as much time as you need to make sure you not only understand everything, but shares so much information with you that you likely never knew. I personally thought I knew quite a bit about canine epilepsy, as I've dedicated my life over the last year to researching everything and anything that I can to know as much as possible to help our baby the best that we possibly can. That said, we left there with so many notes, new ways to do things and how to do it and the best thing is, she takes the time necessary to write EVERYTHING down for you so have it when you need it most! We are feeling more confident than ever now, reassured that they will forever be on this journey with us! Our baby will be a lifetime patient at IndyVet and we are elated to continue learning from his new medical team! This amazing Doctor is nothing short of a valuable asset, one that ANYONE would be lucky to have to lead their medical team for any neurological issue! We couldn't ever imagine going anywhere else or seeing another set of professionals. From check-in to check-out, we were treated like the only patient within the facility. They managed to not only calm Momma's nerves, but taught me that they are the professionals and I need to learn to trust them with our baby, no matter how difficult that may be for me. I can assure anyone looking to come to the Neurology department at IndyVet, DO IT - you will have no regrets!! We feel so very blessed to have Dr. Mossine and Miss Ashley leading our epilepsy journey and are confident with their knowledge and ability, we have the very best chance of our baby living a long and manageable life, despite these terrible seizures. If I could say one last thing, it'd be "thank you from the bottom of our hearts to both Dr. Mossine and Miss Ashley. You two will never know how much our family appreciates everything you've done to show us that you care for Crimmy just as much as we do."
Rhonda Holtz
This facility does a fine job dealing with many different, at times very critical, needs of pets (and their caregivers). The doctor that worked the case was terrific. She was sympathetic to the issues surrounding the case, but also honest and direct, which was clearly necessary. All options for care were presented in a sensitive, objective manner, allowing decisions to be made without feeling pressured or under duress, which allows the best outcome for the individual pet family. Treatment course is outlined objectively, along with all possible outcomes. This is a good place to go when you think your pet needs some immediate care.

I was just so happy I had some where to take Peaches to get the care she required when my normal veterinarian could not help her. The staff was very thorough in Peaches care, testing and examination.
Keath Rhymer
very friendly knowledgeable staff the rapid response and plans for made for treatment
Rachel Caswell
Your staff is conscientious and clearly works hard toward the best outcomes for your patients. I've had three occasions to visit your hospital due to an urgent circumstance with my dog and while it's stressful, she's alive and well because of your work. Thank you for your 24 hour availability and specialized services!
Lauren Carter
The Neurology team was amazing. Dr. Mossine was so thorough and friendly and really listened to us. The staff is also great. I couldn’t be happier. I feel like my dog is in really good hands.
Mary Be
Everyone was nice and treated my dog with kindness. They were upfront and honest about the costs and time it would take. Place was clean and they were cleaning all the time I was there.
Kendra Bitner
They took a great care of my dog. They were more than willing to work with me and answered all of my questions. My dog had to stay overnight and they always were happy to give me an update.
Kate Coghlan
Our dog Zuko received great care! He had a quick triage exam right when we walked in and was treated excellently by the staff. We were given updates throughout his hospital stay. We really appreciated the updates and options for treatment! Zuko is home and doing great now.
Dan & Tammy
Last week, we had to let go of our little girl, Cassie, an 11 year old cat with lymphoma. The Oncology staff had been treating her since the start of the year and they allowed us to have an extra 6 months to spend with her. Their compassion and dedication exceeded our expectations.
I want to especially thank Dr. Charissa Wood, and Izzy, whose efforts and kindness comforted us in some of our darkest times. We'll always feel indebted to them for their caring for Cassie, and for us.

We were extremely saddened to see that all local ER vets were closed. We were sooo happy when we got there after 3 attempts that the doors were open for emergencies!! You have gained faithful customers for life just for simply being there to help us! You were open! And you had a full staff including doctors on site
Cherri Fowler
The staff was awesome! My little boy's dog had a horrible infection. They were able to diagnose and treat him and gave me the option to choose what diagnostics were performed, rather than doing more than I could afford.
They also have a blood donation program that I encourage everyone who can to participate in. Some day it might be your dog who needs a life-saving blood infusion.
