I can't say enough good things about this clinic. They've been our vets since we rescued our dog as a puppy, and they're like family. They genuinely care about your pets and want them to get better. Our dog had some pretty serious symptoms, and they thought it may be a chronic disease. Turns out they were right, and I appreciated how quickly they were able to test, diagnose and get my dog the treatment she needed to be healthy again. They were incredibly kind and caring not only toward my dog, but to this frantic dog-mom. Dr. Borlik and Dr. Lesh were very patient with my panic and answered all of my questions about my dog's illness. I never feel rushed out the door and always appreciate their time, expertise and the love they show my dog.I'm very grateful for this entire team. I know my dog agrees! Read Less

My family had to put our 12 1/2 year old amazing Clementine down this past week.  Needless to say it was one of the most painful experiences my husband and I have had to go through.  But Dr. Gregg and his staff made our last hours with Clementine very special and peaceful.  You can tell that they loved our girl too.  They were thoughtful, professional and gave us our time with her.  I cannot thank Dr. Gregg and his staff enough for being with us during this hard time.

We switched to Cottage Animal Clinic after several years at Banfield. Sooo, happy we did. My girls love the staff and I've walked out of each visit confident that they have received great care. There is no high pressure selling of unnecessary tests or medication & on each visit the vet & staff have listened and asked questions. I don't feel belittled because I'm not the most perfect pet mom in the world. My girls are healthy & happy with some things we can do better... but, at CAC there's conversation without shaming... refreshing. Glad we made the switch. Highly recommend CAC.Read Less

I came in as a new patient last week:  I was heading out of town for the week the following day and had 1000 things to do before my PM work shift, followed by my 2am flight.  I had not enough time, including dropping off my bulldog at The Range, as Companion Animal Hospital was our normal vet.  After a stressful drop off and farewell to my toddler, I got to The Range and was told that my dog wasn't updated on his shots (my mistake) and they wouldn't take him until I had that taken care of.  With no time to spare and on the verge of a break down, I attempted to take him to Companion to get those vaccines shot in and on our way.  Another road block: they said I'd have to wait in the waiting room for a good while before they could take me. I had no choice but to call around for anything else available.          I called one vet, unavailable. Then Google gave me The Cottage.  I called and was refreshed by an empathetic receptionist that told me to come on in; they could take us right now.  Maybe 2 minutes later, my exhausted dog and I rushed in and they took care of us immediately--no wait.  I was a mess, but the tech was so calm and soothing.  I think her name was Amanda.  She was great, as was the vet that came in promptly after, whom I believe was Dr. Lesh.        Companion was having a hard time faxing his files and I wasn't sure exactly which shots he needed off the top of my head.  Furthermore, my method of payment wasn't with me, so I only had manual cc entry as an option.  Thankfully, the great staff at The Cottage worked with me and kept things simple.  Plus, they only charged me for the medical services; they didn't charge me for my doctor visit.         In conclusion, this place is great. I realize that I got lucky that they had the availability to take in this hot mess off the street, but it was the hospitality that I was shown that is extremely important.  Thanks guys! Read Less

Awesome vet! Love bringing my dog in because I know she'll get the full attention of the staff and they're great at explaining options so you can make an educated decision. Plus the price us great! My dog had a minor infection and they spent an hour with her, did a swab, looked at it under the microscope and flushed out the infection all for $70! Read Less

I was nervous at first, bringing my baby to a vet we've never used before. But when we got there, the staff was so nice, the facility was so homey, I felt my girl was in great hands. The doctor himself took me on a tour and explained everything that was going to take place. I was so impressed that I told my coworkers about our experience. I would definately refer other pet owners to visit this lovely center!Read Less

Dr. Borlik and his staff do everything with a smile on their face :) which is not easy when you have a dog getting shots they never enjoy.  Very informative and personable, I highly recommend this vet! Read Less

At some level, I feel I shouldn't review this vet. I want to believe that our experience is uncommon because our first impression of this office was overwhelmingly positive. We lived briefly in Carmel and established care for our girls (doggy and kitty, both about 3) at Cottage.  The vet techs are wonderful women and very knowledgeable. Dr. Borlik is a very likable guy and the office is impeccably clean.  We discovered our kitty needed a cleaning. At some point over the last 9 months (since her last wellness exam), she'd developed this weird condition and her gums were bleeding. Okay. No big deal. My parents had our cat's teeth cleaned when I was a kid. Dr. B gave us a tour of the surgical area and we felt very at ease. The day of surgery came and we conferenced a bit when I dropped her off. I was counseled that blood work was recommended, but not necessary for a cat her age ("typically only require it for cats over 5"), so I skipped it. I'm not a vet, so I *listened* to the doctor. Now I know better to research everything before consenting or declining aspects of care. Anesthesia is a huge deal and shouldn't be taken so lightly. I'll save you all the trip on my emotional roller coaster.  Short end of a long story - something was wrong after surgery and it was ignored, despite a recheck where she was clearly in distress (and multiple frantic phone calls on my part). I was told she was just in pain from surgery when she was, in fact, dying. One day after recheck (three days after surgery), at an emergency vet near my parent's house, we were forced to euthanize her due to complete congestive heart failure, hypothermic temp and so much fluid in her lungs that it "sounded like crackling tin foil." She was made to suffer, greatly, and die an incredibly painful death. She was three. Read Less

Dr. Lesh and the staff took great care of our special  needs girl while removing her cracked tooth. Thanks  so much!  You don't  know how much it means to have someone that cares so much. We will definitely  be back with our other two girls. - Nala and family. Read Less

I have 3 elderly dogs. Due to their age, we have made a few unscheduled stops in the office and have always been taken care of immediately. I will never trust anyone else with my dogs. The Dr. truly is concerned and caring. I am extremely happy we chose Cottage when we moved. Read Less

Amazing experience today with our new puppy!  The staff were knowledgeable and courteous.  We were able to get a same day appointment.  The Doctor took so much time to go over everything puppy related.  He even showed us and explained a lab result under a microscope.  We toured the facility, and obtained quotes on a lifetime of care and services.  Very impressive, family like environment.  I won't ever take my pets anywhere else.  What an amazing place.

I cannot say enough positive things about Cottage Animal Clinic! Our first visit was today when my husband and I took our 3 somewhat unruly cats for annual checkups & vaccinations.  The staff were all incredibly kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. Generally, when we've gone to other vets it has all felt very rushed- which on some level I understand, as 3 cats can be a lot to manage. Not so at Cottage Animal Clinic: they took their time with each kitty, assessing them as individuals and making sure that we were all on the same page. I would HIGHLY recommend this clinic to absolutely anyone... they even sent us an email detailing each cat's procedures (with their individual pictures) before we had even wrangled all 3 carriers back out to the car!!

I LOVE this place! I started coming here in October 2012 and have been very impressed with Dr.Borlik and his staff. The atmosphere is welcoming and their staff feels just like family.I've been so satisfied with their services that I recommended this place to my sister as she was facing a life-threatening issue with her dog.  Another vet said my sister's 7-year old chocolate lab was going through liver failure and should consider putting the lab down. My sister decided to seek a second opinion to verify the advice was correct. Without hesitation, I recommended she go see Dr.Borlik. She took my advice and visited Cottage Animal Clinic of Carmel. Dr.Borlik spent an hour with her looking through the records, educating her and giving her advice and support! The thing that I thought was most inspiring is that Dr.Borlik did everything he could to help save the lab's life, while the other vet simply said, "Her liver is failing. There's nothing much we can do."  Obviously being in such a tough situation, my sister found comfort in Dr.Borlik's helpfulness. Immediately after leaving the appointment, my sister texted me, "I love your vet! So glad I came. I think we're going to be life-long customers. Thank you so much for telling me about them."

Dr. Greg Borlik and the entire staff at Cottage Animal Clinic has gone above and beyond my expectations every time that I have visited. Their facility is always clean and orderly and the staff is very warm, caring and knowledgeable.My most recent visit was with a stray female American Staffordshire Terrier. They were able to squeak me in without an appointment to see if she was microchipped and for a physical examination. The staff was very thorough with the examination and made sure I understood the entire process. Even though she was not chipped she ended up getting vaccinated, tested for parasites and heartworms, having her ears cleaned out and the best of all... a name. Seraphine. Dr. Borlik spent lots of time going over everything he found in her examination with me and made sure that all of my questions were answered. I will definitely be going back as well as recommending him to anyone looking for a new vet. Read Less

I had been searching for a good vet ever since we moved  to the Carmel area a couple of years ago. I had taken my pets to several different vets in Carmel, Noblesville and Indy for their routine dental exams, annual checkups and other needs.  While I met some fine vets I just didn't have the feeling that any of the clinics were exactly what I was seeking for my pets.But now my search is over.  Dr. Greg Borlik and the staff at Cottage Animal Clinic are professsional, knowledgeable, caring and dedicated.  I knew from the moment I walked into the front door that this is a very special place, warm and welcoming.  I felt like I had just walked into the home of a friend for a visit.  This is not a cold, sterile, hospital-type environment at all and I am sure that pets will appreciate this and not be as stressed.Dr. Borlik was extremely thorough and took plenty of time to discuss my pet's history and needs. He very patient and took all the time necessary to answer all of my questions.  He gave me a tour of the fine clinic, and it was truly like no clinic I had ever seen before. Cottage Animal Clinic is close to where I live but I would drive a long distance if necessary for the wonderful care my pet received here. I would highly recommend Dr. Borlik and Cottage Animal Clinic for anyone who is looking for the absolute best place for the health and care of their pets.I am sure that this is the first of many five star reviews for Cottage Animal Clinic.
