Blue Paw Primary Pet Care
Lexington, Kentucky
General Info
Blue Paw Primary Pet Care in Lexington provides Kentucky pets and their caregivers with an observational-based veterinary experience designed to align with animal exploration and acclimatization behaviors. When animals arrive, check-in procedures include observation of their responses to scent layers, flooring texture, eye contact, and nearby movement. Clinicians adjust examination procedures upon receiving posture signals and handling feedback by decelerating or halting their actions in response to patient restlessness or changes in breathing patterns and resistance. Examinations involve intricate assessments of fur thickness, body moisture levels, muscular structure, limb reaction times, tooth surfaces, mouth temperature, and belly pliability. Homeowners receive invitations to discuss recent household activities where subtle adjustments in daily routines along with vocal changes and energy patterns provide guidance for future actions. Blue Paw Primary Pet Care delivers organized diagnostic services alongside immunizations while also providing pain monitoring and aging wellness protocols together with collaborative illness mapping. The scheduling of appointments permits visits to occur in a single session or over multiple days based on the emotional capacities of both the animal and household members. A combination of visual tools including diagrams, tracking calendars, and photo logs are used to maintain communication across visits. The essence of follow-up care transforms from simple reminders into complex dialogues. Check-ins depend on behavioral settling instead of solely relying on timeframes. Pet owners receive instruction on monitoring sensory regulation and activity re-entry after visits for animals who either withdraw or externalize following stimulation-heavy experiences. Blue Paw Primary Pet Care delivers veterinary services throughout Lexington and Kentucky's neighboring regions by initiating awareness steps while supporting home care routines and respecting both physical and emotional boundaries throughout the process.

The Richmond Rd Afford-A-Vet has always gone above and beyond for my furbabies. I have taken them there for the past 7 years and have always received great care and concern for my children. I lost my little Sassy girl last May after her battle with congestive heart failure. The doctors and techs did everything in their power to care for her while she was sick. When i finally lost her they hand wrote a very touching card and gave it to me. 2 weeks ago i lost my little boy, Ozzie. Again the doctors and techs had done everything humanly possible for him. I received a card in the mail today from one of the doctors and 2 of the techs. It made me cry but also made me feel really good that they cared about my child and me enough to send a card. I love this place and will continue to take my newest furbaby there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr. Rankin, Dr. Gale-Dyer, Mackenzie, Eliza, Christy and Gina for all you have done for my family.

Charged 4 times the fee for staff's poor time management and for asking quetions. I had two appointments scheduled back to back one for a dog and one for a cat. The appointments took over 1 1/2 hours. I was patient and did not complain about having to wait and the time it took. I spent less than 10 minutes with the vet for both appointments. I just got an email blaming me for their poor time management and criticiing me for asking the vet questions. AND saying from now on instead of being charged the usual $15 for an appointment, I will be charged $55. The email says "TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR INQUISITIVE MINE FUTURE EXAMINATIONS WILL BE $55,00 AND RECHECK EXAMINATIONS WILL BE $27.50"What other vet charges almost 4 times price for taking a lot of time to treat a pet and snidely criticizes a pet owner for asking questions. This place obviously doesn't want pet owners asking questions and blames bet owners for the staff's own bad time management. Charging 4 times the regular fee is unethical and so is demanding owners pay extra for asking questions. Even when the vet doesn't know the answers.

Took my mom's cat here yesterday and had a GREAT experience. The lady who came out and handled mom's cat was very knowledgeable and thorough. She took extra time to tell us exactly how to administer the cat's medicine even repeating herself when I looked confused. On top of it all the prices are beyond reasonable. They did two separate things on the cat and also gave us two lots of medicine and the price was less than $50. I will be bringing our dog here for sure!

Do NOT be dissuaded by the name. Even though they offer great prices, they offer even better care i.e. the price does NOT reflect the care given. I have taken my pets to various veterinarians over the years and several here in Lexington. I had one particularly horrid experience with one off of Tates Creek Road, so I am especially picky when choosing a new place. Afford-A-Vet provides excellent service and exhibits the utmost professionalism. This team is both knowledgeable and cares about their patients. There is one technician, Christy, who spends extra time going over any questions, thoroughly explaining everything, and providing pamphlets and information about questions asked. They really do go above and beyond. Everyone from the receptionist to the veterinarian has such great manners every visit, and I can tell they all really love animals and that it is not just a job to them. Thank you, Richmond Rd. Afford-A-Vet team! My fur-babies will soon be seeing you again for their shots and yearly checkup! :)

We have been to afford a vet several times with dogs and cats.
Things I like:
-The ability to usually get an appointment same day if needed.
-The compassion of the staff (the vet and techs actually get down on the floor with the animals to comfort them)
-Usually very reachable by phone
-Very understanding of budget constraints and are very willing to work with you on this.
-Were able to diagnose a tumor on my dog, and while they could not operate on it they referred us to a fantastic vet with a discount to do so.
Only one complaint. Sometimes you're waiting a while. This is the nature of a clinic that is high volume and low cost, especially when they take walk ins (which I think is great). So I am completely understanding of this even though it can be frustrating.
All in all I am very pleased with Afford a Vet.

We have been visiting this office for a few years now. They are the ONLY office in Lexington willing to save our dog Frankie when he had Parvo in 2011. They kept him in quarantine and gave him medication until he was well enough to be taken home. I am so thankful they were able to save my best friend's life. They work well with all 3 of our dogs (all different sizes). Great staff, affordable, and they really care!

Took our pup in for her first check up. The staff was very friendly and the vet and nurse(?) both treated our doggy with care and answered all our silly questions. This is a good option to get your pets' vaccinations and regular check ups at a reasonable price. We will probably go to another vet for her long term care or if she gets sick as they lack full facilities but as far as basic needs Afford-A-Vet is perfect for the budget conscious. Despite their goofy name, they provide quality basic care at a price that won't be beat.

I think this place is great!! I called and got an appointment the same DAY for my sweet sassy. She hurt her leg playing with my dad. They told me the phone, they did not have x-rays. I told them I could not afford an expensive clinic. So they said would have Vet look at her, tell if she needed x-rays and get her something to help with the pain. The vet was great, so kind and sweet. She took great care with Sassy's little leg. She did need x-rays after all:( So they sent to a clinic in Danville for the x-rays. THEY DID NOT EVEN CHARGE ME ANOTHER EXAM FEE and gave me a discount :) because I was an Afford-a- vet client. It ended of being a minor fracture with a little rest, splint, and pain medication. She was back to normal. They really helped me out and Sassy loved them. THIS PLACES ROCKS!!

What would I tell a friend? I would say run the other way. Against my better instincts, I took a young stray to this facility for routine checkups....(in hopes of inviting him home) ....which turned-out fine...and was offered a neutering. I thought, "It's time...why not?" Made a horrible mistake and lost him shortly thereafter. Blindsided and devastated No compassion from management/owner. She offered a few "Oh Wells".......staff looked at the ceiling. Couldn't believe it....and from the looks on the faces of staff...neither could they. Speaks volumes. If you truly care about your pets....go to a more professional vet.. You won't find it here...and neither will I in the future. Not here. God Rest Baby Blue.

I cannot sing their praises enough! I have brought my two bull mastiffs there for over a year now. They are very affordable, but that isn't even the best part. I am a crazy dog owner, who truly believes that my dogs are my children. The staff was always more than accommodating, sweet, caring, and helpful to me and my sweet puppies. We recently had to put one of our dogs down and they made an absolutely terrible experience bearable. I know they care about my dogs and have always given them the best care. I would recommend them to everyone and will always take my pups there!

I am so glad I chose this Vet Clinic, They were so kind, so friendly and so professional. I had read the previous reviews and turns out, they had an unfriendly vet previously, but they got rid of him. The Staff now is amazing. My poor dog was nervous and bless her heart she threw up, 3 Times and the staff could NOT have been any nicer, they were like, she is just nervous, it happens. The treatment, to me and my pet were outstanding and they treated my dogs injury and I was happily surprised to see my very very reasonable bill. I am going to recommend them to my sister and all my friends! I love my pet but can't afford a regular vet clinic any more. This is the new home for the two dogs in my life I love so much! Make an appointment, you won't be disappointed, I know I wasn't! :"") Thanks Aford-A-Vet! Dan

I think they must have a new vet. I have been there several times with my dogs. I saw two different vets; they were very kind and understood that I love my dog, but I am not a millionaire. They adjusted to fix my needs and didn't make me feel like a bad pet owner. I did have to wait a while to see the doctor, but the money I saved made the wait worthwhile. I think it is a great place for any pet, but especially one on a budget.

Examinations involve intricate assessments of fur thickness, body moisture levels, muscular structure, limb reaction times, tooth surfaces, mouth temperature, and belly pliability. Homeowners receive invitations to discuss recent household activities where subtle adjustments in daily routines along with vocal changes and energy patterns provide guidance for future actions.

-The ability to usually get an appointment same day if needed.
-The compassion of the staff (the vet and techs actually get down on the floor with the animals to comfort them)
-Usually very reachable by phone
-Very understanding of budget constraints and are very willing to work with you on this.
-Were able to diagnose a tumor on my dog, and while they could not operate on it they referred us to a fantastic vet with a discount to do so.
Only one complaint. Sometimes you're waiting a while. This is the nature of a clinic that is high volume and low cost, especially when they take walk ins (which I think is great). So I am completely understanding of this even though it can be frustrating.
All in all I am very pleased with Afford a Vet.

Just no! So we go in because my cats eye is watering for a week right. Nothing major. The tech tells me they can clip his nails too for around $10.00 I tell her he does not like getting that done and she assures me it will be fine. Next thing I know she comes in and tells me it took four of them to hold him down to cut his nails and now I have to pay $20.00. Also that during this torture he peed and pooed on himself! I am so infuriated and refused to pay the extra charge. I told her if he was fighting that bad to where he had an accident on himself why in the world would they continue on with that?! And without my permission! I brought my cat to get his eye checked not to get held down by four vets and get so upset where he wet and craps himself! Unacceptable...just to make an extra $10.00? Next time Afford-A-Not-Vet ask the owners permission before you decide to do this type of crap to our pets! Never again!

I was able to get our little Joey in on the same day I called! The Doctor and staff were friendly and caring. Will definitely return for future care!

I have taken my cat there for a couple different reasons and they always made me feel comfortable & they were great with my baby girl kitty. They are very reasonable on they prices for routine care. I would highly recommend anyone to take their pets there for care. I plan on stsying with them for a long time. Thanks Afford-A-Vet for your time & caring!

We have been visiting this office for a few years now. They are the ONLY office in Lexington willing to save our dog Frankie when he had Parvo in 2011. They kept him in quarantine and gave him medication until he was well enough to be taken home. I am so thankful they were able to save my best friend's life. They work well with all 3 of our dogs (all different sizes). Great staff, affordable, and they really care!

Took our pup in for her first check up. The staff was very friendly and the vet and nurse(?) both treated our doggy with care and answered all our silly questions. This is a good option to get your pets' vaccinations and regular check ups at a reasonable price. We will probably go to another vet for her long term care or if she gets sick as they lack full facilities but as far as basic needs Afford-A-Vet is perfect for the budget conscious. Despite their goofy name, they provide quality basic care at a price that won't be beat.

I think this place is great!! I called and got an appointment the same DAY for my sweet sassy. She hurt her leg playing with my dad. They told me the phone, they did not have x-rays. I told them I could not afford an expensive clinic. So they said would have Vet look at her, tell if she needed x-rays and get her something to help with the pain. The vet was great, so kind and sweet. She took great care with Sassy's little leg. She did need x-rays after all:( So they sent to a clinic in Danville for the x-rays. THEY DID NOT EVEN CHARGE ME ANOTHER EXAM FEE and gave me a discount :) because I was an Afford-a- vet client. It ended of being a minor fracture with a little rest, splint, and pain medication. She was back to normal. They really helped me out and Sassy loved them. THIS PLACES ROCKS!!

What would I tell a friend? I would say run the other way. Against my better instincts, I took a young stray to this facility for routine checkups....(in hopes of inviting him home) ....which turned-out fine...and was offered a neutering. I thought, "It's time...why not?" Made a horrible mistake and lost him shortly thereafter. Blindsided and devastated No compassion from management/owner. She offered a few "Oh Wells".......staff looked at the ceiling. Couldn't believe it....and from the looks on the faces of staff...neither could they. Speaks volumes. If you truly care about your pets....go to a more professional vet.. You won't find it here...and neither will I in the future. Not here. God Rest Baby Blue.

I cannot sing their praises enough! I have brought my two bull mastiffs there for over a year now. They are very affordable, but that isn't even the best part. I am a crazy dog owner, who truly believes that my dogs are my children. The staff was always more than accommodating, sweet, caring, and helpful to me and my sweet puppies. We recently had to put one of our dogs down and they made an absolutely terrible experience bearable. I know they care about my dogs and have always given them the best care. I would recommend them to everyone and will always take my pups there!

I am so glad I chose this Vet Clinic, They were so kind, so friendly and so professional. I had read the previous reviews and turns out, they had an unfriendly vet previously, but they got rid of him. The Staff now is amazing. My poor dog was nervous and bless her heart she threw up, 3 Times and the staff could NOT have been any nicer, they were like, she is just nervous, it happens. The treatment, to me and my pet were outstanding and they treated my dogs injury and I was happily surprised to see my very very reasonable bill. I am going to recommend them to my sister and all my friends! I love my pet but can't afford a regular vet clinic any more. This is the new home for the two dogs in my life I love so much! Make an appointment, you won't be disappointed, I know I wasn't! :"") Thanks Aford-A-Vet! Dan

I think they must have a new vet. I have been there several times with my dogs. I saw two different vets; they were very kind and understood that I love my dog, but I am not a millionaire. They adjusted to fix my needs and didn't make me feel like a bad pet owner. I did have to wait a while to see the doctor, but the money I saved made the wait worthwhile. I think it is a great place for any pet, but especially one on a budget.
