I had a chinchilla that was in shock and they done all they could to help him. That isnt the problem. Once the chinchilla past noone follow up with me. I felt that a good vet should pay attention to these details. Read Less

This is definitely the best vet clinic in the Bluegrass. Not only is everyone excellent at what they do, but these are the most wonderful people. When my Aussie (Champ) had an eye problem, Dr. Melanie Blair called me a day or two later to check up on how he was doing. When we had the recent snow storm, I texted to see if my appointment was still on. Dr. Craig Blair texted back, "Yes, we're open. But if you cannot make your appt b/c of the weather, we understand." Businesses are reflected by the people at the top, and everyone who works in that clinic is terrific. On a 1 to 10, they're an 11. Read Less

The clinic is warm and inviting. The staff is exceptional (especially Erica). The Docs are kind and calm with all of our cats. The staff is patient and treats our kitties like their own furry babies. And I love that the boarded doggos get reception "internships". :) Read Less

I can't say enough kind words about this practice. They have treated every animal I've had in the last 20 years! Helped with rehabbing when I was involved with that, treated all my classroom pets for free including removing tumors off my rat twice! My dogs are alive because of their care. The staff is always kind and thoughtful. I can't imagine a harder thing than having to euthanize a sick pet but they are so kind and thoughtful with that process. My dog was recently lost and when the gracious man took him to Clays Mill (on his tags) the workers recognized him by name and called my husband. I have Dr Blair's cell phone and he has come through for me in the best and the worst of times. This is a gift to all animals. I wish I could find regular doctors that cared about me the way that staff cares about my animals! Read Less

I've been taking my pets to Clays Mill since moving to Lexington in August 2016. The vets are all amazing and take time to get to know each pet and really give them thorough physicals. Whenever I have any questions or concerns, they're available via phone and in person, and they always explain things clearly and thoroughly. The staff and vets clearly care about all the animals they care for and create a welcoming and loving atmosphere. Thanks, y'all! Read Less

I have a 7 month old golden retriever and this office is her very favorite place to go.She cannot wait to get out of the car to go inside and see all the staff,She is a social butterfly.They call her by her name along with my 8 year old chihwaha(spelling wrong sorry)I have never taken my dogs to a vet where they didn't shake because of anxiety but Roxie.our golden is just so happy to be there and all the attention she gets is absolutely second to none.This office is the best I have ever seen.I have had some very bad experiences with surgeries I have had to have on my small dogs and every time they have had surgery they haven't made it, so I was very concerned when my 8 year old Brownie needed to be spaded and very scared. I was so relieved when I saw Dr. Blair carry her out to me when I came to pick her up. She is just fine now and is happier and has more energy than she has ever had after this procedure. You will never find a more caring vet and office staff than you will find here. Read Less

My pets receive excellent care. The staff and Dr. Blair are thorough, competent, and personable. The clinic is accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association. I couldn't hope for a better veterinary clinic, and am so pleased to have found this one! Read Less

Had to find a new vet quickly due to our vet office closing. Heard great things about Clays Mill so I took my cat there this week. The desk staff women were so friendly and very helpful to get new paperwork in order. Dr. Blair saw my cat the next day and was very professional & friendly. He explained the cost of the lab work that needed to be done and performed the work with care. I think we are going to be very happy at our new veterinary clinic! Read Less

Have been going to Clinic for many years with 5 different dogs and could not imagine going anywhere else. Murphy is always greeted warmly by the staff and both Doctors are first rate and treat my dog like their own family. Thanks and keep up the good work CMV! Read Less

1st time visit - I was very impressed with Dr. and staff. They were so friendly and put my dog at ease right away. We had a couple of moderately priced procedures performed, and they gave me the cost before administering them before hand to verify it was ok to proceed. This was above and beyond my regular Vet experience. I Would highly recommend CLAY'S MILL VETERINARY CLINIC! Read Less

I am crying tears of Love as I type this: "Thank you Thank you Thank you!" on behalf of those 1,000's of mutilated felines who trusted their little selves to the care of "humans" who then paid to have Cat's claws & 1st phalanges severed off! God Bless you for your Enlightened decision not to declaw! Read Less

Clays Mill Vet Clinic put me and my kitty, Emma, together! They nursed her back to health when she was dropped off there as a kitten and I was the lucky one to be selected to adopt her. She's been in the best hands ever since and is there now recovering from her spay surgery (too rambunctious for her own good). They make sure to update me and let me come visit her whenever I like. It's obvious they care about her and all animals. Great place!! Read Less

Thank you for taking the first step in an effort to educate about declawing. I applaud you. Being in rescue, I have come across many cats who had more health issue, both physical and emotional, which interfered with making them a healthy member of the family I have successfully employed many of the strategies which you have referred to and they have been effective deterrents for scratching on places where owners don't want them to. You are leaders in an important movement and I laud you. Read Less

Thank you for not declawing cats! Any veterinarian who does not perform barbaric outdated unnecessary p3 toe amputations on cats is tops in my book. I take my cats and dogs to a veterinarian who does not declaw cats, even if I have to travel an extra 20 minutes, it is worth it, they don't cry and whine in the car anymore like they used to when we used our ex-vet. Animals are sentient beings, not property for humans to mutilate. No wonder they used to cry on the way to our ex-vet, they were wondering if any of their body parts were going to get amputated.

I visited the clinic today with our new puppy max. They are very welcoming and nice. They make sure you a very informed on what's best for your pet, I would recommend them to anyone with pets they are fantastic Read Less

Bless your hearts, as a cat owner from earliest childhood, I abhor declawing and what it has done to so many cats. I do not feel it is 'controversial' I feel it is totally and unconditionally insane and cruel. Whatever your reasons for stopping this practice, you are being applauded by more people in more states (and countries that have outlawed declawing) than you will ever know. Kudos, to all behind this decision. (Yeah, I keep up with The Paws Project, they let us know!) You are all hero's. Read Less

Thank you for practicing veterinary medicine according to research and with the highest ethical standards! Keep up the great work and keep on educating everyone on how to keep our best buddies healthy. Read Less

Thank you for deciding to stop declawing! You're one of the few vet's I've seen who have actually had the sense to do your own research and realized that the painful and unnecessary procedure in fact does not keep cats in homes. I hope all veterinarians follow your example and start putting their patients welfare above furniture <3 Read Less

Thank you for your decision to remove declawing as a veterinary option Thank you for putting ethics and responsible veterinary care above financial gain. For the cats, you just made their world a whole lot better. Read Less

Thank you, for realizing that declawing is an unnecessary, life-altering and painful way of life for cats! <3 You've shown the world that, with education and compassion, humans truly can be humane! Again, thank you!! Read Less

We started taking our dog, Maggie I, to Dr. Blair over two years ago. Throughout the rest of her life, they were wonderful with her and treated her like a member of the family. We now have a new rescued dog, Maggie II. I took her to Dr. Blair for an evaluation. Both Dr. Blair and the staff were wonderful with her. It is so nice to have veterinarians and their staff members who genuinely care about their patients. God bless them all! Read Less

I've been bringing my pets here for years. Bird, cats, dog,they have treated my whole gang. I am always able to get an appointment on short notice. The best part I love is that Dr. Craig Blair and Dr. Fraebel treat my pets like their own. Complete compassion. I never feel like I'm just another client just trying to get in and out. They handle all the pets gently and the staff is equally caring. I know when I come here they are in good hands. The prices are fair for anywhere else I've seen in town if not less. They do discuss prices before charging you anything, if it is something you are concerned about. I've used their boarding services as well and that went smooth too. Read Less

I was referred to Clays Mill Veterinary as they treat a variety of animals (incl. small animals) as well as dogs and cats. In this case, my pet rabbit, needed an exam as she was not feeling well and was sluggish. Fortunately, it was quickly determined that it was her digestive tract had some blockage. This can be fatal to rabbits as they can die about 24 hours after symptoms appear. Thankfully, she was properly treated and she's just fine now. The diagnosis was on the mark, and the costs are reasonable. The rabbit will be 9 years old soon, and she's doing great! The clinic sends reminders for periodic checkups (every 1 year or so), and the cost is decent for those as well. Read Less

Awesome office and wonderful people! Just got a puppy from the Humane Society last month and they have been wonderful with her so far. Very personable people and everyone has a real passion for animals. I love that the Dr's give you their personal number in case of any concerns after work hours. It makes me feel a lot less stressed for any future problems I have. I'm so happy we chose to bring Frankie to them! Read Less

We've been pleased with the Clays Mill Clinic. Our dog, Murphy, gets really skittish about the vet but Dr. Blair is great with him. I was impressed Dr. Blair called to follow up when one of our cats had been sick. They really care and it shows. Read Less
