Sherlock Bones Animal Hospital Carmel, Indiana

I am new to Indy and needed a new vet after my furry friend got sick the other day. I was very nervous but they were able to get us an appointment within 48 hours. When I walked in there was a sign with all the names of the patients coming …

The staff at Sherlock Bones is awesome. Today my puppy had a grooming appointment and the groomer was very attentive to detail which I greatly appreciate! They truly care about my pet. The service is consistently above and beyond my expectations. Definitely recommend!

We always receive good care for our pets!

Extremely happy with the grooming service and Vet care they provide my dog. Very responsive, kind, and reasonably priced. My dog loves to go to Sherlock Bones!

Did a good job neutering my rabbit ????

Despite being a new customer, they were able to get my pup in quickly and were able to address his ailment efficiently. I appreciated that there was no fee for the first visit. The staff was also very helpful, friendly and kind to me and my pup.

The vet techs and doctor at Sherlock Bones are awesome!!!! My kitty is doing so much better after just one appointment, when her previous vet gave us no treatment and very little information about her condition and how to help her. They were kind and loving on her the whole appointment, and Dr explained every detail to me. I will be scheduling checkups for my other two cats here as well!! Scheduling is easy, they are very responsive to emails, and the price compared to my old vet is great!

Sherlock Bones takes great care of our 3 year old yellow lab. They are gentle with her, fit us in right away if our need is urgent, and are reasonably priced. I am confident we get the best care possible at Sherlock Bones for this important, furry family member.

I recently moved and decided to try a new vet. I took my mini dachshund to Sherlock Bones and was not disappointed! I didn't think I could love a vet clinic more than the one I have used for both of my pets for years, but I was blessed by the staff at Sherlock Bones! Not only was it easy to schedule an appointment, everyone was amazing and they even followed up on Vienna the following day. Love it!

The staff was helpful, polite, and my appointment was on time.

I have taken my dogs here for 8 years. My first dog a pug was treated like a queen there and the tradition has continued. They are friendly, professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable! Highly recommend Sherlock Animal Hospital.

Another vet refused to anesthetize a dog as old as mine. They also said if they did remove the cyst from his eyelid, he would lose part of the lid. Dr. Nix examined the boy, did blood work, and determined he was healthy enough for surgery. Now the cyst is gone, the eyelid whole if a bit snug, and the teeth clean. We're also using Dr. Nix's formula for aging joints. It's early days, but he is seeming more confident on walks. This is going to be our vet.

My poor pup, Kylo, had a pretty bad cough and no other vets in the Carmel area could see him. Luckily, Sherlock Bones had availability and were able to see him within a few hours of me calling. Both the vet tech and Dr. Nix were WONDERFUL with Ky. They made sure he was comfortable before trying anything with him. I really appreciated their responsiveness and caring attitude!

The staff truly cares about their patients. Highly recommend them for all services.

I just moved to Carmel and gave this place a try with my two cats. Sherlock Bones definitely exceeded my expectations! The check-in process was very efficient and I hardly had to wait for the vet tech or the vet, which was wonderful for my anxious cats! It’s very obvious staff genuinely loves cats and this isn’t just a job for them! Many vet places try to “nickel and dime” you for tests and services that your pet may not necessarily need, so I greatly appreciate the transparency and honesty with Sherlock Bones. Additionally, they send out text messages checking up on your pet after the visit! Highly recommend!!!

We have been going to Sherlock Bones for the past few months. My dog was given so much attention and love when she went. After my dog got spayed they sent messages checking in on her and answered all of my questions with patience and a smile. We cannot recommend Sherlock Bones enough and will be customers for years to come!

I've been taking my dog to Sherlock Bones for since 2015 when she was a puppy and after today's experience, I would not recommend them. Sherlock Bojes offers a program called PetCare Plus, not insurance but helps offset the cost of exams, vaccines and other things. I knew our PetCare plus was set to expire at the end of the the month and I decided not to renew it because I'm moving 2 hours north and will find a local vet. In today's visit for a flu shot booster, the assistant informed me my dog was due for her annual vaccines soon and if I wanted to take care of them today. I said sure, I have the PetCare, but its set to expire at the end of the month. Is it still covered. I was told yet. Upon checkout, I was presented with a bill. Apparently the PetCare plus has annual limits for services and I'd have to renew it to be covered. Now if I knew that up front, I wouldn't have accepted the vaccines shots. Julie,, the clinic manager stepped in and said the assistant was new and probably didn't understand what I was asking. Explain to me how this is my fault that she wasn't trained properly. Julie offered no help to the situation and left the blame on me. I look forward to hearing from Dr. Nix who will hopefully make this right.

Sherlock Bones has always been professional, accommodating and reliable when it comes to veterinary care for our dog. We would not hesitate to recommend their services to pet owners in the Carmel area!

It was just annual shots this time, but they have always been available when I needed them.

Sherlock Bones has been taking care of our pups for over 5 years now and we’ve continued to be impressed with their honesty, transparency, and diligence to ensure our pups stay happy and healthy. We recently lost one of our pups and I was so impressed how they took our concerns to heart, completed a thorough analysis, and were there to cry with us when we had to put him down. Following his death they sent us flowers which was the sweetest gesture and something I have not seen from other vets. They have several methods to help provide a comprehensive health plan at an affordable cost for pups of any age which we’ve been very satisfied with. We haven’t thought twice about taking our boys to Sherlock Bones and I’m certain we’ll be bringing any new family members to them as well. We’ve also enjoyed having grooming services on site which allows us to get the boys cleaned up but also up to date on their vaccinations or be seen for any concerns at the same time. As both of us work, the team makes it simple for us to get so much accomplished during one visit.

tried several places before finding Sherlock Bones. We went because of proximity and reviews, but stayed because the are so good with our little pups. We have since moved a good bit away but still make the drive to see all the folks here. Great vets, great staff!!

This place is amazing! The staff is so kind, and I were happy to get me in quickly when my other vet cancelled an appointment for my diabetic kitty. They made me feel at ease, and I'm officially switching to Sherlock Bones.

Our 9 year old Bichon Frise recently started having a lot of trouble and pain with his back right leg. We made an appointment with another veterinarian who told us that his problem was caused by Luxating patella and that a $3000-$5000 surgery would be our only option to fix it. After doing some internet research and feeling really defeated about not being able to afford the cost of surgery, I emailed Sherlock Bones to get a second opinion. They quickly set me up with an appointment with Dr. Kacocha. She gave him a thorough exam and determined that an x-ray should be done in order to see the extent of the injury. She was very upfront about the cost of an x-ray and was able to get it done during the same visit. She explained that the pain he was experiencing was from arthritis from an old ligament tear. She confirmed that he did also have Luxating patella, but that the pain that he was experiencing was most likely the ligament tear and not as much from the Luxating Patella. She then prescribed some pain medicine and a vitamin mixture to help with the arthritis. She said that currently we didn't need to worry about the surgery unless his condition got a lot worse! I cannot recommend this vet office enough! It was well worth my money and time! She made us feel like we had options if we couldn't afford the cost of surgery (which he didn't even end up needing). I recommend this vet office to anyone who feels like they might have limited options for their pets treatment!

I love Sherlock Bones! All members of the Staff and the Vets are so kind and professional. I’ve made quite a few visits in the past year that I’ve had my dog, Archie, for different health issues or even just concerns I had about him. They truly listen and work with you and your pup. Each experience is great - highly recommend!

DVM was very personal as was the staff. We’ve had other pets there and were very happy with the service we received. The thing that surprised us was the $5.00 a paw to clip our 13 week old kittens claws. We use to get that complimentary.

The staff is always very responsive and friendly. I needed to get updated meds for my dog prior to taking him somewhere for grooming and they always got me in same day at a moments notice.

Everyone here is always so nice, helpful, knowledgeable and great with my pups!

The staff was very good with our new puppy and took the time to help us with questions and concerns. I would definitely recommend them.

The entire staff made Fanny feel very comfortable right from the start. This is pretty impressive because Fanny has been kindly asked to leave several grooming appointments throughout her life. She is very aggressive when getting groomed, so sedation is necessary. However, even in the lobby talking to the receptionists, Fanny is much calmer than she was at her previous groomer. One plus is that the groomer actually speaks to you and thoroughly determines what you want. Added to that is the fact that they are about $90 less expensive than the previous groomer! I've only used the grooming services, so I can't speak for clinical side of it, but I have had nothing but good experiences so far.

They were very good to my Jazzy & I. She feels better already I think. Thanks.
