If I could give this place zero stars I would. I went into this vet ahead of making any appointments to personally speak to the lady at the front desk. Initially, this lady was a little rough but after awhile she was really nice. I understand you can have good days and bad days. I gave her my cat's vaccination paperwork for all my cats. During this time, she copied my cats vaccination records as I would expect any vet to do. At no time did this lady said I needed "to complete their paperwork." Never did she say that they didn't accept paperwork from prospective clients. Then I went to my cats appt. First you do take your animal into the vet. There aren't any COVID protocols. I went in at just about 2:08 pm on a Thursday. I think this is a busy time for them. I sat down. There were two people there with dogs. Those people were equally unfriendly. The lady behind the counter told me I wasn't in the system. She wanted me to fill out paperwork on my pets. I told her I provided this info to the other lady. She said she would put me in an exam room with the other lady and I could talk to her (so now the staff doesn't talk to each other?). I was very confused as to why I was responsible for handling a staff issue and apparently a "paper" issue. The lady at the desk kept telling me that they don't accept "paper." I have never been to a vet where they didn't want your animals' history. However, she wanted me to fill out a piece of paper explaining exactly what I gave them via past vaccination records. So, in fact they did accept paper. Their paper was different then the vaccination record. They assumed whomever was completing their paper was being truthful. The lady kept looking at me like "what do you want me to do about it?" I don't know, I thought: Do your job? She asked if I wanted to change my appointment. I told her I did not. I'm 100% disabled. I'm a veteran. My body is screwed up. I couldn't walk that morning or the day before. But I muscled up the strength to carry cat carriers into the clinic. When I go to Cat Care Clinic, they come to the vehicle and get the cat carriers. Even before Covid, they helped me carry in the carriers because they knew of my disabilities or they were just being nice. I don't know why this lady wanted me to change my appointment. I felt her question was very passive aggressive. She said they "were busy" and therefore that was the reason they could not find my paperwork. I didn't feel that was an excuse. Would she accept me being late to my appointment because I was "busy?" Probably not. I don't know if I was the wrong ethnicity. Maybe she didn't like me because I was old and overweight. Maybe she didn't like cats. Maybe she thought I could not pay because I looked poor. Regardless, I don't think she wanted me there and seemed to try everything to get me to change my appointment. She kept bringing up the paper issue. I said, "I don't understand what you want me to do." I didn't understand. They apparently don't take vaccination records. But got frustrated with me because the staff accepted the vaccination records. I finally left the vet office in tears. I've never had such issues trying to get an appointment for my cats. Cat Care Clinic is far more professional and quiet. City Way Animal Clinic is equally professional and quiet (even though they see both cats and dogs). If you need a cheap place to get vaccinations for your animals, go to Brownsburg low cost spay/neuter.

We have used Dr Keeker and Michelle as our vet for 20+ years. He is totally AWESOMEand so is his staff. The prices are affordable and the care is priceless. They've helped us in more ways than one. Discounts for multiple animals. Discounted when we had our house fire and our 4 cats had to stay with them for several months. You won't regret choosing Dr Keeker. I promise!!

We had to have our cat put to sleep this week because he was having neuro and psychological problems, and they were so supportive and friendly. They even sent us a sympathy message with flower seeds to plant is his memory. Highly recommend

I came here about a month ago with a kitten I had found on the side of the road and decided to take in. He had had trauma to the side of his face and eye, resulting in what looked like an eye infection as well as a visible cloudy spot in his eyeball. The vet said it was fine, looked healed, and sent me home. A month later we have bloody discharge and my cat won't eat, he's in a lot of pain and is acting lethargic. I called this vet and he was super condescending on the phone, saying he told me that my cat has cataracts and will go blind as a result--a conversation we never had in his office, and the emergency vet said that he doesn't have cataracts, just a result of past trauma. When I asked if I needed to take him to the emergency vet he said "well yeah, blood from the eye isn't good." At the emergency vet they said his eyeball is perforated and he needs to have surgery immediately to remove it and that the previous vet should have known that. Just super disappointed in the level of care we received and my cat's life was at stake and how negligent this office was. Definitely going to find a different vet and recommend you do the same. Also, the office smells like cigarettes.

Dr Keeker is an angel on earth. I called to this clinic in desperate need, looking for a place to do an ultrasound for my cat that didn’t cost me 900 dollars as most of any other clinics here... Anyway, when I called, he didn’t have the right equipment to do it but asked me if I had something else that I could send him trough email so he would try to give some kind of diagnosis. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to do it, and finally after getting an ultrasound, ran to this AMAZING place and dr Keeker listened to every word I said, about my cat symptoms (unlike many others) and helped her right away. He actually listens, he is not going after your money (like most of the vet clinics do) and tries to help and get things SOLVED. If you really want to save money and help your pet at the same time, come to this incredible place and your pet will be in the best hands in this city. I will be forever grateful for what he did for me and my cat. Ps: this place doesn’t look like IndyVet or VCA, but I guarantee you that you don’t need a nice building to find an amazing veterinarian for your pet!!

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Dr. Keeker is an amazing veterinarian. I can always rely on him for quick and knowledgeable responses when I have questions. My puppy had to have a rare surgery when she was only 3 months old. He did a beautiful job and even took pictures during surgery( which he didn’t have to do) to show me exactly what he did. He is also very affordable, He allows people to have pets without it costing them an arm and a leg. To sum it up, I highly recommend Dr. Keeker.

My cat had a growth under her chin. Dr Keeker removed the growth and did a great job. I had a great experience with this vet, and I'm sure my cat is happy her chin is back to normal. The prices are very reasonable.

Dr. Keeker and his Vet assistant Michelle make a great team. My MJ was spayed yesterday (Tuesday) and they are closed on Wednesdays Dr. Keeker made sure i knew that if i needed him even if they were closed he is just a phone call away. He made sure that i was aware of everything that was going on after MJ spayed and was in wonderful communication with me throughout the day. Dr. Keeker also sees our other 2 dogs Cujo and Hailey. Cujo has skin issues as Pits generally do, Dr. Keeker is very knowledgeable and we now have Cujo on a wonderful medication and he is doing amazing! Hailey has aggression issues from being in a previous abusive home and Dr. Keeker has gone above and beyond to help us help her. He has recommended an amazing trainer which Hailey sees once a week. I trust Dr. Keeker and Michelle with my furbabies who are like children to me. They are always available to answer all of my questions and concerns and never make me feel as if i am bothering them. You can honestly tell Dr. Keeker and Michelle truly love your animals like their own. I HIGHLY recommend this great team!

Dr. Keeker is an old-school vet with affordable prices, a small, family like facility, and just a really nice guy. He offered me his personal cellphone number on my first visit so many years ago. I used to drive our dogs up to Lafayette for the pricing up there, and now I won't go anywhere else.

Dr Keeker and his staff are the best in town. He saved my male doberman by removing a chunk of a toy that he ingested. Dr Keeker has been my vet for 2 years and he is, by far, the best in town. Compassionate and affordable. All three of my dogs love him too.

Dr. Keeker is the best vet around, and after having multiple dogs for over 25 years, we should know.

My dog Spats was hit by a car this past Friday night and I had to take him to Indy Vet because there is no 24/7 care in Bloomington Indiana! Indy vet wanted to charge me 4-7thousand dollars to fix my dogs broken leg and they wanted the money upfront! I googled orthopedic surgeons in Indy and Dr. Keeker came up and I called. He immediately told me to get my dog from Indy Vet, to meet him at his office, and he gave me his personal cell number, and didn’t have one concern of payment. He took my dog in without question, did my dogs surgery, and Spats is now home with me! He is an angel and I will continue to drive an hour and half to have him take care of my dog! He isn’t about the money he’s about the care of your animal! I highly recommend him. Thank you, Dr from the bottom of my heart!

Archer broke his femur on Sunday we waited till Monday morning to bring him to our regular vet who told us they couldn't do anything for him we searched around diligently for hours trying to find someone who could fix it we finally were recommended to go to Dr Keeker who could get the job done at a reasonable cost and do the surgery that day other places we talked to were booked out 2 to 3 weeks. It's really a blessing that Dr Keeker runs his business the way he does. Treating emergencies like archers broken leg with care and urgency.

I've been taking my dogs to Dr. Keeker and Michelle for years. My boxers love them both and their rates are very reasonable. One was hit by a car and paralyzed from the waist down almost 5 years ago. He now walks and gets around on his own for the most part. I never though he'd walk again at all, so thank you Doc and Michelle!! And a special thanks to Michelle for holding my 13 year old girl Kaya and crying with me when I had to put her to sleep a couple of weeks ago. Love, love, love you both!!

My wife and I absolutely adore Dr. Keeker and his staff. They have always taken the time to explain things, discuss options and they are very knowledgeable. They are very friendly and easy to work with. The first time we took our dog there you could tell they love pets. We have a Berniedoodle and she LOVES to see the staff there. She recently went through a major surgery and Dr. Keeker and his staff took care of her and she made a full recovery! He is very fair in his pricing and his focus foremost is taking care of your pet. We'll always take our dog to Dr. Keeker! It was a great recommendation from a friend of ours. We travel 20 miles out of our way to have Dr. Keeker and his staff care for our dog! Thanks for everything you do for us Dr. Keeker and Michelle!

Best vet experience I've ever had. A friend found a dog that had been hit by a car and suffered a broken leg and hip. After hours of research and calling different vets, someone recommended Dr. Keeker. He got us in immediately, took X-rays …
