Brighton Animal Clinic 1875 Pleasant Ridge Drive, Lexington, KY 40509

"Bowie LOVES you guys and he obviously means the world to us. Even if we move we will be willing to drive whatever distance it takes so you all remain his vet. Thank you for providing excellent senior dog care."

"Cannot recommend Brighton Animal Clinic enough. While my husband and I were in town over Christmas, our sweet 7 year old yorkie went into kidney failure after rapidly progressing kidney disease. They squeezed us in in 30 minutes, an hour before close, despite having no appointments. They were beyond gentle and understanding. Our vet offered us wise counsel and advised regarding potential intervention options as well as what would be best for our girls quality of life. The vet listened to everything we had to say about our girls behavior and was not dismissive whatsoever. After lots of consideration with the doctor, we scheduled an appointment the next day at 4:30 for our girl to cross her rainbow bridge. She took a turn for the worst before her appointment and they told us to call them if that happened and we could come in whenever we needed. They were so accommodating and understanding. They genuinely had her best interest at heart. When we walked in their waiting room, they had a candle lit for us next to a sign that read “If this candle is lit someone is saying goodbye to their beloved pet, please speak gently and with respect during this difficult time. We appreciate your patience and understanding.” I was blown away by the consideration and kindness in this action. They were very very communicative and explained the process to us in detail every step of the way. They allowed for lots of privacy and lots of time, we never felt rushed. They offered our girl some treats they had in the back as a send off moment. They gave us a door bell ringer to push whenever we were ready for her time to come. Once we pressed it, they came in and put in the IV catheter and left to give us more time. When we pushed it again, the doctor and tech came in and allowed us as much time as needed before giving her her sedative. Once the sedative was given, they allowed us to let them know when we felt ready for her overdose. After her passing, I held her for as long as I wanted with no rush. They asked if we would like a lock of her hair and we declined but it was a very kind ask. We brought clay to take her paw prints and the tech was so accommodating and helpful in getting her prints. She even trimmed her nails and her paw pads before getting her prints. They put us in a room with a side door to provide some additional privacy in our exit. We had a couch and rocking chair and lots of tissues in our room as well, to provide some extra comfort. They are very thoughtful and intentional in all their little details. Unfortunately, my husband and I live an hour and a half from Lexington so it won’t be feasible to make Brighton our regular vet for future dogs. However, I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Brighton to anyone in the Lexington area, especially for older dogs and their end of life care. Brightons visit cost is very reasonable, especially compared to other Lexington offices. My family is very thankful for such a kind office to care for our sweet girl when her time came."

"We absolutely love Brighton Animal Clinic. We’ve been coming here for years and the care and love towards our Bear is unmatched! The staff is so friendly and caring, and the groomers always do a wonderful job. We live outside of town now but still make the drive here because there really is no place like this around."

"Can’t say enough good about our Brighton family! Carson is always so excited to see all of his girls and I trust that when I have to leave him, he is in the very best of hands! They are also very patient with me and all of my questions and concerns (especially Dr. Walden, his primary Vet). I never feel rushed or dismissed, even though they’re always so busy! We Love Brighton!"

"We love this clinic for our pets. They remember there names and love on them like they are there own. They where so great when we had to put one of our fur babies to sleep. Also they havw a great groomer Mrs. Susan"
