Central Kentucky Veterinary Center

We cannot recommend CKCV enough. A few days ago our Ava girl started having issues and upon two days with CKCV we found out that she was unfortunately nearing the end of her 16 years. She has always gone to this vet and we decided to let her go. From ugly crying in the office to struggling to book the appointment, none of the staff ever made us feel uncomfortable or judged. Our vet, Liam McConnell was literally what felt like an angel through the whole process. We had never had to euthanize before, and he really felt human to us. He was explaining everything as we went on, from her sickness to how the medicine worked as we put her to sleep. He really knows how to communicate with people in a way that made us comfortable leaving Ava in his care. Not a single person we interacted with during this time was less than amazing. My husband and I have decided that we will never have another vets office. Thank you CKCV team for the peace of mind during this process!

I have been a CKVC patient for years. The vet and vet techs are WONDERFUL. Super kind, informative, great with the animals, etc. The front desk staff is extremely rude. I showed up to an 840PM appointment that I scheduled that evening for urgent care around 630PM. I had no intention to rush staff, but my dog’s condition had progressively worsened and she was vomiting blood and having pure blood bowel movements every 10-15mins and immediately after drinking water. I went to the vet early out of concern and wanting to be in the clinic in the case she was to get even worse between then and the appointment time. I had no problem waiting and even apologized for showing up early, explaining the situation. The receptionist was very hostile with me, expressing “coming in early won’t make a difference, he’s fully booked” and “I’ll put you in a room but you’re still going to have to wait” in harsh tones while rolling her eyes and telling me I “need to be patient and to prepare for a long wait”. I never expected to be seen in front of others, I was just trying to be proactive for my pet. I even offered to leave and try to take her to an ER vet if they felt I was intruding. This employee made a stressful evening even worse. It is unlikely I will continue to bring my pets here knowing that is the kind of greeting I will receive.

Took our elderly dog to get her some relief from an infection. They gave her some antibiotics and a spray foam to put on her "spots". They didn't try to up sell us on anything (we have been clients for over 30 years). We were in and out at about $130.
