Carmel Clay Animal Hospital Reviews

I sadly have to advise you to be cautious should you take your fur baby here. I took my cat in for lethargy, vomiting, and bloating and was told it was just gas from eating something he shouldn't have... no imaging and no labs recommended but I asked for labs. 2 days later labs show severe anemia and mild pancreatitis, was then told it was autoimmune and to give steroids and antibiotics and repeat labs in 2 weeks. Being in the medical profession I expressed my concerns for internal bleeding given the anemia and bloating and was told that was not the case. Again, no imaging. Against my gut, I followed instructions and gave the steroids and antibiotics. He remained stable for a few days but wasn't improving. He stopped eating entirely over the weekend and I took him to the emergency vet where they did do imaging and discovered a very large pancreatic mass that was causing internal bleeding... just as I suspected. The mass was so large it was felt on a physical exam too. A sample was taken from his swollen belly and was all blood. I had to make the gut wrenching decision to lay my baby to sleep after almost 2 weeks of him silently suffering, I had no idea, I trusted the doctor. I'll never forgive myself for not trusting my gut and pushing for more answers. I understand that everyone is human and makes mistakes, but please listen when someone who has been with their pet every single day for years expresses concerns, take the extra step. I'm left with an empty pocket, empty hole in my heart, and painful images of my baby's last moments as his stomach contents of blood and bowel poured onto me as he drew his last breath. Yes, it's intense but that is my truth. Be cautious and advocate.

Dr Sweely and team are the kindest, most caring, and thorough vet I've ever been to.

Dr. Sweeley is AMAZING! The staff are also so caring.

I had an outstanding experience at Carmel Clay Animal Hospital, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I called several neighborhood vets searching for a place to examine and neuter a new cat in our family. From the outset, the staff at Carmel Clay were empathetic and helpful. They managed to fit us into their busy schedule the same week, even though it was just before Labor Day. From the moment we arrived, it was evident that the staff shares a deep love for animals and is dedicated to providing the best care possible. They conducted a comprehensive examination and neutering procedure, all while demonstrating genuine concern and kindness for our cat. They followed-up with extensive notes and called us the following day to ensure our cat was recovering. Carmel Clay Animal Hospital truly stands out for its prompt, attentive, and dedicated service. I am incredibly grateful for their help, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring veterinary clinic.

Super friendly, honest vet and doctor advisory/care, and a trustworthy team. Can’t recommend this place enough for your pet/dog care. We are so grateful for this practice. We’ve taken our English bulldogs to other / more commercialized practices before, and never again after finding this gem. We appreciate the trustworthy advisory, and not being overcharged for silly recommendations. Love this place!

This vet office this the best! The staff is so friendly and does an amazing job! They take great care of my pets!

The vet hospital is PAWS DOWN the BEST! I started bringing my Tibetan Mastiff, Bella, to this hospital back in about 2010, and they were PAWMAZING!!! My TM was very reactive, and this clinic truly went above and beyond to make sure that everyone involved stayed safe and relaxed. Dr. Sweeley is one of the most experienced veterinarians in the Indianapolis Metro area, and I cannot say enough good things about their practice manager, Kayla. They are both absolutely PAWESOME!

This vet and his staff truly care about the well-being of pets.

Dr Sweeley and his team are so amazing!! You can tell he cares about animals so much. He gave me very useful strategies and advice to help my cat maintain his health. I was very grateful for how patient he was with all my questions. Check in and check out were very efficient and everyone is so nice and kind. They're a one-of-a-kind clinic, I'm glad I found them to take care of my cat!

Dr. Sweeley and the team at Carmel Clay Animal Hospital are the most empathetic and kindhearted individuals. I've been taking my elderly dog and spicy cat to them for couple years now, and it's night and day to the treatment our animals had at our previous vet. I trust them whole heartedly with the care of my furbabies.

This has been my family's vet for years and has always provided amazing care for our pets and unmatched customer service. Would recommend them to any pet owner!

They care for each animal as though it's their own! Friendly, highly knowledgeable staff & affordable, no hidden fee pricing. Dr. Sweeley is very down to earth & so patient! He has an excellent bedside manner & calm reasoning when I question every little thing!

They helped me with paperwork for bringing my dog in an air plane. Granted the airline didn't require this, I didn't know. Anyways, they were very nice and courteous, if I lived in the area I would take my dog to them.

My pets have always been well taken care of here! The staff is very friendly!

I am writing this as a warning. We have been going to Dr. Sweeney for 10 years and have been lucky enough to have very healthy dogs but our beloved dog started throwing up and, to make a very long story short, we were told he had an inflamed liver and pancreas and the treatment was special food and to wait. 48 hours later our dog was in severe pain and because it was Sunday we took him to the VCA Hospital. He had missive internal bleeding and we had to put him down. When I called the staff they had no compassion and no sympathy. Where is their humanity? I was treated like I didn't know my dog and that I was overexaggerating. My heart is shattered and there are no words to express my grief.

This is the first time I have reviewed on google and I am doing so as a warning to anyone considering this veterinary office. The office staff has become very unprofessional in recent years to the extent that we have been unable to receive adequate attention to our elderly dog's care.
