Carter Veterinary Medical Center

Wonderful, friendly, kind and professional.

great always friendly and care for me and Max very well

They are very sweet to my animals and kind to myself. Carter and the other 2 vets he has with him are fabulous.

We've been using them for about three years.

They're very nice and easy to work with. The vet interacts very good with the pets.

It was nice. Not too fancy, but clean and organized.

Great for emergency visits, nails, and annual check ups. Staff and Vets are outstanding, loving and helpful.

Used 4 months ago. Have used them for 20 years. It was for everything, flea, heart worm, vaccines, so the price was probably pretty good. I would tell friends to go here.

The essential VET if you care and love your pet. My 85-year-old mother had to have teeth removed from her Italian Greyhound. Most of the bleeding stopped, but one tooth continued to bleed. Dr. Carter ran tests and all kinds of screening panels. He even called a VET INTERNIST to go over everything. As it turns out, the infection in the one tooth was much deeper than anyone could have anticipated. He gave him antibiotics, re-packed the tooth in question, and kept him overnight. HE went above and beyond anything you would expect a medical professional to do. The next morning he spoke with my mom 3 times and with me once to assure us that everything was fixed and MarcoPolo (her dog) was eating and could go home. The entire staff, from the folks who answer the phones on up to Dr. Carter himself have always been concerned, knowledgeable and courteous. His practice, on a scale of 1-10, is an 11. Thank you for caring so much. Without her dog, my elderly mother would likely go into a decline in her own health.

I have taken my cats there for several years. We have visited to clear infections , recieve vaccinations, control thyroid disease and other reasons. Dr. Carter is extremely thorough, caring, updated on the new medicine and procedures, educates you in a way the client can understand and is so gentle with the animals. He's amazing and produces great results.

Great. Priced appropriately. Dr's Carter and Clayton and staff are always caring, responsive, kind and loving to our pets.

I take Max to Carter all the time. All the Doctors and staff there are wonderful, just wonderful. They treat both Max and I with tender loving care.

I love my veterinarians. I've been using them for the last seven years. He has also been my vet from when I was a child. The staff is excellent and are happy to answer anyone's questions. The vets are very patient and very communicative in exploring in explaining things about your dog.

We like our veterinarian. I've been using them for 20-25 years. I just like the way they treat the animals and the way they treat me.

Dr. Clayton and all of the staff are absolutely wonderful. They are knowledgeable, caring, and very responsive when you have a pet emergency. Dr. Clayton takes time to answer all of my questions thoroughly. He is very experienced and stays current on practices. He also does not push one-size-fits-all solutions. Dr. Clayton always works with us to determine the treatments that work best for our dogs and us. He is also very conscientious of price - never pushes extra or unnecessary tests. Can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Clayton and Carter Vet.

We have been using them since 2006. They fit you in if you have an emergency and they take their time. They are knowledgeable and friendly. The office is clean and the staff is friendly.

We have been using Carter Veterinary Center for over 25 years. We primarily see Dr. Clayton. Dr. Clayton is very skilled, caring and knowledgable. He takes the time to listen to concerns and provides thorough examinations when presenting treatment options. He genuinely cares about the animals. He provides his clients with education and also takes the time to make sure treatment options, costs and expected outcomes are understood. He doesn't prescribe diagnostic testing, lab work etc unless the results will impact the treatment plan. He works in partnership with his clients. I do not know of any other veterinarian who compares to the quality of care and expertise of Dr. Clayton. All the veterinarians in this office are excellant. All of the staff is friendly and caring and do their very best to make sure my dogs get the care they need.

They are great. They are so very nice and understanding and reasonably priced. I highly recommend them.

We were new in town and did not yet have a vet for our two poodles. Our 5 lb poodle, Beau, developed a hot spot from a Saturday grooming visit where the clippers got to close to his sanitary area. By Sunday night, he was really miserable and whining a lot from pain. The neighbors recommended their vet. I called Carter Veterinary Monday morning and they said they would work us in if we came on over. I only waited 5 minutes before they got us back to a room. Dr. Carter came in and took care of our poodle Beau very well. He received a long acting (2 weeks) shot of cortisone and antibiotic. Dr. said he expected Beau to be leaving the area alone within 3 days. Sure enough, by the third day, he had gotten major relief, was leaving the area alone and it was drying up and healing quite nicely. I was so impressed that I signed up as a regular client and brought our other 9 lb. poodle in for her annual check up and vaccinations a couple of weeks later. Dr. Carter did that exam as well and I was quite pleased with his re-pore with her. Both dogs felt comfortable with him and were not fearful or anxious.

I’ve been very pleased with the vets at this office. We also have our dogs groomed here. It’s very convenient. When they go to get groomed, they can get their annual check-up and shots.

All the doctors there are wonderful. Unfortunately, one of my yorkies had been sick and wasn't eating, so a couple days after her not getting better i took her to Carter VMC. After lots of testing, we found out she had a fatal but treatable disease, which had already destroyed 75% of her kidney. Dr Graham worked with Lola mostly, and spent a lot of time testing her and bringing her back to good health. Lola was only 2 years old, and thanks to Dr Graham she is healthy and happy and alive. We take both of our yorkies there for shots and after going several places, we wouldn't go anywhere else but here!

We've gone to Carter Veterinary at 136th and Meridian for over 23 years and they are terrific. We've used them for routine care of our dogs and cat as well as more urgent care. They are very caring and gentle with our pets and you can just tell that they love animals. They explain situations thoroughly and take their time with us. I highly recommend them.

He has treated all of my cats extremely professionally and he is just a great man on friday I had to uthinize one of my cats on my last visit and his staff and himself were wonderful to me I would recommend them highly.

Dr. Clayton and Carter supported us long distance (we were in Florida when it was discovered) and worked with us for almost two years as we tried different treatments to keep him comfortable. Great support.

I have been using Carter Veterinary for many years. I have taken my dogs there for nearly all of their medical needs and primarily see Dr. Clayton. For a couple of years I lived in Bloomington and still drove up to Carmel when my dogs needed vet care because they are just that amazing. The staff are always friendly and courteous and they seem to have very low staff turnover. The veterinarians are all excellent. Dr. Clayton truly takes his profession seriously. He attends veterinary conferences to keep up-to-date on the latest research and standards of practice. He discusses these things with me when I am there for appointments. He takes the time to listen to concerns, thoroughly examine his patients, and puzzle things through. He has taken symptom information and come up with conclusions about what might be wrong that prove he is amazingly intelligent and dedicated. He also takes the time to try to find a treatment plan that will be the lowest possible cost, including suggesting pharmacies where you can get prescriptions for free or $4 and being very honest about whether tests are really necessary or not. I feel that he and I are a partnership in my dogs' health care, rather than like he is just telling me what is going to happen. He always remembers my dogs and reviews their charts before or during appointments. I wish I could find a doctor for myself that is as knowledgeable and caring and has as good of bedside manner as Dr. Clayton. I have also had my dogs in to see Dr. Carter and Dr. Graham when need arose that didn't allow for waiting for an opening with Dr. Clayton. Both have been thorough, honest, and good at explaining what is needed. My dogs are seniors now and I have greatly appreciated the care that Dr. Clayton and the rest of the staff at Carter Vet have provided for them over the years. As my dogs get older and their medical needs get more complicated, I trust that they will receive the absolute best care available anywhere at Carter Veterinary. I started taking them there on a recommendation from a friend and I take the opportunity to recommend them to everyone I know who has pets. I've spoken with friends who have used other vets in the area and had used a couple myself before finding Carter Vet and no other place that I'm aware of compares on cost, quality of care, and expertise of veterinarians.
