Dr. Reed kept me informed of the care my cat was receiving. He was scheduled for a neuter surgery but she didn't feel as though he was well enough to receive the surgery, and she was correct his WBC count was elevated. Thank you Helmwood Veterinary Clinic for caring for my Oscar like he was your own pet.

Take our two dogs to Helmwood for care and grooming. Always a great experience with Dr. Reed. You can tell that she cares and is thorough with diagnosing health concerns. The dogs are happy excited when they see her and that speaks volumes. Grooming with Rachel is awesome. She listens to what we want and sends texts throughout the grooming process so we know how they are doing. Our female pup is a cranky older girl and she just melts when she sees Rachel for her spa day. Very professional and friendly group!

I have been taking my dog Bear here for almost 3 years now. I think they are amazing. The staff is always so kind and have always helped and answered any questions or concerns I've had for my dog. If you leave a message to call back they do so quickly. I absolutely 110% recommend!

Although this is my regular vet my fur baby had to be seen on an emergency basis this latest visit. Every single Vet and staff member at Helmwood is incredible. I was extremely upset and scared to to point of not being able to focus. But they took wonderful care of Oliver and he was able to return home later that same day on the mend! I love Helmwood!

Everyone was very efficient and professional. The doctor came out after my pet's visit and took her time explaining things. She even came back out to the car to explain the bill. Will definitely make this Clinic my permanent place to go for my pet. Thank you everyone at Helmwood. :

I was visiting from another state and needed a vet for my boy and happened to drive by and see this place, so glad I did. I called they saw me the next day everyone was great! My boy got all the care attention he deserves I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves their animals!

Imagine dropping your children off at daycare and when you arrive to pick them up the daycare is closed and no one let you know and you have no way to know if your kids are being taken care of. I have been coming here for years and the staff has always been amazing. I went on a weekend trip and was supposed to pick my dogs up on Monday and when I arrived they were closed.

I was not contacted in anyway to let me know I would not be able to pick them up I called and the voice-mail said they were closed due to weather and bad road conditions. I drove all the way from Louisville to etown and the roads were fine. I understand safety issues but this is unexceptable.

Pulled up, text the number on the sign to let them know I am outside - they immediately come outside and hand me paperwork, take my dog back and talk to me about a puppy plan for the year! At the end of the visit Dr. Reed come out to my car and talked over the appt with me and then I was on my way! Super fast, professional and just an overall great experience! I was referred here and couldnt be happier that I followed through!

They do great care for my pets and are always very friendly. BUT they have a terrible habit of charging my card on file when they shouldn't. I paid off my paw plan balances, yet was still charged almost $100 for the payments and it isn't the first time it's happened either. Very disappointing and a big inconvenience when you needed that money for gas and lunch for work.

My dog has been having ear problems for over about two years now. I went to two other vets, but nothing was helping so I wanted to get another opinion. Dr. Howell is the best vet I’ve been to! She took the time to examine Lily completely, not only helping with her ears, but with other things that I didn’t even know was a problem until now. She took the time to explain all of the different options we had to help Lily get better, and took her time answering all of my questions. The staff was so sweet too!

Helmwood Vet has been a blessing to my babes. I love being able to make an appointment, but also have had amazing service with emergency and after hour care. Ive had vets give me their personal cell number just in case I’ve needed them after hours. They are efficient, kind, and exactly they type of people I’d want handling my dogs while I can’t be with them. Highly recommend!

Best vet office I've ever been used for my pets! they definitely go above and beyond! I'm very thankful for the lady whom is dropping pain medication off at my house for my pup who got hurt. my husband tested positive for colvid and is in the hospital but im home in quarantine and can't leave nor have any family locally. I highly recommend this office!

I love bringing our dog gusty here!! Everyone is so great! Gusty not only gets his medical treatments here, usually by dr Reed, but all are great!! He gets groomed here by Lisa, who is fantastic, btw! We also board him here when we need too. All the staff is so great with animals! Which helps alot, because our miniature schnauzer, is always nervous going there. I highly recommend this clinic!
