We create customized preventive care plans based on your pet's age, breed, and lifestyle. These checkups include parasite screening and vaccination recommendations to maintain optimal health throughout your pet's life.

We provide core and lifestyle-based vaccines tailored to your pet's specific needs. Our vaccination protocols follow AAHA guidelines while considering individual risk factors. This essential preventive care protects against deadly viruses while minimizing unnecessary immunizations through personalized risk assessments.

Report
This animal clinic is by far the BEST I have ever been to. I would recommend going here to everyone! The staff was absolutely amazing, caring and just went above and beyond when I took my cat in this morning. My cat Charles lost the ability to use his legs this morning and I rushed him to the nearest animal hospital, which was this one. They immediately took him back and hooked him up to oxygen and and IV, no questions asked.
They explained everything to me in terms that I could understand. He ended up having to be put to sleep, and we were so sad, but they made both my cat and myself as comfortable as possible, gave me all the time I needed to say goodbye and even gave me a water to drink. I want to say thank you to all of their amazing staff! THANK YOU!

BRAC is such a great vet and we regularly refer them for our Indy clients. They are a large multifaceted practice and truly are animal lovers. Great office staff, too!

While I've only been going to BRAC for a short time, I can tell they truly care about their clients. I had started going there because they had been well rated and close - now I drive in from Greenwood because I know why they're well rated. Worth the drive, every time. I know my pets are well taken care of here.
