A Culture of Compassion, Excellence, and Family

At Advanced Animal Care, culture isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the heartbeat of who we are. As a family-owned practice rooted in Central Kentucky, we’ve built a workplace where pets, clients, and team members are treated like family.

Our Values

At the center of everything we do are four simple values:

  • Teamwork - Have each other's back
  • Respectful Communication - Knowing what to say and how to say it
  • Do Unto Others - Treat others the way you would want to be treated
  • Positive Solution Based Work Environment - Doesn't find problems, finds answers
  • Commitment to Growth and Best Medicine - Dedication to increasing skills and knowledge

Life at Advanced Animal Care

Working at AAC means more than a job — it’s joining a family. Our team members support one another, celebrate wins together, and lean in during challenges. From our 24/7 emergency hospital to our general practice clinics, we share knowledge, resources, and encouragement across locations to ensure the very best for pets and their owners.

Commitment to Growth

We believe our culture grows stronger when our people grow, too. That’s why we invest in continuing education, mentorship, and professional development. Whether you’re an experienced veterinarian or just beginning your career in animal care, AAC provides opportunities to learn, lead, and thrive.

Rooted in Family, Not Corporate

Unlike corporate chains, AAC remains proudly family-owned and operated. For more than 50 years, the Martin family has guided our hospitals with the same mission Dr. Jim Martin envisioned: advanced medicine delivered with compassion, integrity, and respect.
