About Advanced Animal Care & Our Lexington Connection
At Advanced Animal Care, we’re happy to help pets and their people across the Lexington and Richmond area from our clinic in Richmond, KY—just a 20-minute drive from downtown Lexington. We offer 24/7 emergency care and general veterinary services for families in Central Kentucky, including Berea and Lexington neighborhoods.
Lexington, known as the Horse Capital of the World, is full of rolling horse farms, historic sites, and warm southern hospitality. You can take your dog for a walk at Masterson Station Dog Park or relax on the patio at West Sixth Brewery. Pets are welcome everywhere here—from the Kentucky Horse Park to many dog-friendly trails and events.
We’re more than a vet clinic—we’re your neighbors. Whether we’re treating a dog who ate grapes in our ER or giving a kitten its first vaccines, we’re here for every wag, purr, and pounce. From downtown Lexington to the paths of Legacy Park, we love being part of a community that loves pets as much as we do.
