Lexington, KY is full of devoted pet owners—and when your dog or cat needs urgent or emergency care, you want fast answers, experienced hands, and fair pricing. That’s exactly why so many Lexington families are turning to Advanced Animal Care Emergency, just 25–30 minutes down I-75 in Richmond.

We might not be in Lexington city limits, but we serve the Lexington pet community every single day.

What Makes Us Different?

Located in Richmond, Advanced Animal Care Emergency is a full-service 24/7 emergency hospital and weekday urgent care clinic that has two promises: better access and better value.

  • We’re open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for true emergencies—no appointment necessary.

  • We offer Urgent Care Monday–Friday from 8am–4pm, perfect for non-life-threatening but time-sensitive cases at affordable urgent care prices.

  • And unlike many Lexington emergency clinics, we’re often half the cost—without sacrificing the quality of care your pet deserves.

Emergency Care – Always Open

If your pet is in crisis—whether it’s a car accident, toxin ingestion, seizures, or collapse—our emergency team is always ready. We provide:

  • Immediate triage and stabilization

  • Oxygen therapy, IV fluids, and pain relief

  • Emergency surgery

  • 24/7 hospitalization and monitoring

  • Critical care and diagnostics

We also house a CT machine for pets, giving us the ability to diagnose complex internal issues fast—often saving lives when minutes matter.

Weekday Urgent Care – Fast Relief When It Can’t Wait

Not every concern is a full-blown emergency. But when your pet suddenly develops an ear infection, starts limping, or has diarrhea that won't stop, waiting a week for your primary vet isn't an option. That’s where our Urgent Care comes in.

Our team can help with:

  • Minor wounds, limping, and ear infections

  • Eye or skin issues

  • Vomiting or diarrhea (without lethargy)

  • Coughing, sneezing, and urinary concerns

  • Ingestion of mild foreign objects

  • Sudden behavior or appetite changes

And if it turns out to be more serious? We can immediately escalate to emergency care—no transfers needed.

Veterinary care in Lexington—especially emergency care—can get expensive fast. Our pricing is consistently 30–50% lower than other ER clinics in the city. We believe great veterinary medicine should be accessible, especially when your pet’s life may depend on it.
