Veterinary Services
Through modern veterinary medicine, expanded treatment options, and a compassionate, individualized approach, our goal is to help your pet live a happy, healthy life by your side.
From their first visit through their senior years, we’re here for every stage—and we’ll love your pets like our own along the way.
Diagnostics
It is difficult to see your pet in pain or suffering and not know what’s wrong. Our team provides state of the art in house diagnostics to help us learn what’s wrong and provide an accurate diagnosis. A quicker diagnosis leads to quicker treatment! We do diagnostic testing both in-house and with an outside lab so we can provide results quickly and accurately.
At Scott County Veterinary Clinic, we have state of the art diagnostic equipment including digital radiology, ultrasound, and in-house Complete Blood Count and Blood Chemistry machines. This equipment allows us to provide a fast, accurate diagnosis so we can help your pet feel better.
Emergency Care
While we hope you don’t need to utilize these resources, it’s important to be prepared. During business hours, please contact us immediately. We do ask that you please call ahead, at 502-863-5548, so that we are prepared to take care of your pet as soon as you walk in our doors!
If you have an emergency outside of our business hours, we recommend that you call MedVet Emergency Clinic at 859-276-2505 or Bluegrass Veterinary Specialists at 859-268-7604.
Exams & Consultations
Not every visit begins with routine wellness care. Sometimes your pet has a new concern, you’re looking for another perspective, or you simply need time with a veterinarian to better understand your options. Our doctors provide comprehensive examinations and consultations for new or ongoing health concerns, second opinions, dental and oral surgery needs, acupuncture, and more.
During your visit, we’ll review your pet’s history, listen to your concerns, perform an appropriate examination, and discuss recommendations tailored to your pet and your family. Whether you’re seeking answers for a new problem, navigating a more complex condition, or exploring additional treatment options, our goal is to help you feel informed and confident about the next steps in your pet’s care.
Why Does My Pet Need to Be Seen?
Just like your own doctor needs to see you regularly to safely provide medical care, veterinarians are legally required to maintain a current relationship with their patients. This is called a Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship, or VCPR.
In Kentucky, maintaining that relationship generally requires your veterinarian to have examined your pet recently enough to be familiar with their current health and medical needs. This is why there may be times when we cannot diagnose a new concern, recommend treatment, or prescribe or refill certain medications based only on a phone call, text, or photograph, even when we have cared for your pet in the past.
We know it can sometimes feel inconvenient to schedule an examination when you simply need a question answered or a medication refilled. These requirements are there to help ensure that veterinary recommendations are based on current, firsthand knowledge of your pet’s health and that medications and treatments can be provided safely and appropriately.
Keeping your pet’s annual visits current helps maintain their VCPR and, most importantly, helps our team be ready to provide the care they need when something unexpected comes up.
Microchipping
About 1 in 3 pets will go missing in their lifetime. Microchipping your pets is a great way to help lower this number!
The chance of being reunited with a lost pet increases greatly if they’re microchipped. Microchipping can offer reassurance that, if lost, animal shelters and veterinarians can identify your pet. A tiny microchip is placed under the skin between your pet’s shoulder blades. The microchip has an identification number on it, which can be read by a scanner. A veterinarian’s office or animal shelter can scan the chip to find out who owns the animal.
Nutritional Counseling
An estimated 59% of cats and 54% of dogs in the United States are overweight or obese. Good nutrition and weight management are key to your pet’s overall health. These healthy habits are created at a young age for your pet and it’s up to you to help them maintain these habits. Through a good diet and proper exercise, you greatly increase your pet’s chance at a long, healthy life.
Acupuncture
Scott County Veterinary Clinic is proud to offer Traditional Chinese Veterinary Acupuncture (TCVA) with Dr. Karen Young as part of our comprehensive approach to patient care. Used alongside modern veterinary medicine, acupuncture provides a gentle, evidence-informed therapy that may help improve comfort, mobility, healing, and overall quality of life. It can benefit pets experiencing arthritis, chronic pain, neurologic conditions, mobility challenges, and recovery from injury or surgery. Every treatment plan is personalized to your pet’s unique needs, combining the best of traditional healing with today’s advanced veterinary care to help your companion feel their very best.
Pharmacy
Whether your pet is in need of a prescription medication or diet, you won’t have to go far. Our in-house pharmacy allows you to fill your pet’s prescriptions during your appointment so you don’t have to spend time waiting.
For your convenience, we also have an online pharmacy. We have many foods, long term medications, flea prevention medications, and heartworm prevention medications available to be shipped directly to your door.
Preventative Medicine
Preventive Medicine & Wellness Care
Some of the most important care we provide happens before your pet ever becomes sick. Preventive medicine begins during those first puppy and kitten visits and continues throughout every stage of life, helping us protect your pet’s health, recognize changes early, and keep them feeling their best for as many years as possible.
Routine wellness exams give our veterinary team an opportunity to get to know what is normal for your pet. During each visit, we’ll review their medical history, discuss any changes or concerns, perform a comprehensive physical examination, and recommend vaccinations, diagnostic testing, blood work, or other preventive care based on their age, lifestyle, and individual needs. As pets enter their senior years, regular examinations and laboratory screening become especially valuable for identifying changes that may not yet be visible at home.
Surgery
Our team is highly skilled and experienced in performing a wide variety of pet surgeries using modern techniques, cutting edge equipment and always adhering to the strictest standards of safety and care. You can feel confident that when it comes to surgery, your loved one will be in excellent hands with our team!
We want to ensure both you and your pet feel comfortable before, during, and after a surgical procedure. The Scott County Veterinary Clinic team uses the best technology and our experienced team is here to answer any questions you may have. We will communicate with you during every step of the process, providing thorough updates for you before and after the procedure.
Vaccinations
The Scott County Veterinary Clinic team is here to keep your pets protected! Many of the diseases that can affect dogs and cats are preventable through proper vaccinations. Let our knowledgeable team guide you through setting up a vaccination schedule for your dog or cat to keep him or her protected.
Each pet may receive different vaccine schedules, as our team will ensure your pet is assessed as an individual with their needs being met. Factors we take into consideration include age, breed, time of year, and location.
Parasite Prevention
Year-Round Parasite Protection Made Easier
Fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites can cause much more than an inconvenience! They can transmit disease and lead to serious health concerns. Our team will help you build a parasite prevention plan tailored to your pet and lifestyle, with convenient options that make staying protected easier.
We’re proud to offer Bravecto Quantum, an injectable flea and tick preventive for dogs that provides a full year of protection with a single injection. It has been an exciting addition to our preventive care options, giving many SCVC families the convenience of reliable protection without having to remember monthly doses or keep up with multiple chewable treatments throughout the year. In addition, we also still stock many monthly preventatives to ensure every family has solutions that fit their needs best.
We also offer ProHeart 12, an extended-release injection for eligible dogs 12 months of age and older that provides 12 months of heartworm prevention in a single dose.
Dentistry
Veterinary Dentistry & Oral Surgery
Your pet’s oral health plays an important role in their overall health, comfort, and quality of life. With Dr. Hubert’s special interest and advanced experience in veterinary dentistry and oral surgery, SCVC is proud to offer comprehensive dental care ranging from preventive cleanings to advanced oral procedures.
Our dentistry and oral surgery services include digital dental radiography, professional dental cleanings, surgical extractions, root planing, periodontal treatment, and tooth-sealing techniques designed to preserve teeth and avoid extraction when possible. Dental radiographs allow our team to evaluate disease and abnormalities below the gumline, helping us identify sources of pain that may otherwise go unseen and develop an individualized treatment plan for each patient.
From routine preventive care to more complex oral surgery, our goal is to relieve pain, preserve healthy teeth whenever possible, and protect your pet’s overall health and quality of life.
Walk-Ins
There are times when you may not be able to schedule an appointment, and we understand that. In those cases, we welcome you and your pet to visit us on a walk-in basis.
Appointments are always preferred and will take precedence over walk-ins, but we realize the importance of having this option with people’s busy schedules.
