About Brookville Road Animal Hospital
Compassionate Care, Collaborative Medicine
At Brookville Road Animal Hospital, we’re more than a veterinary clinic — we’re a team of passionate professionals dedicated to improving the lives of pets and their families across Indianapolis, IN. Since opening our doors in 1972, our privately owned hospital has grown from a small local practice into a thriving, multi-doctor team known for its expertise, compassion, and commitment to teamwork.
Our Story
Brookville Road Animal Hospital began as a mixed-animal practice serving pets and farm animals alike. Over the years, the clinic evolved to focus exclusively on small animals, expanding both its services and its facility to meet the growing needs of our community.
In 2013, Dr. Earl Dryden and Dr. Joe Leeth joined Brookville Road Animal Hospital. This new partnership allowed us to offer advanced surgical expertise through Dr. Dryden — trained directly under the mentorship of renowned surgeon Dr. Timothy Lee — and enhanced diagnostic capabilities through Dr. Leeth’s in-house laboratory and clinical pathology services. Together, these clinicians ushered in a new era of specialized veterinary care at Brookville Road Animal Hospital.
Our growth continued in 2021 when we merged with Dr. Juan Pagan’s practice, Crestview Animal Hospital, and welcomed Dr. Pagan as a new partner. Dr. Clayton Carr later joined the ownership team by becoming a partner in 2022. Since 2013, our veterinary team has expanded from three doctors to eleven. Each doctor brings unique skills and experience, allowing us to provide a wide and ever-expanding range of services.
We are currently developing plans for a new two-story facility that will house our general practice, advanced imaging, and rehabilitation services, while the current location will be converted into a dedicated center for general and advanced referral surgical procedures. This expansion reflects our ongoing mission: to deliver exceptional, comprehensive veterinary care through innovation, collaboration, and a dedication to the well-being of every patient we serve.
What Sets Us Apart
We’re proud to remain independently owned, giving our doctors the freedom to practice the kind of medicine they believe is best for every patient. Collaboration is at the core of everything we do — our veterinarians regularly consult one another, share insights, and work together to ensure each pet receives the highest standard of care.
We also believe that cost should never stand in the way of treatment. Through our Veterinary Care Foundation Fund, we’re able to help pets in need access life-saving care when financial hardship would otherwise make it impossible.
Our Philosophy
At Brookville Road Animal Hospital, our goal is simple:
Treat every patient as we would our own pets.
That means providing thorough, high-quality medical care while supporting and educating pet owners every step of the way. Whether your companion needs a routine check-up or advanced surgery, you can trust our team to deliver care that’s compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your pet’s unique needs.
