  • This is the first time visiting Commonwealth, it was great! Everyone is so attentive and wanted to make Candy feel better as soon as possible. The doctor listened to all of our concerns and answered every question that we had. I will bring Candy back here if we have another problem when we are in Kentucky!

  • I took my lab in with skin issues. Everyone did a great job and not even a week later my June is acting like her old self. Very thankful for the staff at Commonwealth. I will not take my pets any where else.

  • We have been clients for over twenty years, and I trust Commonwealth Animal Hospital wholeheartedly with my Golden retrievers. They have celebrated with me with the birth of pups, and they have cried with me when I have lost a fur baby. The care and expertise they have provided is second to none and is the reason I have traveled from Lexington and Nicholasville to get to them all these years. I highly recommend CAH. I trust them with my pups lives and I don’t do that with just anyone.

    - Brian G.
  • I love Commonwealth Animal Hospital and the people who work there. The staff and doctors go above and beyond to make our visit as comfortable as possible. Our two dogs, Breannna and Sueanna do not get nervous when they go. The doctors are so kind and very knowledgeable! I would recommend Commonwealth Animal Hospital to anyone who is looking for a great place to take their pets!

  • Making an appointment online was very convenient as Benji’s problem worsened after the office was closed. The visit the next day was great from the receptionist, to the vet tech assessment, and then, of course Dr. Bosse’s excellent treatment of Benji.
