Services
Sherlock Bones Animal Hospital is proud to serve Carmel and Northside Indianapolis for everything related to pet health care, wellness, grooming, and more. Our veterinary hospital is owned and operated by Dr. Roger Nix, an experienced and licensed veterinarian. Our Carmel veterinary clinic consistently earns 5-star reviews for the quality of our veterinary care and client services.
At Sherlock Bones Animal Hospital, our goal is keeping your pet happy and healthy. Thanks to modern diagnostics and our on-site laboratory, we're able to do just that for sick and injured pets. Diagnostic imaging allows us to examine your pet's internal organs and body systems to better diagnose their conditions.
A pet's dental health is just as important as their physical health, however, it often goes overlooked. The reality is that oral hygiene plays a huge part in ensuring your pet lives a long, healthy life. Dental disease is a common but serious problem. Approximately 80% of pets will develop it by the time they're three and, if left untreated, it will spread to the tooth socket and destroy bone.

SB Animal Hospital is amazing! I called one morning because my kitten had eaten some non-food items and was super sick. They rushed to fit her in that day (even though she hadn't been in to see them yet; was a new patient). They took care of her, and kept her overnight. They were so kind and gentle with her. After she came home and passed the items, they followed up on her and called again the next week to see how she was doing. They were just wonderful with their service, care, and love for my pet baby!

I am new to Indy and needed a new vet after my furry friend got sick the other day. I was very nervous but they were able to get us an appointment within 48 hours. When I walked in there was a sign with all the names of the patients coming in that day and I saw Moose's name and it made some of my stress wash away instantly. The vet Carolyn and her assistant were so sweet and comforting.
They explained everything they were doing and made Moose feel so comfortable as he tends to be anxious. They took time to listen to me and tell them all about Moose. I left feeling so relieved and informed. I will definitely continue to come back.

I recently moved and decided to try a new vet. I took my mini dachshund to Sherlock Bones and was not disappointed! I didn't think I could love a vet clinic more than the one I have used for both of my pets for years, but I was blessed by the staff at Sherlock Bones! Not only was it easy to schedule an appointment, everyone was amazing and they even followed up on Vienna the following day. Love it!

The vet techs and doctor at Sherlock Bones are awesome! My kitty is doing so much better after just one appointment, when her previous vet gave us no treatment and very little information about her condition and how to help her. They were kind and loving on her the whole appointment, and Dr explained every detail to me. I will be scheduling checkups for my other two cats here as well! Scheduling is easy, they are very responsive to emails, and the price compared to my old vet is great!

My poor pup, Kylo, had a pretty bad cough and no other vets in the Carmel area could see him. Luckily, Sherlock Bones had availability and were able to see him within a few hours of me calling. Both the vet tech and Dr. Nix were WONDERFUL with Ky. They made sure he was comfortable before trying anything with him. I really appreciated their responsiveness and caring attitude!

I just moved to Carmel and gave this place a try with my two cats. Sherlock Bones definitely exceeded my expectations! The check-in process was very efficient and I hardly had to wait for the vet tech or the vet, which was wonderful for my anxious cats! It's very obvious staff genuinely loves cats and this isn't just a job for them! Many vet places try to "nickel and dime" you for tests and services that your pet may not necessarily need, so I greatly appreciate the transparency and honesty with Sherlock Bones. Additionally, they send out text messages checking up on your pet after the visit! Highly recommend!

Another vet refused to anesthetize a dog as old as mine. They also said if they did remove the cyst from his eyelid, he would lose part of the lid. Dr. Nix examined the boy, did blood work, and determined he was healthy enough for surgery. Now the cyst is gone, the eyelid whole if a bit snug, and the teeth clean. We're also using Dr. Nix's formula for aging joints. It's early days, but he is seeming more confident on walks. This is going to be our vet.
