View Larger Map

Fleas and ticks can quickly become a serious problem for Brownsburg-area pets during our warm spring, summer and autumn months.

The fleas you see on your pet account for only 15 to 25 percent of the total population. The remaining 75 to 85 percent are larvae, pupae and eggs that have fallen off your pet onto your furniture and carpets.

By far, the best approach is to start your pet on a flea and tick preventive before an infestation takes hold and to maintain the protection year-round.

Fortunately, there are a number of new products now on the market that are easier to administer and provide greater protection from more of these pests than ever before. We stock the best of them in our pharmacy.

In our climate, heartworm disease is a year-round threat for all dogs and cats in our care. Spread by mosquitoes, heartworms are difficult to treat and potentially deadly. Fortunately, regularly administered heartworm preventives reduce the threat of heartworms to near zero.

What is a Heartworm?

Heartworm disease is caused by a parasitic worm called Dirofilaria immitis. Once transmitted to a pet by a mosquito, heartworms mature into adults, mate and produce offspring while living inside the infected animal. The worms are called “heartworms” because the adults live in the heart, lungs and associated blood vessels.

Heartworm Preventives

Most commonly-used heartworm preventives come in tablet form, with the monthly dosage based on the pet’s body weight.

The preventive works by killing any heartworm larvae that may be present in your pet’s body from a mosquito bite that occurred since you administered the preventive the previous month.  The active ingredients do not stay in your pet’s bloodstream for the 30 days between doses, but the monthly dose prevents any heartworm larvae from reaching adulthood because it takes longer than a month for the larvae to mature.

Preventives do not kill adult heartworms already present.

Required Testing

You can purchase heartworm preventives only by prescription from a veterinarian, and the prescription can be written or renewed only after a blood test to confirm your pet does not have an active infection of heartworms. Pets already infected with heartworms who receive preventive can have severe, life-threatening reactions to the dying, circulating larvae in their bloodstreams. That’s why the doctors at Brownsburg Animal Clinic will not prescribe or renew a prescription for heartworm preventives without a test.

Often, active heartworm infections in animals on preventive happen when the owner forgets a dose or runs out for a month or two. Even clients who faithfully administer the preventive can unknowingly miss a dose if their pet spits out the pill or vomits it up in the yard. Testing at least once a year, or at any time you want to resume using preventives after one or more missed doses, is the best way to minimize risk and provide the best care for your pet.

Year-Round Protection

In our climate, mosquitoes are much more numerous during the spring, summer and fall than in winter, but any time we experience unseasonably warm temperatures, mosquitoes can appear right here in Brownsburg during the winter months, too.

Because of these unpredictable seasonal temperature changes, the American Heartworm Society now recommends year-round prevention in every state. We strongly recommend year-round protection for Brownsburg-area pets, too.

As an added benefit, some heartworm preventives help control other parasites, such as fleas, mites, ticks, roundworms, hookworms and whipworms. Talk to your veterinarian about the available options and guidance in selecting the best product for your pet.

We are happy to report numerous recent advances in pain management for pets, including surgical procedures we can perform to correct painful injuries and structural problems as well as drugs we can prescribe to relieve arthritis pain common to senior pets.

If you believe your pet is in pain, we encourage you to schedule an appointment for an examination. The chances are better than ever we can identify the source of the problem and recommend one or more promising solutions to improve your pet’s comfort and quality of life.

As strong advocates of keeping pets healthy and whenever possible, heading off problems before they begin, we strongly recommend annual wellness check-ups for all patients during the first seven years of life.

To get your new puppy or kitten off to a good start, we conduct a thorough physical exam and worm check on your first visit. When you return for booster vaccines and a heartworm check, we provide a physical exam, too, and we encourage you to continue with annual exams to keep your pet healthy for life.

We recommend twice-yearly wellness exams and appropriate health screening tests for patients seven years old and older. These screening tests for aging pets help us detect many common diseases in their earliest stages and offer you and your pet the best possible chances for enjoying a long, healthy life together.

In addition to wellness examinations and health screening tests, we provide these veterinary services to dogs and cats at all life stages:

• Preventive medicine and vaccinations
• Internal medicine—cardiology, endocrinology, ophthalmology
• General surgery—orthopedics, tumor removal, spay/neuter
• Dentistry—teeth cleaning, oral surgery
• Microchipping and scanning
• Laboratory—diagnostic and health screening tests
• Radiology—x-rays, diagnostic contrast procedures
• Pharmacy—prescription drugs, parasite prevention and control products, nutrition supplements, other pet health care products
• Nutrition Counseling—life stage and prescription diets
• Behavior Counseling—house training, behavior modification, referrals
• Nail trims and anal gland expression

Should your pet become ill or injured, we take special care to make an accurate diagnosis–the critical first step in successful management or treatment.

After diagnosis, we explain your pet’s problem to you in detail, as well as the pros and cons of the various treatment options, so you can make an informed decision about how you’d like us to proceed.

Should your pet require surgery, we use only the safest anesthetics and monitor your pet closely according to the highest standards of veterinary care.

Our goal is to help you and your pet enjoy a happy, healthy life together for as long as possible.

Specialized Care

We maintain working relationships with a number of qualified veterinary specialists in the greater Indianapolis area. Should your pet require specialized care, we are happy to refer you to a qualified colleague.

Emergency Care

If your pet experiences a medical emergency during our office hours, call our office immediately. We may ask you to bring your pet to the clinic right away, or we may recommend going straight to an emergency clinic. Whether we see you or refer you out depends on the nature of the emergency, the potential treatment needed, how busy we already are that day, and the hours to closing.

We understand these referrals can be upsetting to clients who are worried about their pet’s condition and depending on us to provide the necessary care.  Be assured, our first and foremost concern is always to see that our patients receive the care they need in the timeliest manner.

Daytime and after-hours emergency clinics are listed in the right sidebar on all pages of our site.

Recent advances in veterinary medicine have caused us to change the types and frequency of vaccines we recommend. We have stocked up on the newest vaccines and are implementing the new, improved vaccine protocols at Brownsburg Animal Clinic immediately.

Once we complete the series of scheduled puppy and kitten vaccinations so critical to developing immunity during the first year, we now advise boosters every three years for many of the vaccines we used to recommend annually. (We still recommend annual boosters for some vaccines.)

In addition to saving you money, these new protocols using the newer, longer-lasting vaccines, spare your pet from receiving unnecessary shots.

For much more information about vaccines, see our blog post, “Essential Vaccines to Protect Your Pet.”

Our pharmacy and storage area are always freshly stocked with the drugs, health care products and premium-quality prescription foods we find most effective and most often recommend.

We carry Science Diet Prescription diets for dogs and cats, Dr. Brady’s prescription pet food of choice for her own and her clients’ pets since her days as a veterinary student representative for the company. As a Science Diet rep, she toured the production facilities and received a complete education in how the various diets are formulated to address specific nutritional needs of pets based on life stage or condition.

We stock numerous vitamins and nutrition supplements, including glucosamine and fatty acid capsules.

Grooming products we offer include dental care products, medicated ear cleaning solutions and the medicated shampoos and conditioners we have found most effective.

Additional products are available in our online store.

Thank you for choosing Brownsburg Animal Clinic. We welcome you and your pet to our practice!

We are deeply committed to building a healthy, happy relationship with you as we provide the veterinary care your dog or cat needs throughout its life.

Our Best Client Relationships

We have found our best client relationships are characterized by mutual trust, respect and civility shared among all members of the client’s household and all our team members.

Our clients rightfully expect us to provide sound, up-to-date medical advice and treatment options. We, in turn, expect our advice and recommendations to be seriously considered and, whenever possible, heeded.

We encourage open communication with our clients and do our best to answer questions and address concerns with understanding and compassion.

As a general rule, our veterinarians and technicians are unable to diagnose or offer medical advice specific to a particular pet without examining the pet in our clinic. We expect our clients to schedule diagnostic exams and tests when the veterinarian says they’re needed. We also expect clients to follow our recommendations for ongoing preventive or wellness care.

We recognize that the cost of veterinary care is a concern for just about everybody, and we do our best to recommend only essential tests and treatments. We provide written estimates of the costs of any proposed tests for your approval before proceeding, and we are happy to explore with you the pros and cons of possible testing and treatment options so you can make an informed decision about your pet’s care.

Our Least Successful Client Relationships

We’ve found our least successful relationships have been with clients who:

• Fail to heed our Abusive Client Policy
• Refuse to follow our policy for rabies vaccinations
• Insist that we prescribe medicines and/or approve refills without a timely exam and appropriate tests to confirm the medicine is safe to administer and, in the veterinarian’s professional opinion, the best treatment option
• Insist that we perform procedures we consider unethical and inhumane, such as declawing cats and cosmetic surgical alterations like tail docking and ear cropping for dogs
• Have a dangerously aggressive pet we are unable to control safely

In these situations, after due consideration of the individual circumstances, we most often choose to refer the client, as well as all family members and pets living in the client’s household, to another practice.

At Brownsburg Animal Clinic, we deeply appreciate the trust you place in us when you ask us to care for your pet.

From the time she was six years old, Timea Brady knew she wanted to be a veterinarian.

She’d grown up with many pets, including hamsters, guinea pigs, finches, cats and dogs, but as a first-grader, when she began riding horses and participating in dressage, she knew she was destined for a career caring for animals.

During her years at Harrison High in Lafayette, Dr. Brady’s interest in genetics and molecular biology inspired dreams of a career in research, but after spending her first two years as an undergraduate in Purdue University’s molecular biology laboratories, she knew something was missing.

During her junior year, as a volunteer helping rehabilitate injured and orphaned wildlife at the Wildcat Wildlife Center, Dr. Brady realized as much as she loved research, it was the hands-on treatment and interaction with animals and people that she found most rewarding.

After finishing her Bachelor of Science degree in molecular biology, with a minor in animal science, Dr. Brady enrolled at Purdue’s School of Veterinary Medicine, spending her summers doing research to trace the transmission of salmonella in hospitalized horses and find better ways to prevent potentially fatal salmonella outbreaks.

Upon completing her veterinary degree in 2005, Dr. Brady and her husband Ryan moved to Brownsburg and for the next four years, she worked as an associate veterinarian at a small animal hospital on the west side of Indianapolis.

While gaining practical experience and honing her skills as a small animal practitioner, Dr. Brady set her own standards for quality of patient care and clarified her vision of how she wanted to practice veterinary medicine. Still a scientist at heart, she knew she wanted always to stay abreast of the latest research and follow clinically-proven protocols using the most advanced therapies and equipment available.

She also knew to sustain her career long-term, she would be most likely to thrive in a practice that supports doctors and staff in maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

As an associate, Dr. Brady lacked the authority to make the medical and business decisions needed to match her ideals. But as a practice owner, she knew she would be able to meet her own standards and realize her vision for her career. She began researching opportunities for practice ownership and, on June 1, 2009, she purchased Brownsburg Animal Clinic, founded in 1970 by Dr. Ronald P. Miller and his wife.

In the decade since buying the clinic, Dr. Brady and her team have continued to serve the practice’s most loyal clients as well as many more discriminating Brownsburg-area dog and cat owners who appreciate Brownsburg Animal Clinic’s friendly atmosphere and the continuously improving quality of care for their cherished pets.

Equipment investments have been a priority for Dr. Brady as well as investments in continuing education and staffing well-qualified professionals for the team. Under her leadership, the clinic actively supports a number of community charities.

As clinic owner, Dr. Brady especially enjoys getting to know clients and their pets while working alongside team members who “have the clinic in their hearts.”

In October 2018, after five years of dreaming and planning, Dr. Brady broke ground on an addition to the clinic’s 1970s-era building that doubled its size, followed by reconfiguring and renovating the original space to accommodate dedicated surgical and dental suites, an updated pharmacy and updated offices. The project concluded in fall 2019.

In the decades ahead, Dr. Brady looks forward to continuing to serve the clinic’s clientele and their pets in the expanded, renovated facility, allowing the clinic to care for even more Brownsburg-area pets with greater flexibility and comfort.

In her free time, Dr. Brady enjoys running and spending time with her family and friends. In May 2016, she and Ryan welcomed a son, Rhys, to the family, which also includes three dogs and a cat.
