Bright Veterinary Clinic - Lawrenceburg, Indiana

I have been going to Bright Vet clinic since they opened. I have had many dogs and cats since then. They have helped me with therapy for a small dog that hurt her back so bad she could barely walk, and helped them leave when there life became unbearable. I have always been treated with respect and kindness, even in the hardest of times. I will never go to another vet and recommend them completely.

We absolutely love Dr Hubbard and his amazing team.
They take such wonderful care of our fur babies.
They are very fair with their prices too.
We believe they love Lulu and Samantha as much as we do.

On 10/26/24, my wife, our son, his fiancé and I went to Bright Veterinary Clinic to have our 14 year old mini Schnauzer, Frank, euthanized. The appointment had been scheduled for three weeks. A few minutes after arriving we were taken to a room and was told that the vet, Steve Hubbard, would be in shortly. As we waited, we tried to calm Frank, who was clearly having bad anxiety. After about 30 minutes, Hubbard and an assistant came in. He walked into the room practically yelling, in an extremely loud and boisterous voice, scaring Frank and causing him even more anxiety. The only thing he said to us was, “Didn’t I x-ray this dog’s leg a while back?” I said that, yes, he had. He then pulled out a small clipper and shaved the hair off Frank’s arm. His assistant grabbed Frank in what can only be described as a half-nelson, and Hubbard pulled out a syringe. As he started to move it towards Frank’s arm, I said, “So that’s a sedative, right?” He said, “No, this is it.” I said, “Wait!” and told him that one of us wanted to hold Frank at the end, and that I didn’t want the last people Frank would see to be total strangers. He said, “You can hold his legs, but she’s going to hold him”, meaning his assistant. I told him that when we had our first dog put to sleep there they put in a cathedrae, and I was able to hold her. He said, “Well, I’m pretty good at finding a vein”. I said, “I’m sure you are.” He then started to back pedal, “Well, I do it this way so we don’t have to take the dog away.” That’s total BS…it was obvious that he was just in a hurry. He thought he was going to run in, jab my dog, and then run out. Just then the assistant said, “Let’s put in a cathedrae.” Then both of them left the room with Frank. Hubbard’s demeanor the entire time was that of a loud, uncaring, uncompassionate bully, who had absolutely no regard for the fact that a grieving family was just about to lose a family member. He actually acted like he was irritated that someone would question him and what he was about to do.

About 10 minutes later, Hubbard and the assistant came back with Frank. They sat him on the table, and Hubbard said, “Are you ready now?” I rubbed Frank’s head while my wife, son and his fiancé stroked and rubbed his back, and said, “Yes”. The second Hubbard started administering the solution, Frank screamed out in agony…we had never heard him in so much pain during the 12 years we had him. Never. Hubbard should have stopped immediately and gave Frank a sedative, but no, he just kept going. Within seconds Frank was gone; his last minute on this earth screaming in agony while looking right at the person who would have NEVER done him any harm. The only thing Hubbard had to say was, “Sorry ‘bout that, I’m not sure why that happened” and, “He might take a breathe in about two minutes.” He then walked out the door and we never saw him again.

The four of us were in absolute shock. We were all literally crying our eyes out over what had just happened, and this monster just vanished. We knew going in that it was going to be hard, but this abominable excuse for a human being made everything 10 times worse. I was actually having convulsions I was crying so hard. For the next 10 or 15 minutes we stayed with Frank, just absolutely gutted, holding him, kissing him, and petting him. No one ever came back into the room. Since we were having him cremated, we left him in his bed, on the table. As we walked out no one even said, “We’re sorry for your loss.” Looking back, I regret not taking Frank with us and burying him in the backyard…mainly because I have ZERO confidence in Bright Veterinary Clinic, especially Steve Hubbard.

Since then I’ve confirmed that Frank should have been sedated before being given the lethal injection; allowing him to simply drift into a deep sleep, eliminating the horrible pain he unnecessarily went through, but I guess Hubbard had more important things to do. He gave no words of comfort, made no attempt to make Frank’s transition peaceful, no condolences, NOTHING.

My 11 year old dog June may need knee surgery and friends recommended Dr. Hubbard....great idea!!! Dr. Hubbard and the entire staff were nice, giving of their time, and incredibly thorough and informative. The facility is clean and my dog has NEVER behaved so well. Prices are very reasonable and I will be changing to this clinic from here on out.

They are always friendly and try their best to fit you in during an emergency. Dr. Hubbard does a great job keeping you informed. He has been our family veterinarian for 30 years! We fully trust him and his staff, and that really means a lot!

I absolutely love this place. We have been bringing our dogs here for about 3 years now, and Dr. Hubbard is wonderful. He is very friendly, down-to-earth, and not at all condescending like some other vets in the area. He is very knowledgeable and skilled with not just dogs and other common domestic animals, but also with exotics, like birds and reptiles.
The prices here are very reasonable and the service from every employee I have interacted with has always been exceptional. These people really care about the animals they work with and it shows in everything they do.
