The Eagle Creek Animal Clinic has been a well-established practice on the west side of Indianapolis for many years. Dr. James Baughn, who had practiced small animal medicine and surgery in Indianapolis since 1972, founded the clinic in 1982 with himself as the only doctor and one other staff member.
In 2007, Dr. Barry Foster, with over 16 years of experience working with Dr. Baughn at the clinic, became the owner of the practice. Dr. Baughn retired in 2008 after over 30 years of practicing veterinary medicine. Since its founding in 1982, the Eagle Creek Animal Clinic has grown to employ four veterinarians and a support staff of highly trained professionals.

Dr. Foster graduated from Purdue and has been practicing veterinary medicine since 1990, and has been at the Eagle Creek Animal Clinic since 1991. Dr. Foster and his wife Julie have two daughters. They share their home with 2 cats, Francis and Sammy, and a very sweet and silly standard poodle, River.
Eagle Creek Animal Clinic has a long history of responsible citizenship. We have tried, and continue to try, to run our business so that it benefits both our local community and our environment. Over the decades, we have participated in events with the Indy Fever, the Humane Society of Indianapolis, Jamison Camp, Special Olympics Indiana, and many others.
Annual and semi-annual wellness exams are very important and allow your veterinarian to evaluate your pets external and internal health, along with preventing disease in the future. We keep track of what vaccines your pet is due for and can help you choose preventative products for fleas, ticks, heartworms, and parasites.
Our spay and neuter services are overseen by a full medical and surgery team from start to finish. We run diagnostic bloodwork with our in-house laboratory machines prior to anesthesia to check all organ functions, and monitor temperature and vitals throughout the day. Intravenous catheters are placed to allow a direct line for hydrating fluids and any medications needed should an emergency situation arise.
Just as in humans, your pet's dental health can seriously affect its overall health. Bad odor, difficulty eating, and even recurring infections and illnesses may be caused by poor dental health. The kidneys, heart, and liver are all directly affected by periodontal disease. A build-up of tartar can cause more expensive problems later on, such as dental abscesses and jaw problems.

Had an 11:00 appointment. Pulled up and a sign said to call the number to check in. Called the number, they said "You're checked in and we'll call you when it's your turn." 30 minutes later, with my pet in the car, I get the phone call! The took my pet in gave him his shot, and brought him back out in LESS THAN 5 minutes! Why did I wait 35 minutes for something that literally took less than 5 minutes! There weren't any other customers, because no was the only one sitting in my car waiting! The place is locked down and doesn't allow customers inside, just their pets.

Always have gone to the Eagle Creek Animal Clinic for the last 20 years. Love the vets and employees, however with our recent visit I feel that we were nickel and dimed by being charged $5 per dog for an OSHA fee. When asked what this fee is for, they said it was to cover supplies that they "may" use. All that the dogs got were one shot that they were due for. The cost of all supplies for a shot should have been included in this shot, not additional fees for something that they may or may not use.

Dr. Foster and Dr. Allen are great vets. My elderly cat was very complicated and required a lot of care in the last 3 years of her life. They gave her a great quality of life and kept me informed during every step of the way. Even during the mess of 2020 they went above and beyond for us. I've never had a bad experience with their staff, always friendly and eager to help.
