Dr. Headley received his Bachelor's of Animal Science from The University of Kentucky and his DVM from Tuskegee University. Dr. Headley is widely regarded as one of Kentucky's finest diagnosticians with a no -nonsense approach. He has also been awarded "Best Veterinarian in Lexington" numerous times.
We are pleased that you have chosen Chevy Chase Animal Clinic for your pets! We believe that we offer the best veterinary care and personalized service anywhere to our clients and in particular, to their beloved pets. If you have health records on your pet, please bring them with you at the time of your appointment.
In order to focus on our patients' needs, customer service, and minimizing costs, payment is expected when services are rendered. We accept debit cards, credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express) checks and cash. All cards must be signed by the owner of the card. When unexpected illness or injuries arise, unforeseen expenses arise as well.
We offer a wide range of medical procedures performed by our experienced veterinarians or we can refer you to a variety of board certified veterinarians. Surgeries are performed on a daily basis at our clinic. These surgeries include spays and neuters, declawing, orthopedic surgeries, bladder stone removal (cystotomy), abscess drain placements, exploratory procedures, ophthalmic procedures, growth removals, and many others.
Small animal dentistry is similar in many ways to human dentistry and just as important. Routine dental care helps prevent bacteria build-up (helps eliminate doggy breath!) and prevent potentially dangerous health problems. Our skilled veterinarians are able to perform extractions if necessary for your pet!

I have taken my animals to Chevy Chase Small Animal Clinic since at least 1972. I have complete confidence in them. They are always pleasant, compassionate, and obviously love my animals as much as I - if that’s possible. You can’t go wrong.

I've had mostly good experiences at Chevy Chase Animal Clinic. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the prices seem fair. They're always quick to get us in to be seen, and their location is convenient. My only issue, and it's really more a matter of taste, is with Dr. Headley. He often comes across as arrogant and paternalistic, like he knows it all, and he's given me advice before that I find questionable. I used to work in a vet clinic and I have a lot of experience working with animals, and I want a veterinarian who is a little more caring and careful with my pets.

Best Animal Clinic in Lexington! Incredibly kind and responsive staff. Whether I have been there with my dog for her yearly check-up or for more serious health issues both she and I have been well cared for. Doctor's Headley, Blanchett, and Blackey are professional and personable.

I cannot say enough kind words about this vet clinic. My kitten was in such good hands with them for a big surgery. The staff went above and beyond to make him comfortable and ease my worry. They even went out of their way to text me updates while I was working. I have seen how fantastic they are with all animals, especially my feisty cat. I am so thankful this vet clinic is in my town. I highly recommend!

They are truly the best! My Cat developed bladder stones and it became an emergency situation. I didn't have a vet yet, but I absolutely do now! They took my frantic phone and told me to bring him in due to the severity of his issue. They were professional, incredibly kind and my Cal is going to be okay because of their care. They have a patient for life! They truly care about the animals in their care and the empathy they displayed put me so much at ease. Definitely the best vet clinic I have ever brought my animal too.

It is a caring place; they care about your cat and are patient and kind to them. The front desk service is very friendly and gentle, and they will never treat your calls rudely (I am an international student who is not so fluent in English, but they are never impatient talk with me). The medical team is also severe and responsible and will discuss the cat’s condition with you in detail, refer to your opinions and discuss the cat’s condition. When my cat does not feel good at such an anxious moment, the doctor’s attitude makes me feel at ease. During my stay in the United States, my roommate
