Services
Throughout the years, our doctor and staff have remained committed and dedicated to delivering superior, quality veterinary care and first-class customer service to you and your pet. As devoted citizens to our community, we are proud to actively work with animal rescue groups in the central Indiana area.
My early years were spent on the Westside, high school years in Carmel, and finally off to Purdue University for undergrad and veterinary school. I live in a "divided house, " as my wife, Beth, is an IU grad. During the first years of marriage, we lived in Broad Ripple, and then settled in and raised our children, Gunnar and Christian (both out of the house).
Offering more than 30 years of extensive veterinary experience and superior pet care, Dr. Tysklind and The Paw Patch Veterinary Hospital staff treat your time with utmost respect. Our long list of quality pet care services is accommodating to those with long workdays and busy, hectic schedules.
With the convenience of our comprehensive veterinary services, you can bring your pet in for an annual wellness exam, pick up your furry friend's prescription at our reliable onsite pharmacy, squeeze in a quick bath at our Paw Wash self-serve pet grooming station, or even have our professional groomer do the dirty work for you-all in one handy location.

You can request a download link here for our FREE app, Pet Desk! We have made managing all of your pet's needs even easier when we partnered with Pet Desk. Request appointments or prescription refills, see what appointments are already scheduled, have access to all of your pet's vaccination and reminders and more, all from the app.
In preparing for 2017, our leadership team discussed at length whether we should continue to offer the elective surgical amputation of cat's toes at the last joint, commonly known as a "declaw". Over the last 30 years, thoughts on declawing have changed dramatically. Our practice looked at these changes and began to consider what stance would continue to fit our core value of "being an advocate for our clients, patients and team".

I take my dog here for all of her vet needs! She is reactive and has dog-aggression issues we are addressing in training. I called around to many vets when I was trying to find a new vet for her - specifically wanting a facility that could be accommodating and nonjudgemental when it comes to Marlow's struggles behaviorally. The Paw Patch staff has always been very kind, understanding, and loving to Marlow! They offer a Chill package that is a series of calming medications I give to Marlow before her appointment. By the time she gets to the facility, she is ready to have the best time of her life

Been going here for years wouldn’t dream of going to another vet. I don’t feel like they try to pressure us into unnecessary procedures always explain things and have our pets best interest in mind. Staff is super friendly and knows my husband all my pets and myself. When I’ve had older animals pass they’ve made the process easy and are kind and caring. They do excellent with older animals and I appreciate the variety of arthritis treatments they offer older dogs so they don’t have to be uncomfortable.

Top notch care from the best vet team in Indianapolis! They love my pets as if they are their own. Thank you so much for the incredible care! From healing one of my dogs with cancer to helping the other with anxiety, they go above and beyond to find solutions and in providing support to the family as well.

We have had a great experience here. We are fostering a puppy 'Onyx' that ended up testing positive for some really tough stuff and this clinic was awesome in helping her get thru her challenges. Dr T was calling us frequently to check on her and could really tell he cares about his patients greatly. I would highly recommend this clinic and Dr Erik T. and staff.
They are also Fear Free certified.
We have had great experiences every time we have gone there and they have been very helpful and knowledgeable

I have been to this business once, and will definitely be returning.
My experience was wonderful. The staff was friendly, caring and very helpful. One of my three kitties was not feeling the best, and while we are only about half way through the meds, he seems to be doing better. Dr. Finnegan was a joy to work with, as well as Lesley, the vet tech. I appreciate the concern by the staff, and how caring they were while we were there, and after.
Thank you, Paw Patch, for helping Leonard begin to feel better. We will be back in to see you soon for Jake and Zoey's check ups :)

We adopted a Lab from Love of Labs rescue agency. He came with a clean bill of health and we had him checked ourselves and he came up clean again. Subsequently, he was diagnosed with heart worms. After paying over $400 for the first shot, Love of Labs was kind enough to cover the last two but said we would have to take him to their vet on the northwest side of Indy (we live in Noblesville). Trying to take a 85 pound lab anywhere is difficult, but especially in a Mustang with small seats and a stick shift so I hesitated, but remembered 2 more $400 shots and off we went to the Paw Patch. Extremely

We have been using The Paw Patch for about 7 years now for our personal dogs and our foster dogs and they are absolutely amazing! Dr. Tysklind is so knowledgeable and personable. He always listens to what you have to say and never dismisses your thoughts or opinions. He treats each animal as if it were his own...with love and care. I honestly cannot say enough good things about The Paw Patch. They have not only saved several of my pets' lives...but have also counseled us through the difficult decisions as well. They hire competent staff that are always polite and willing to help as well.

We have taken all of our dogs to Dr. T and the Paw Patch since we adopted our first dog almost 12 years ago. The staff is thoughtful and follows up after every appointment, and they know our family members and our animals by name. Dr. T is very thorough and thoughtful in his examinations and treatment of our dogs - including consulting with, and referring us to, specialists in the area and at Purdue when we've been confronted with more serious conditions like cancer or heart problems. What is most important to him is the health of our dogs - not his ego or his business. Quite simply - Dr.

I was here today for the pet wash side of Pet Paws.You sign in at the veterinarian desk and they'll take you to one of the pet wash rooms.You have your own room with a door and all the supplies necessary. Pet Paws supplies shampoo and conditioner in a convenient spray hose, thick towels and aprons for yourself. The stainless steel tub is deep and at a decent height with minimal stooping. Since my husband usually brings our Aussi for bathtime, the staff covered everything available for her bath. There is even a call light to the desk if you need assistance. A ramp is available for the pets

Dr. T saved my 13 year old cat maya's life. i'll never use another vet. originally i took her to the 'cat care clinic' where they over vaccinated her + pulled her tooth w/ out permission. this threw her whole system out of whack causing her to stop eating + drinking. i was crushed, my little furry soul mate was now fighting for her life. fortunately my good friend made me take her to visit dr. T. he put her on a vigilant health plan which saved her life for a fraction of the price i paid elsewhere. he is a bright, kind, honest, fair man. i'm eternally grateful.
