Ehlers Animal Care

We were not regulars here. Our dog was transferred from Vintage Heights to here due to xray machine being down. Our (almost) 8 year old, German Sheppard was bit by something, causing significant swelling in both front legs, unable to walk, and no longer eating. We were only there for 28 hours, but the staff was amazing to us from start to finish. Including helping us load/unload Zeus into my vehicle to the emergency vet for overnight care and back in the morning. We utlimately decided it was best to put him down and not let him suffer anymore. After losing my dog of 16 years exactly a week prior, and now this, it was incredibly heart breaking to lose both our fur babies. I would become apart of this vet clinic next time I get an animal, they are amazing. We are blessed for the care they provided our dog in his final days. xxx

Every doctor and every staff member there are incredible! I also run a rescue and we take our animals to Ehlers too. Actually, I moved my own animals there because of how amazing they are to every rescue animal that they have treated for us! I can’t even pick a favorite vet, they have all been great! Dr. Martin treated a kitten that was found and brought to our rescue with a severely injured leg. We knew it was likely needing removed and they took him and did the surgery that day and he is now thriving on three legs and pain free. I’ll put "Matcha’s Day at the vet" pics below! He was so loved when he was there!

I stumbled across Ehlers when I moved to Lincoln in 2023 and needed to establish primary care for my bullterrier Max and my French bulldog Ruby. I can honestly say this is the best veterinary clinic with the best staff of doctors, techs, and receptionists that you will ever have for your dogs! My dogs are like my kids to me and they Have listened and been there for every single concern I’ve ever had with the dogs. They are incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. I am constantly traveling and they were always happy to work with me to make sure Max and Ruby continued getting the best care. We moved back home to Chicago a couple of weeks ago. What really stood out to me is after we moved, Max had a medical emergency (bloat) and when the vet in Chicago requested records not only did they immediately send it over and assist the hospital we were at in Illinois, but they immediately messaged to check in on Max and us and make sure we were okay. They didn’t have to do that, they know that we moved and Max is no longer a patient of theirs, but they did it anyway because that’s how much they care about your pets. I would encourage everybody to establish primary care here!! We love you guys!!!

Dr Ehlers, Dr Martin, Dr Kerl, the entire team at Ehlers Animal Care are fantastic! They genuinely care for your pets as they would their own. Extremely knowledgeable, amazing people! I can’t say enough wonderful things about them and all of our experiences there. They truly have saved the lives of our dogs and cried along with me when we’ve had to say goodbye. They go above and beyond each and every time. We are so fortunate to call so many of them our friends.. So much love for the team there and some of our most favorite people in the world!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Kerl and the entire team. My dogs, Dexter and MoMo, have both received care here, and I have always felt supported, heard, and genuinely cared for. Dr. Kerl is not only incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, but deeply compassionate in the moments that matter most. When Dexter was diagnosed with cancer, she took the time to explain everything clearly, walk through options thoughtfully, and make sure I felt supported through some of the hardest decisions of my life. I never once felt rushed or alone in the process. Dexter passed away on February 5th due to his cancer, and I will forever be grateful for the care and dignity he was given. I also want to specifically thank Courtney for getting Dexter’s nose and paw prints for me. That small act of kindness means more than I can ever express and is something I will cherish forever. I wish I could remember and thank every single staff member by name, and I apologize for not being able to. Every person we encountered showed genuine compassion and kindness during an incredibly difficult time, and that meant everything to me. This team truly cares about their patients and the families who love them. I am so grateful that Dexter received such loving care, and that MoMo continues to be in such compassionate and capable hands.

After going through a fairly serious medical issue for one of our cats, we were at Ehler's often. It's so reassuring to know that I can call and the entire staff is helpful, communicates well and addresses our needs. I love how the doctors and staff connect with the pets - they come in the room and sit on the floor with them.

My French Bulldog, London needed BOAS surgery - after getting quoted $7,000 from a vet in Omaha we decided to call Ehlers Animal Care and schedule a consultation. We expected to still be quoted around $3-5k. After checking her out we got her on their books for two weeks out. Friday the 6th we dropped her off in the morning and picked her up in the later afternoon, a whole $434 later our girl was ready to go home. Dr Ehlers didn’t feel the need to do her nose as her nostrils seem to be big enough. Monday I had a couple concerns, so I called them and they squeezed me in & we were given some other meds and supplements to help curb some of the side effects she was having. Today she’s already so much better and starting to slowly be more of herself every day & most importantly, breathing so quietly and easier! I can’t thank Dr. Ehlers & her practice enough for helping our sweet girl.
