Welcome to our Fort Thomas home
A Fort Thomas vet that feels like family.
Fort Thomas is the kind of town where neighbors wave from the porch, kids bike to school, and dogs know every stop on their walk. We wanted our clinic to feel the same way: familiar, friendly, and close to home.
Veterinary Medical Center of Fort Thomas sits on Memorial Parkway, just down the road from Highlands High School, Tower Park, and Riggs Park. Whether you live near the Midway District or out toward Highland Heights, we're a quick drive from your front door, with free parking right at ours.
We're independently owned by Dr. Kristi Baker, who lives right here in Fort Thomas. That means the people caring for your pet are the same people making the decisions, not a corporate office in another state.
If you're looking for a vet in Fort Thomas who will remember your dog's quirks, your cat's history, and your name, you're in the right place.
