Our Team
A veterinarian this town has trusted for a generation.
Barnes Mill Animal Hospital is led by Dr. Jack Taylor, DVM, a graduate of Auburn University’s College of Veterinary Medicine in 1982 and the practice’s president. For more than two decades, families across Richmond have brought their dogs and cats here for care they can count on.
Diplomate, American Board of Veterinary Practitioners
One of only five ABVP diplomates in Kentucky certified in canine & feline practice — a distinction earned by few.
Behind Dr. Taylor stands a full team — three veterinarians and 21 caring support staff who treat your pet like their own. And because we’re independently owned, the decisions about your pet’s care are made right here in Richmond, never in a distant corporate office.

The families of Richmond say it best.
“Dr. Taylor is truly a godsend. He cared for my sweet Bella during one of the hardest moments and treated her with so much compassion, patience, and respect. He took the time to explain everything… If you are looking for a veterinarian who genuinely cares about both your pet and you, this is the place.”

“Dr. Taylor is as educated, caring and skilled as they come. We moved 45 minutes away & still take our dogs to him. I wouldn’t trust my fur babies with anyone else.”
