I've been taking my pets to Care for over 7 years now. They've been awesome for my Dog & Cats. Also they've helped with 2 of my older cats crossing the bridge. Great Vets, great office staff. 5 stars.

Dr Gilbert is a great Veterinarian. His level of care as well as the way he communicates and explains everything to you is great! The staff at the clinic is also very exceptional from the front desk to the techs in the back. I have brought my grandma and her dog here for a few years now and am now bringing my own pets here as well.

The vet staff is really top notch. From diagnosis to treatment, they are thorough and take the time to ensure we are fully informed. The office staff is so friendly and we’ve even received get well soon cards with toys after bigger procedures-it really is a caring place!

Dr. Fox and the staff were lovely to work with! They made my cat feel right at home and even got him to eat a treat which he never does at the vet. Prices were reasonable and they didn’t try to up sell which I’ve seen at other vets. We’ll be bringing Yeti back!

We love the Care Animal Hospital team. They are so kind, knowledgeable, and go above and beyond. The office staff is always so polite, the techs are great at their jobs, and the DVMs take time and make sure your pets and your own needs are met.

When I moved I saw Care Animal Hospital had great reviews so was happy to find a place close by to take my dogs and cat to. I was surprised and delighted to learn that they do avian care as well! All of the staff there are wonderful from the front desk to techs to vets, and I feel great about bringing all of my pets there. Dr. Fox in particular does so well with my grumpy old parrot, and seeing how calm and gentle she is with him also helps ease my anxiety during visits. As a bonus their whole waiting area is a bright, welcoming, safe environment for pets and for people. I can’t recommend this clinic enough!

Two dogs, ten years. We use any vet available and like them all. The PAW plan saves a bit of money.

Update: I can no longer give a 5-star review. Something has happened to the ownership of this place and it’s like you’re dealing with algorithms instead of people. Case in point: Not long ago, our dog became suddenly and seriously ill and acted as though he was on the cusp of death. I called Care. The receptionist took down the symptoms, put me on hold, and said to get the dog to urgent care because he needed emergency surgery from having eaten something. I was dubious, because I’d likely know if he did, but took him to urgent care anyway, where they immediately ruled out surgery and diagnosed the dog with pancreatitis.

I thought well, okay, but was irritated that the vet hospital we’d gone to for so many years made a diagnosis without doing an exam. Urgent Care treated the dog and sent post-care instructions to give our regular vet. I called Care again when the dog had a flareup, and they said there was nothing they could do and to just go back to Urgent Care, who did what the post-care instructions for the vet said to do.

The dog is pretty much okay, by the way, a least for now. He’s an old guy.

Later, Care called to tell me they had mistakenly undercharged for the dog’s PAW plan for the past year and they needed to charge the balance. Well, it happens. I paid, but didn’t renew. It used to be a decent program, but it’s gotten pricey.

The final thing was a HeartGard re-order. I tried to do it only, but Care’s website directs you to some online pharmacy which requires you to set up an account with username and password and all that stuff, which I didn’t want to do. I checked the meds price with Chewy and one other place and it was around $110 for a year’s supply. I bought it directly from Care but was surprised with a $134 dollar tab.

It also seems like a big personnel churn, there. It’s just weird and uncomfortable anymore.

UPDATE: The hospital manager called to address the issues I raised. I suspect she will address any issues, and it’s kind of cool that a real person in authority was actually concerned.

The facility is amazing, the reception speedy and efficient, and the people are so completely empathetic when you're in crisis mode and everything is crazy. Did a serious procedure on our favorite child and they did an amazing job with lots of communication. Highly experienced and competent doctors, and is a one stop shop for all the things that we hope never happen to our fur children. Thank you all.
