I’ve been bringing my cats here for the past couple of years. The staff always takes really great care of them, even when they are difficult to handle. The office staff, technicians, and veterinarians have all been very kind and supportive. I also appreciate the texts they send to check in after the dental cleanings or when one has needed medication. They were also able to squeeze in a last minute appointment when one of my chickens needed euthanasia. It’s really hard to find someone able to help with chickens, but as always, they took really great care of her in her final moments. It’s a big relief to have a practice I trust to provide the best care!

Services were okay. I've never spent 2 hours at a vet before when I had an appointment, but I know there are things I cannot see behind the scenes. I assume I saw a doctor, but I'm unsure because they never introduced themselves. No names or titles were offered from any of the 4 people that entered our room. They also had to stick my pup 4 times for his pro heart injection, which seemed a little much to me. Then, the prices were absolutely through the roof. I'm a multi pup owner, and my pups have always gone to vets for their annual exams, regular shots, heartworm and flea preventions, and I've never hesitated to get them any additional treatments or medications that they may need. They are big dogs, and taking proper care of your animals can be expensive no matter the size, but I have never paid such high prices for any of these things. $100 for an annual exam, which was subpar at best compared to others my pups have received. They barely touched either pup and didn't even look at one's teeth. The 12 month pro heart injection was $113.82 MORE than what I paid at my last vet less than a year ago (same dosage for a dog in the same size range). I understand inflation and that prices change yearly. I get that. But $113.82 increase in less than a year's time? I just can't see how that is accurate. I will likely be shopping around for another vet with more reasonable pricing.

Dr Schmidtchen and her technician, Deanna, are amazing! Very kind and great at what they do! My pup graduated physical therapy today, and I couldn't be more grateful! Highly recommend!

This week our 17 year old male rabbit, Dante, could no longer use his back legs. He could still eat and drink but he was unable to get up. He had also stopped urinating. We took him to see Dr. Gilane to see if anything could be done. We knew the diagnosis, but we had to ask. Dr. Gilane gave him a shot to take away his pain and let us spend some time with him. Because of the weather I was delayed burying him. Today I opened the little coffin he was in, and found him in a small blanket that he would have loved. He was beautiful and looked like a young bunny again. The people at Care-Pets were so nice and considerate.

I had the misfortune of visiting this location under difficult circumstances. My precious Bella, a chiweenie who was at my side and my constant companion of 17, almost 18 years, had to be humanly put to sleep. It was one of the most difficult decisions I've ever had to make. The staff did everything in their power to make this as easy on us as humanly possible. The staff remained professional , sympathetic, and respectful throughout the entire process. Our baby was cremated, and the staff did not pressure us at any point, as to the time we were given to pick up our babies' ashes. Thank you for your compassion.

A tribute to my Bella

It's not easy.

To watch as a loved ones health fades away. To look into those clouded eyes as they try to do the things they once accomplished with ease. To see their frustration, their confusion, and their disappointment, as they stumble and fall. It's not easy to stand by helplessly as they decline before your eyes. But, it's what I signed up for, the moment I fell in love with you. And just as that very first moment, I still love you. I love you as I've always loved you, with fierce, unconditional, all-encompassing love. The love that will never diminish, even after you are gone from this earth.
You have grown from a tiny little baby who fit in the palm of my hand into a wise, beautiful little soul. You've helped heal my heart when life got too heavy for me to carry alone. You've helped raise my two girls and many others along the way. You've led the pack into uncharted territory with your confident, brave little self. You've helped countless wandering souls who came through our lives on their way to new homes. You've raised many of those who came into our lives and left this world a better place because of you. You were an adventurous soul who accomplished so much, and even in your retirement years, you taught me to never stop learning more and experiencing more. At the young age of eleven, you adapted to an entirely new lifestyle. You became the best co-pilot a person could ever dream of. Together, we traveled to 44 states and covered over one million miles. You were my second heartbeat.

Today, as I watch you traverse new obstacles and adapt to a new way of life, you are still teaching me to be strong, to be resilient, and have faith in whatever lies ahead. Because of you. I have learned to live once again. To never allow others to paint who I am with the same brush stokes as all others. To embrace my unique qualities and never back down from new experiences. I have watched your tiny little 7 lb body jump three times your height and attack every challenge with an open mind and willing heart. In a way, you have raised me. You have also taught me to stand strong in your absence. In the knowledge that our connection will continue. My heart may feel heavy in the fact that I will no longer feel your warmth against my skin every night. My eyes will never light up seeing the excitement in your eyes every morning. But, I know we'll meet again. Until that day, little one, I know there is a special someone who is anxiously awaiting your arrival. A person who has wanted to have you in our lives long before I was willing to embrace the idea myself. When you see him, run to him as you've ran to greet us. He will embrace you as you've grown accustomed, with pure love and enthusiasm. He will take care of you until the day we can be together once again. Rejoice in the reunions of those amazing souls who have vanished from this earth and have been waiting to see you once again.

It has been an honor to call you my Buppy all these years. It's with a heavy heart that I say that you will be missed.
Mama loves you, Bella.... Always.

I have been a customer of Care Pets for 15+ years and just recently had an amazing experience with them and the care they provided for my senior pup after her procedure. The doctors and staff both exceeded my expectations (especially Todd) and I cannot thank them enough for the supervision they provided for my old girl to make sure she healed up and was ready to come home. I highly recommend Care Pets to anyone looking for a reputable vet to take care of their fury friend.
