Cara is a small network of animal hospitals within the Seattle region. We built Cara because we know that, for so many people, pets are now truly part of the family. But as this bond has advanced, the veterinary model hasn’t evolved to recognize this meaningful shift between pets and the people who love them.

Here, we are reimagining everything. So your pet won’t just be getting gold-standard medicine from a-z. We are going to show you a better way to care for you both. You just might walk out thinking… “I didn’t know it could be like this”.

Better care… for them AND you

We believe that a better way to care means reimagining the way we care for you. We understand that going to the vet can be stressful for you. You might find yourself wondering if you’re doing the right thing, if some symptom is actually a serious issue, or if you have all the information you need.

We’re working on changing all of that. We prioritize connection, education, and comfort. You will feel empowered, in control, and will know that you are doing exactly what your pet needs.

Our Pillars

As part of the Cara Veterinary Family, our practice operates from five core principles, or “pillars”.

Put pets first.

Our first priority is always with the health, happiness, and comfort of our patients. Our care advice is based only on what is best for the pet.
