Make Your Inner Child Proud

Changing lives starts with changing yours. Open Positions A simple, solid green heart shape against a black background symbolizes the care and compassion often found in the hands of a skilled veterinarian.

We built Cara because we believe in a different approach to veterinary medicine. One that is all about connection. We are driven by a belief and excitement in helping humanity. Pets are such an integral part of that. They mean so much to us. They change our lives, touch our hearts, and even teach us how to be better people.

Many of our team members have a core memory of wanting to save an animal as a child. That has shaped who they have become. We will protect that flame. We invest in you. With training, education, benefits, and mentorship. With support, teamwork, and an unflinchable belief in you. With everything we do, we will empower you to change the lives of people and pets. And we'll help you make your inner child proud. Greenwood Calls We may be a bias, but we believe that the Greenwood / Phinney area is one of the best places on Earth to call home, raise a family, and enjoy a wide variety of life. Here, you will find an eclectic neighborhood with a diverse mix of local restaurants, bars, boutiques, and close proximity to Seattle's famous mix of urban adventures and breathtaking scenes of nature. A simple, solid green heart shape against a black background symbolizes the care and compassion often found in the hands of a skilled veterinarian. The Seattle skyline, with the iconic Space Needle in the foreground, stands tall like a proud veterinarian overseeing their practice. Skyscrapers rise under a clear blue sky, and Mount Rainier looms majestically behind, while lush green trees frame this urban landscape.
