Make Your Inner Child Proud

Changing lives starts with changing yours. New Layer Request Appointment A simple, solid green shape resembling a cloud on a black background evokes the tranquility often found in a veterinarian's calming presence.

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. Seattle, WA We love Seattle. Even moreso, we love our community Capital Hill. It’s deeply inclusive, family-oriented, and LGBTQ friendly. Here, people take care of each other. You will find unbelievably good food, a vibrant culture, a thriving arts scene, and so many of the local businesses that make Seattle such a unique and wonderful place to live. And of course… you will find a neighborhood of animal lovers. We believe that Seattle is the best city on Earth. Join us, and build a life that you can truly love.

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

Our Pillars

 A veterinarian in green scrubs and another vet in dark scrubs gently hold a fluffy puppy in a veterinary clinic. Amid medical supplies and equipment, the alert puppy curiously observes its surroundings. A person in a light long-sleeve shirt holds a small gray kitten, perhaps fresh from the vet. The kitten has its eyes closed and mouth open, appearing to yawn or meow. A veterinarian in mask and scrubs gently cradles a golden retriever puppy in the clinic. The puppy appears relaxed, its head supported by the vet's caring hands, while medical equipment is visible in the background. A corgi eagerly reaches up on its hind legs towards a treat held by a vet above. The dog's eyes are focused on the treat, and one paw is lifted, creating a playful and dynamic scene.
