I called about an animal they dont see (bearded dragon who is ill). I was extremely thankful they quickly called back to let me know this, but on top of their responsiveness, they let me know about exotic vets near the area. Not only this, they sent me this list via text. That speaks volumes. I do have two cats, and I absolutely plan on bringing them here soon. I can tell its a great place. Way to go you all! I will recommend you all everywhere.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE DR. E! We were a new client to Care Pets, a bit skeptical since I didn't know any other clients, however it's been an amazing experience when we go. I really like the "fun visits", Luca does too! I feel like I/we matter when we walk in the building, it's very welcoming. All the staff has been courteous and they seem very knowledgeable with any question asked. You all rock!!!

All the staff is very friendly, they take care of every single detail when treating your pet is about. I'll highly recommend Care-Pets Animal Hospital and Wellness Center. Teo (my dog) and I are very thankful for all the attention received. Dr. Evinger has treated Teo like no one else and has always cured him, even with pre-existing issues that seemed to have no solution. Congratulations to all the staff!

Care Pets Animal Hospital has been taking EXCELLENT care of my dogs for over 20 years. Dr. E has great critical thinking skills. She is very knowledgeable, thorough, attentive, gentle and goes above and beyond to ease my anxiety when my fur babies are not feeling well. Dr. Greer & Dr. Jones have both cared for my pets when I have had unscheduled visits due to acute illness or when I have had my dogs teeth cleaned, and both vets are extremely knowledgeable, kind and I trust them with my babies. I also want to comment on the fantastic staff!! They are the BEST! They run the front office well

I truly can't say enough positive things about Care Pets. They genuinely care about your pet and their health. They are very thorough and don't make you feel rushed or like your just another number. They truly take their time with you and your pet. They are so patient and helpful and make sure all my questions are answered. Dr. Evinger and her staff are truly one of a kind. I am so thankful for them and their honest and compassionate care. I highly recommend you bring your pets here, you won't be disappointed.

Dr. Joan & all the staff are so sweet & caring with Gracie, my guinea pig. She tolerates visits so well because they are so gentle with her, even getting toenails trimmed. They follow up on visits & the clinic is clean & furnished nicely with charming fur baby signs.
