Seattle, WA

We are located in Roosevelt, a wonderful neighborhood in northern Seattle. Our “Emerald City” was recently ranked as the best place to live for outdoor experiences. The proximity to nature is incredible; whether that means skiing in the mountains or kayaking with orcas. The food scene is unmatched; there are countless amazing and unique local restaurants. The neighborhood is safe, deeply inclusive, and vibrant. This is a wonderful place to call home. Because that’s exactly what you deserve.

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.

01

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.

Authentically human.

Caring for a pet involves the full spectrum of emotions, from joy to grief. We know when to be fun, and when to be serious. At all times, we foster supportive, positive, and authentically human hospital culture.
