Make Your Inner Child Proud

Changing lives starts with changing yours. New Layer Request Appointment A green abstract shape resembling interconnected geometric forms with a mix of sharp angles and smooth curves set against a white background. The design is symmetric and suggests a modern, stylized logo.

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. Kirkland Proud We have made our home in Kirkland, WA. We love our community, which was recently named the third best city to live in within the entire United States. Here, you will find an eclectic neighborhood that is vibrant, family friendly, and has incredible schools and local businesses. And, of course, no shortage of animal lovers.

Our Pillars
