Preventive care

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Good reviews and recommendations is what made me go to this vet and so here I am writing my own. I am a first time dog mom to my little fur baby Brody who is the light of my life. He is the pickiest most human like dog i’ve ever met and Caring Hearts Animal Clinic has been nothing but fantastic when dealing with my Brody. First off the girls at the front desk are the best, they are compassionate and understanding when it comes to all the emotions that can come with having a fur baby who is a little complicated. I’ve had my fair share of vet visits and have never been disappointed with the outcomes. I love how quick they are to respond to the text messages and how understanding they are when it comes to Brody. I love the options they go over when I take him to the vet, I never feel like they’re "selling" anything to me. I feel like they are so knowledgeable about what’s going on and truly look at all the options to make sure we handle what’s going on with my dog the best way. Dr.Shaffer is who we see and she is amazing, she is a great listener and is so smart when it comes to my picky dog. When he got neutered I admit I was a little emotional dropping him off but whoever the girl was who came to come get him from me was so kind and compassionate and was just caring. The employees here definitely represent the "Caring hearts" name very well. I love this place, they have definitely earned a forever client and now that we’ve introduced a new fur baby Chico to the family he will be getting seen here as well. So grateful for the doctors and the girls at the front desk and all the help they’ve given us.

Can’t rave enough about this place! It’s the gem of vets in the Mesa/Gilbert area. We have had several pets over the years that we have brought to Caring Hearts! We’ve always had Dr. Hayley Schafer as our preferred veterinarian. She always takes her time and is very detailed in her examinations. We brought our new puppy in for her first exam, vaccinations and spay consultation. She found that she had an umbilical hernia and a mild skin infection that went undetected by myself. We brought her in for a spay today and she was able to repair her hernia at the same time. Which saved us money and an additional surgery. The front and back office team treat your pets like one of their own and you can tell that they truly care about them.

My senior cat MC was acting strange and I began to worry. I called Caring Hearts and explained what was going on and that I didn’t know what to do. I get anxious about going to the vet but they let me drop him off that same day. Everyone in the office was so kind and Dr. Montes was so great and informative and eased my anxiety about going to the vet. My poor guy had a double ear infection but he was in such good hands at Caring Hearts. Also it was so affordable. I will continue to go here and bring my other cat also. I can’t thank you enough for caring for MC.

I brought my 12 year old dog in because she’s been slowing down and needed a thorough exam. She’s always been super fearful of the vet’s office and the whole staff was really wonderful about it. They were patient and kind and sweet to her even though she was completely worked up. They found out some concerning things going on with her and have quickly booked me in to see the cardiologist (less than a week after finding out my dog needed to see one). I have zero complaints. Follow up care/getting questions answered has been easy. You can text them if you need anything, and they also reached out to follow up and see how she’s doing.

Our Veterinarian Hayley Schafer was awesome!! Our female labrador retriever had a lump in her stomach area. Hayley confirmed that it was a fatty lypoma. Not a big deal unless it starts growing alot bigger. She was very thorough and answered all our questions. I'm so glad caring hearts was recommended to us by a friend of mine.
