We took our cat to Caring Hands in Lake City just before moving here to Old Town, they told us he had an abscess tooth and it would run $750-1200 to pull the tooth. We had to wait to have him looked at again. And the doctor here at CAH looked at him and said it was tarter build up and popped it right out and only charged for a visit and he is doing so much better, he is himself again. Thank you guys so much I highly recommend these guys supper place, we will be back.

Great pet friendly spot. Where the people there really care about your pets. Found a lost dog and because it had it's rabies shots tag on, I was able to work with staff and locate the owner. You love to see it. Being a doggy daddy myself, I know God forbid If I lose a pet. Good chance with there rabies tags we will be able to reunite again. 💕

Horrible. Just horrible. If I could give 0 stars - I would. This place is labeled a " hospital " with little to no experience and almost 0 compassion for the animals or the people. I don't know if this place thought my sister wasn't going to pay, but she did. From the beginning it was about MONEY even after I said " it doesn't matter what it will cost, she will pay whatever it is " the woman behind the front desk was standoffish and just rude. Only one assistant showed compassion to my sister and I and she seemed like she was limited in the kind of assistance she could offer because of a suspicion that we could not pay. It was THAT or they were just all incompetent! For something that ended up being a critical situation - they just sent us out the door doing less than the bare minimum to make sure her puppy was okay. He was taken to an animal hospital in gainesville where they were appalled to know that they did not offer to keep him overnight on fluids and IV antibiotics to be monitored and supported through this. Never take your pets here during an emergency. They do not know what they are doing.

They saw our Dillinger within 10 min of our arrival. We brought him there because he woke up and couldn't use his hind legs and kept falling over. The diagnosed neuropathy, wanted to try him on meds before we discussed the other options. Said give jt 7-10 days, if no improvement then bring him back and we would discuss the other options, were on day 6, he is up on all fours still stumbling some but overall much better. Thanks for their kindness!
