Amazing care. I recently switched here from another hospital for my dog and cat. For the past few years(I think there was a change of management) we were being treated like money bags without much concern for our dog. My dog is old and in so much pain in his rear legs. On our first visit to Caring Hands, Dr. Kubalski was kind, took my concerns seriously, and prescribed a first-line medication, and said upon second visit if it isn't helping we will look into other options. I was provided with a detailed, itemized receipt and I was asked BEFORE they gave a service they charge for(at my old vet, this was an issue). Upon my second visit, Dr. Arkhipova was so nice and so was the vet tech. They listened to my concerns and took them seriously, in addition they treated my small, old, hard-of-hearing dog, Tug, with kindness. Dr. Arkhipova prescribed a new medication for arthritis, and it is helping him so much, it has turned our house happy again. He can again go for walks to the river, which makes him so happy. Thanks Caring Hands, unknown blonde tech, Dr. Kubalski, and Dr. Arkhipova!

I was in urgent need of a new primary vet for my critical senior cat after dismissive care from our vet of 7 years. Caring Hands got me an appointment the very next day and provided detailed and compassionate care. They were able to relieve my cat's discomfort and collaborate with a specialist to provide medication. I'm so glad I found Caring Hands!

My experience with this clinic has been excellent so far. They were able to get my service dog, Cheddar, in for a sick visit the same day I called due to a cancellation (even as a new patient). He's been a little nervous around new people lately, but he absolutely loved Dr. Kulbaski and vet tech Dena. They were both so kind and caring with him. Their protocol to prevent spreading illness was great as well, and they've been amazing with answering my many follow up questions via email. So grateful to have found such a good vet close by that I can trust with caring for my sweet boy.

I was recommended to here by my mother who brings her dog here. This was jands down one of the if not the best experiences I have ever had at the vet. From the ease of scheduling to the moment you walk out the door. Everyone here is absolutely amazing, kind and truly cares about you and your pet. I wouldn't take my Kitters anywhere else.

We went to Caring Hands for the first time in May 2023 due to our Shiba Inu having a cracked tooth. Our previous vet stated that they were not able to extract his tooth due to a lack of specialized equipment. We have been on the lookout for a new vet for a while as our previous one did not seem that thorough, dismissed our concerns, and never explained things well. They also took vacations pretty frequently since we always seemed to see a new doctor not affiliated with their practice each time we came in for a visit. We were referred to Caring Hands by a friend, and we couldn't be happier with the treatment and service! Dr. Arkhipova and the vet tech/assistant were super gentle with our dog, and Dr. Arkhipova was very thorough in her explanation of the injury on our dog's tooth and was great about answering all of our questions. We had another visit this morning, about a month after our first visit, due to an emergency situation yesterday. I called Caring Hands yesterday morning and they were able to make an appointment this morning, so we are incredibly thankful for the flexibility! We saw Dr. Kulbaski, and again we got a very thorough explanation & examination of our dog. We appreciate the transparency of the cost of services, as well as the care that Caring Hands provides. We truly believe that these vets care about our dog and strive to provide the best quality care for him. We couldn't recommend this animal hospital enough for anyone in need of a vet!!
