Verified Veterinarian
I became a veterinarian because I believe it is our responsibility as humans to care for animals who don't have a voice or much of a choice in their lives. Whether it's a wild animal, a farm animal, or a pet, we humans impact their environment and what happens to them. My mission is to make every animal I care for feel loved and safe in any situation. Throughout my career, I have had to euthanize many animals, which is never an easy thing to do. During this difficult task, I have developed a way to focus all my love and attention on the life of the animal, not the euthanasia. So that in this challenging situation, the animal feels safe and loved during this peaceful passing, and the owners feel at peace with the decision that has been made.

Let’s be honest- no one wants to make an appointment for this kind of service- however, it’s a part of life for pet owners. Dr. Cara was wonderful and supportive throughout the entire process. From communicating beforehand to learn more about my situation to the visit and aftercare, each step of the way she was caring. I’m sorry you’ll need this service, but if you do, I’d recommend Dr. Cara.
Cara was amazing! She was compassionate, gentle . loving and we didnt feel rushed during this experience! We felt so blessed to have her as part of this experience- even though it was sad, her calm assurance made us feel that this was the right decision. We were so thankful that we found such a loving individual to help us usher Ranger to his peaceful resting place.
Cara, was wonderful. She took her time with our Zack and explained everything thoroughly to us. it was a wonderful way to say goodbye to our Zack. Thank you so much Cara for all you did.
Dr. Cara Mitchell took great care with Leo during a difficult time for our family. She communicated with us every step of the way, and gave us time to ourselves to say goodbye. Forever grateful.
Dr. Mitchell was compassionate and professional while guiding us through the process of helping our dog cross the rainbow bridge. Our beloved dog lived to be 17 years old.
Dr. Cara was very compassionate & professional. I had never experienced having a pet euthanized . After Dr. Cara talked to us & explained the procedure, I knew I had made the right decision. It was actually a relief when my Bama went to sleep & was no longer in pain or suffering . Thank you for being there for us in a very difficult time .
