I wish to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Douglas Margarucci at CARE for saving the life of my adorable Pony Boy. Pony presented with FIP, a complex, and very often fatal feline illness. He spent four days in their ICU receiving life saving care, followed by nearly six months of treatment and observation. Pony is living his best life now thanks to their expertise and guidance. Dr. Margarucci and his nurse treated me with warmth and compassion in a very dark period. I very highly recommend CARE, and urge all of you who are able, to support their foundation with a donation. They work so hard and give so much to assure the best outcome for our pets.

The entire team is wonderful. However. Dr. Lang gets extra credit with this case. I am lucky enough to be friends with her. She knew if I didn’t get my cat from the vet I took him to initially, he would die. She calmly told me I wanted to avoid traffic and the 6 pm power hour. We were dealing with a bladder blockage. I told her I couldn’t pick him up until 5. She said they can’t do that. It’s like me picking my child up from school. So I listened to her and got him there immediately. After everything was said and done, and he arrived at CARE, I realized it was her way of keeping me calm not to freak, he needed to be at CARE asap. She was right. The first vet did his surgery completely wrong. Care was afraid of organ damage, but I’m pleased to say Care’s love and attention, redoing his surgery & lots of prayer, saved my boy. He’s doing well and I am so thankful to everyone. This is the second cat they have saved for me. The first one was a mystery. I was staying with a friend and I walked into my room to find my cat covered in drool, seizing and smelled like death. I had no idea what it could be and neither did they, at first. After a hour or so of waiting while they ran tests and brainstormed everything, they asked me if there was any plants in the home. I called my friend and sure enough there was a peace lily that had been chewed. They’re extremely toxic to cats. He came home that night and thrived! I’m so thankful to the entire team! The guy who sets up appts for you to visit your baby, thank you for being honest with me. If he’s around he will know. With love from Kim and Phillip James

It is impossible to convey the anguish felt over devastating news regarding a much loved family member that happens to be canine. It is also hard to write words that convey the gratitude we have for Dr Jonathan Daniel and the staff at CARE. We were impressed by the thoroughness of Dr Daniel’s neurological evaluation. His impression of why Petey experienced his increasingly severe decline was spot on and confirmed by MRI findings. From the front desk to the wonderful vet assistants we couldn’t have asked for more. We left with medication and information to help us care for Petey and prepare for the end. I am so thankful that we were able to be seen in a timely manner at CARE rather than waiting for an appointment at a specialty clinic closer to home- a three hour drive was validated by the excellent veterinary care we received.

Dr. Walters, Aimee, and the CARE team cared for our dog Barney with compassion and kindness after his bladder cancer diagnosis. When it was time to say goodbye, their empathy and support were invaluable. We are so grateful for the extra time we were given together thanks to the care they provided.

Dr. Walters and her team in the oncology department are so wonderful! They have taken excellent care of our precious senior dog and always communicate any issues very clearly and thoroughly with us. We are so very thankful for CARE. We also needed to use their emergency care for the first time this year for (unbeknownst to us) an Addison’s disease episode and by the time I got to the vet with him, he had no detectable pulse. The front desk staff called the vet team up so fast, they got him in for triage immediately, and saved his life. I am so very thankful for this vet and can’t recommend them enough.
