Our Philosophy
The Caring Hands philosophy is centered around protecting and enhancing the human-animal bond during every aspect of the client experience. Naturally, this involves providing exceptional companion care and utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. Practically speaking, it also means that the layout of a Caring Hands hospital is open, with many windows, so that even if a pet is in surgery, a client can see through to the surgery room and gain comfort by knowing that Doctors and staff are attentive and caring. Our veterinarians perform exams and draw blood in front of the client, so that the pet has the benefit of a comforting owner, and so that the owner remains bonded with the pet throughout the experience. Caring Hands is also flexible and accommodating with clients, never refusing to see a client, even if they fail to arrive at the time of their appointment. If a client walks in 5 minutes prior to closing, we stay late to meet their needs. If a client has a question after discharge, a veterinarian is always available to help them, even outside of normal business hours. This approach to clients and companion care is foundational to who we are, and we believe is also foundational to our success.
Advanced Veterinary Care

The Hallmarks of Advanced Veterinary Medical Care are:
- Exceptional patient care
- Exceptional transparent customer experience for both the pet and the owner
- Premium priced
