Seattle, WA

Mercer Street is nestled in downtown Seattle, right by the space needle. Our neighborhood is eclectic, vibrant, and deeply inclusive. Here, you will find incredible food, authentically human people, a thriving art scene, and many local businesses with great passion for their work. And, of course, nearly everyone here loves animals. We believe that Seattle is the best city on earth. It has this incredible way of making you feel finally at home. So join us, and live the life that you have always deserved.

We built Cara because we believe in a different approach to veterinary medicine. One that is all about connection. We are driven by a belief and excitement in helping humanity. Pets are such an integral part of that. They mean so much to us. They change our lives, touch our hearts, and even teach us how to be better people.

Many of our team members have a core memory of wanting to save an animal as a child. That has shaped who they have become. We will protect that flame. We invest in you. With training, education, benefits, and mentorship. With support, teamwork, and an unflinchable belief in you. With everything we do, we will empower you to change the lives of people and pets. And we'll help you make your inner child proud.

01

Put pets first.

Our first priority is always with the health, happiness, and comfort of our patients. Our care advice is based only on what is best for the pet. 

02

Trust the parent.

We trust parents to make the right decisions for themselves and their pets and invite them to actively participate in care alongside us. 

03

Authentically human.

Caring for a pet involves the full spectrum of emotions, from joy to grief. We know when to be fun, and when to be serious. At all times, we foster supportive, positive, and authentically human hospital culture. 

04

Good neighbors.

Although our business is growing, we retain the attitude and spirit of a neighborhood vet. We get to know our clients' families and are proud to play an active role in our local communities.

05

Shake things up.

We are always looking for a better way. In an industry that hasn't seen a lot of innovation, we are experimenting with new ways of delivering care, delighting customers, and infusing our hospitals with fresh ideas.
