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.

Dr. Mitchell was wonderful. She was very caring with our pet and our family durning a difficult time. I would highly recommend Dr. Mitchell.
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.
Dr. Mitchell, Thank you again for facilitating such a gracious passing experience for all of us. You made every family member feel seen, supported, and loved through a difficult time and decision. Your approach was tender and calming and we will never forget you. You are a gift to all animal lovers.
They are not enough words to express how thankful I am for Dr.Cara and her in home services. She was so compassionate and professional during such a heard time for us. Our sweet boy was 15+ years old and I'm thankful he was able to be in the comfort of his own home. I feel for anyone having to make the decision but I couldn't recommend Dr.Cara Mitchell enough.
Dr Mitchell Could not have been better. Gentle, patient, compassionate, thorough. My baby did not suffer any anxiety whatsoever and had the most peaceful passing. So much better than the traditional animal hospital euthanasia. Worth every penny of the fee. Will highly recommend to friends & coworkers that may need her service.
I was devastated when I came to the realization that my Mazie girl was so sick that she wasn’t going to get better. I dreaded the final moments of her life ending in a place she hated to go. Thank goodness a friend reached out to me about Dr. Cara Mitchell! Dr. Mitchell came to the house where Mazie would take her final journey. Mazie was at ease (as much as possible). Dr . Mitchell explained step by step what was going to happen. Dr. Mitchells hugs and tears along with mine told me all I needed to know about her! I would highly recommend Cara Mitchell if you are facing the heart wrenching decision to put your fur baby to sleep. Dr. Mitchell is so patient, caring and understanding not to rush you with the final goodbye to your precious fur baby.
