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 Cara Mitchell was so compassionate and thoughtful as we had to make the difficult decision for our Maltese as the Cushings Disease had taken its toll on her body. The at home service helped our Mazie be as comfortable as possible in her last moments as Dr Cara explained everything ahead of time to let us know what each step would be. Thank you Dr Cara Mitchell.
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.
I was lucky enough to find DR. Cara Mitchell to assist with the passing of my sweet beautiful Daisy (my almost 12 year old Englishbulldog). Daisy got to pass away so peaceful in her bed at her home with the people who loved her. DR. Mitchell went beyond what I expected to make this a easy process for all of us. She is absolutely wonderful. I would recommend her to anyone going through this painful decision. I thank God for such a caring wonderful person. RIP Daisy 🩷
Great service on a terrible day. Very professional and kind. She let us reschedule to get one more day with our dog. She let us take our time during the Appt and even gave us a print of his paw as a keepsake. I would recommend this service to anyway having to go through this.
I highly recommend Dr. Cara Mitchel for home visits. It was time for my sweet boy, Eli, to go and I couldn’t bear taking him to the veterinary hospital. This way and the under loving care and expertise of Dr. Cara, Eli passed in peace in his home with all of his loved ones. Thank you and bless you, Dr. Cara Mitchell. Debbie DeCosta
