I would highly recommend Caring Hands to all pet owners! I live out of town and, with cats howling, I drive the 20 minutes to see what I think are the best vets in the area. Ive been taking my cats to Caring Hands for 10+ years and have seen the same friendly office staff/vet assistants over the years(which I believe speaks volumes about the doctors and business in general). They are knowledgeable, friendly and take the time to discuss any questions or concerns I have about my cats. I also like that Caring Hands is reasonably priced and never tries to convince me to run unnecessary tests, etc. Caring Hands sincerely wants your pet to have the best quality of life possible. & when the time comes the staff are very compassionate having to euthanize your pet and even make a mold of their paw print for you to keep. If you love and cherish your pet like a member of your family you should definitely try Caring Hands. Meow!

We love Caring Hands! There are so many small things that theyve done for us that really make them stand out. The staff always puts my slightly anxious pup at ease by feeding him plenty of cookies throughout the visit. The vet and techs will sit down on the floor to examine my dog rather than make an uneasy dog get up high on a table (I didnt even think to ask them to, they just did!). When I tried to order heart worm pills online, the vet Curt found a cheaper deal for me with a rebate through their office. They figured out how to arrange regular dog care (vaccines and tests) to save me the most money. Most importantly, when I thought my dog ate a battery (false alarm, thank God), Caring Hands talked me through it on the phone and called ahead to the emergency vet to let them know we were coming. When I arrived in a panic, everything was set up and Caring Hands had already sent over my dogs vet record.

These folks truly DO care about you and your pets! Not long ago, an abandoned cat found my family. We took him to Caring Hands to be scanned for microchip and assessed for health. Everyone was very professional yet personable and pleasant--office staff, techs, and Dr. Thurman. They took plenty of time to examine the cat and to answer an inexperienced pet-parents many questions. They provided an estimate of current and future care costs and even loaned us a cat carrier for transport! Cat is now happily a part of our family; had neutering surgery today, and the folks at Caring Hands were kind enough to phone us when he woke from procedure to let us know everything was ok! Years ago we had a pet and chose a hospital from a Yellow Pages ad in neighboring city... So glad that this time we chose Caring Hands--wouldnt go anywhere else now!

My pup has been going there since she was well a pup :) All the staff there are excellent and friendly! Dr. Buraglio has been awesome. Making sure that my dog is well taken care of and that Sweetie is in good health. Telling me what I need to do to improve on and what is my next step. The staff all seem to understand that going to the vet can be a stressful experience for pets and treats them with such kindness. Also, the staff doesnt change every time you go in so you can get to know them and they get to know you and your pet. This to me is very important. I forgot to mention they are like awesome. They have just about anything you need in house. Lab work. X-ray, etc. Prices are low to reasonable. I honestly wouldnt take Sweetie anywhere else.

We have been bringing our pets to Caring Hands for over 25 years and even though we moved and now pass multiple vets on the way to the office, we come to Dr. Curt and Dr. Rebecca because they truly exemplify the idea of "caring hands." I count on them to give me solid advice and answer any questions honestly. They give us options so that we can make the best choices for our pets and family. Unfortunately, we have had to put several animals down and they have always been sensitive to our needs and let us take our time with our pet. The staff has helped us find pet sitters and given us first aid options over the phone without trying to sell us something. LOVE THIS PLACE!

We have been taking our dog to Caring Hands for almost a decade. We (and Reese) love Dr. Buraglio, Gigi, Nancy, and all of the vet techs. Theyve always shown genuine care and concern for our dog, no matter whether shes been healthy or dealing with difficult to diagnose issues in her later years. Dr. Buraglio has been so helpful. She listens and takes the time to answer all of our questions. Theyve been very accommodating when we have needed to schedule appointments, even on short notice. We highly recommend Caring Hands!

After going to a few different vets in the CU area, I finally found Caring Hands Animal Hospital and stuck with it because everyone on the staff was fantastic. I have called CHAH with small issues and they are always helpful on the phone and only have me come in if they really feel my dogs actually need to which is a relief in itself. On occasion, they have even called to check on my pups health progress. I always feel that Im getting the best advice and best care all paired with a fantastic, honest staff.

I always get personalized and friendly attention for my dog whenever I call or visit Caring Hands. It amazes me that the staff always remember me and my dogs name before I have to tell them. Its better service than I get for my own medical care! I moved a few years ago and could take my dog to another veterinary hospital closer to home, but I wouldnt even consider it. I trust the care and advise I get for Hannah there completely.

Dr. Thurman has been the attending veterinarian for my pets for many years, even before he opened Caring Hands. He, Dr. Buraglio and their staff have always been extremely helpful, kind, understanding and medically efficient in their care of my pets over the many years. Their staff are also very helpful not only at the clinic but also with extra help for my pets at home. I do appreciate Caring Hands so very much.

We couldnt be happier with all the staff at Caring Hands! Theyre all friendly, and knowledgeable. We switched to them from another vet in town- and now I tell all my friends "Go to Caring Hands! You wont regret it!" They truely care about the animals they care for. Also, they dont push extra bloodwork/testing that a pet doesnt necessarily need (Ex. "senior" exams/blookwork that are pushed at other clinics).

Dr. Thurman and the other people at Caring Hands have seen me many times in the more than 20 years I have taken my cats there. I always felt they were almost happy to go, and loved the hugs from Dr. Thurman even though they didnt always like the medecine. Capable, truly caring, and flexible with schedules when animals need it, the personnel gives honest answers and reasonable prices. Lenrose Jahiel

I have taken both my dogs to Caring Hands since they were 7 weeks old. I wouldnt go anywhere else. Dr. Curt and Dr. Rebecca are knowledgeable, gentle, and patient, and I trust their advice. My first dog had multiple problems (torn ACL, hip dysplasia, cancer), and she lived to be 15, thanks to their care. The staff are also wonderful! I cant say enough good things about everyone at Caring Hands.
