My new fur baby ‘Tilley’ was such a good girl during multiple visits to see Jess who was very kind to her. We will be back.
Kristy Burrell
Fabulous experience. Really happy with the level of care and personalised attention from Jess and all the lovely staff. Very upfront with costs and prompt communication with updates or concerns.

Dr. Jessica and Kayleen at Caring Paws were warm, genuine, and very thorough with our dog. We felt listened to and never rushed, which we really appreciated. Everything was explained clearly and the visit was kept calm. First impression was excellent. Dr Jess exhibited a professional warmth that was very endearing.

Unfortunately, I needed to take one of my cavaliers to the vet recently. As I considered the matter urgent, I rang a new vet who was close by. I am so glad I did. Jess, Kayleen and Reanna could not have been more caring and could not have paid more attention to detail. Their care was evident as soon as I walked in the door. Jess, especially was excellent at keeping me updated on progress and was happy to discuss my dog's treatment in as much detail as I needed. I was so happy I had rung Caring Paws Veterinary Care as I couldn't have chosen better care. My 2 cavaliers and I are proud to be considered part of the Caring Paws family. Thank you.

Dr Jessica, thank you so much for taking care of Mum fur baby "Blackie" mum and I are extremely grateful to you and the team at caring paws for fitting us in and making sure this little Earth Angel has medicine and support. We would recommend your Vet Services in Vermonth South area.

The receptionist was very helpful and kind. The clinic was clean and comfortable. Dr Jessica was very professional and knowledgeable. After my puppy took the prescribed medication, he was already feeling much better by the evening.

We love Dr Jess.
We have a 6 year old dog who is anxious and anti social and Dr Jess is so patient, loving and caring to our boy Zeus
It can be difficult and stressful trying to get him to the vet but Dr Jess has certainly made this less stressful for all of us
Dr Jess is always happy to have a chat and answer any questions we have and we highly recommend caring paws. All the staff are so caring
Thank you Dr Jess ❤️
Chloe
Highly recommend Dr Jessica as a vet! The clinic was in a great and accessible location, and she was incredibly kind and thorough during our cat’s consultation. She took the time to answer our questions and concerns with patience and friendliness! We felt well looked after at her clinic!

We can’t thank the team at Caring Paw Veterinary enough, especially Jessica, for the wonderful care they provided to our Bella.
Because Bella was born with a congenital kidney abnormality, we were naturally very worried about her desexing surgery. Jessica took the time to answer all of our questions with incredible professionalism, patience, and compassion. She explained everything clearly and did her best to reassure us, which really helped ease our anxiety.
The surgery went very smoothly, and we’re so grateful that Bella remained stable throughout the procedure with excellent monitoring results. Knowing she was in such capable hands gave us tremendous peace of mind.
The post-operative care instructions were also exceptionally thorough, including guidance on wound care, the wound review appointment, and suture removal. Jessica and her nursing team are not only highly skilled but also genuinely caring and dedicated to their patients.
After moving to the area, we feel incredibly lucky to have found such an amazing veterinary clinic. We’ll definitely be bringing our cats here in the future as well.
Thank you again to Jessica and the entire Caring Paw Veterinary team for taking such wonderful care of Bella. ❤️

My pets have a habit of always breaking when my Vets are closed or too busy to squeeze me in. I went to Caring Paws because they had flexible hours & availability, & was blown away by the care my dog received. Dr Jess was so lovely, caring & knowledgeable plus the prices were very reasonable. I'll be back!
