It begins with caring... every patient, every client, every time.

Companion Stories

I use Care First whenever my dog needs extensive testing (an ultrasound, for instance). They have the equipment on site so they are the most flexible for scheduling.

Jill

Love love love Dr. Joe and his team. Such wonderful people! They have cared for our furry family members for nearly 25 years. Still the BEST vet in the area. Puppers are there right now for a much needed spa day. Dr Wages is one of the most amazing humans out there! She is never too busy to answer questions, or give advice. THANK YOU!!!

JJ

Can't say enough good things about this place. Amazing staff, clean office, quick to help.

Earle 

I love the way they take care of my babies. They seem to genuinely care for the wellbeing of their patients. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you for all you do.

Chris

They have been our vet for 27 years. We love them and they love our fur babies. Great staff and excellent doctors.

Tracie

Everyone was so nice and patient with the cats and me. Lots of available appointments and services. Recommended to me by others who have been there. Update: Just went back. Another 5 star visit!!

Suzanne

We used this vet for over 4 years for our indoor cat and rescue dog. The rescue has a kidney problem and the vet was very on top of her issue - so we felt supported. I loved and trusted these vets and they did such a great job!

Lauren

They are very sweet and caring here. I have taken my dog here since 2012. I have always been very satisfied with her care.

Sheila

I love Care First at Glenwood so much! They have taken such good care of all of my dog's needs, from grooming to vaccinations to boarding.

MC

5/5 star rating on this hospital! Every time I bring my dog and cat there, they take very good care of them and have even won over my animals. The staff are extremely kind and passionate about what they do. I fully recommend this hospital.

Why Us?

  • advantage

    Comprehensive Animal Care Services

    At Care First, we understand that it can be stressful to both you and your pet to go to not only the veterinarian, but also to the groomer, the boarding facility, and more. Because of this, Care First offers a comprehensive array of animal care services so that we can help meet all of you and your pet’s needs in as few trips as possible.

  • advantage

    Same Day Sick Pet Appointments

    After over 30 years, we are still committed to providing compassionate, accessible, quality veterinary care. To do our absolute best to be available when you need us the most, we reserve one same-day sick pet appointment per doctor per hour until that day.

  • advantage

    Privately Owned, Small Business

    Since opening in 1988, all Care First Animal Hospitals still remain to be a privately owned, small business. Remaining privately owned allows us to ensure that everything we do revolves around our vision of caring… every client, every patient, every time.

  • advantage

    Collaboration and Clinical Excellence

    We consider ourselves lucky to have a team of incredible veterinarians at all three of our locations. Twice weekly, our doctors meet for rounds to discuss complicated cases so that when needed, we have not just a second opinion, but a panel of veterinarians to help solve mystery cases. We also pride ourselves on staying on the forefront of medical advancements, as we offer minimally-invasive surgeries, such as laparoscopic spays and more!

love your pet
