Caring Hands Pet clinic and Shop

Yes, gentle handling and follow-up are two of the clearest signals in the review analysis. The KG shows friendly staff as the top praise theme with 17 mentions, and handling appears 9 times in the NER aspect tags. One reviewer said the team "always call to see how our dogs are doing," even after routine gaps, while another called the doctor "kind, knowledgeable, and patient." That pattern is useful for nervous dogs, cats, and first-time pet parents who need extra reassurance. If your pet is anxious, tell the staff before the visit and ask whether the same doctor can handle the check-up and follow-up.

Dr. Shrikant is the doctor name that appears most clearly in the KG notes for this listing. The NER summary finds Dr. Shrikant twice, with Dr. Khade and Dr. Shrikant Khade also appearing in individual mentions, so the same doctor may be referenced in different ways by reviewers. One comment mentions Shrikant Khade as kind and attentive towards cats and stray cats. The broader review themes also mark skilled doctor with 6 mentions and trustworthy with 12 mentions. For a first visit, ask whether Dr. Shrikant Khade is available for the consultation, especially if your pet has a recurring condition that needs continuity.

Pet parents should ask for the diagnosis, expected recovery window, and cost estimate before treatment starts. The review data suggests the clinic has handled urgent stomach cases, but outcomes are mixed enough to ask direct questions. One reviewer said their dog had severe gastroenteritis and needed immediate care, which appears under the friendly staff and trustworthy themes. The KG also records infection 3 times and diarrhoea once in condition mentions. However, another quote says a bloody diarrhoea case cost 15k and the dog was still not recovered. For vomiting, diarrhoea, or dehydration, confirm tests, medicines, fluids, and follow-up timing in writing.

Billing feedback is not a major complaint theme, but pet parents should still ask for estimates on serious cases. The KG has only 1 upselling-related complaint, and the quote is actually positive: "Doctor treated very genuinely, without any reason not doing extra bills." At the same time, one unresolved bloody diarrhoea review mentions a 15k charge, so costs can rise when tests, injections, fluids, or repeat visits are involved. There are no stable price mentions in the KG data. Before treatment, ask what is essential today, what can wait, and whether medicines are billed separately. That keeps the visit clearer without assuming a fixed budget.

The KG has useful but limited signals for cats, stray cats, and one small-pet case. A reviewer mentioned Shrikant Khade as kind and attentive towards cats and stray cats, and the NER breed/species summary includes Stray once and Guinea Pig once. Another quote says the team is knowledgeable and caring when it comes to guinea pig care. There is also a caution: one kitten infection review says the issue was not recognised until the owner insisted something was wrong. If you bring a cat, rescue, or small pet, carry previous records and be specific about appetite, stool, skin, and behaviour changes.

Yes, the listed hours are practical for evening visits, but they should not be treated as a confirmed emergency service. The listing data shows 10am-9:30pm from Monday to Saturday and 10am-10pm on Sunday, which gives working pet parents a broad window after office hours. The review analysis also flags limited hours for emergency situations, so late-night or critical cases may need a separate emergency hospital. The listing has a phone number, +91 90288 57286, and a website for checking current availability. Call before leaving home, explain symptoms clearly, and confirm whether a doctor can see your pet that same day.
