Welcome to Caring Paws Animal Hospital Your family's 'other' Doctor!

At Caring Paws Animal Hospital, your pet's health and well-being are always our first priority. We work together as a family to provide exceptional medical care for your cherished companion.

Dr. Danielson and a furry friend

Dr. David Danielson has been practicing small animal and exotic veterinary medicine in the Tampa Bay area since 1994. He has enjoyed meaningful relationships with multiple generations of pet families, and cares for all pets as though they are his own. Our roots in the community run deep, and we couldn't be prouder of our longstanding association with Suncoast Animal League, a no-kill, no-time-limit animal rescue agency in Palm Harbor that has amassed global support on social media for its heroic, life-saving efforts.

Dr. Danielson has developed a reputation for solving complex, difficult to diagnose cases by digging deeper to reveal sometimes less-than-obvious clues to the source of a pet's distress. He likens his approach to that of a detective, sorting through clues and leaving no stone unturned until a resolution is achieved.

Caring Paws Animal Hospital is a family-owned practice whose mission is to deliver progressive and personalized veterinary care to families with cats, dogs, and exotic pets. We also place a high priority on ensuring our pet parents are well educated and highly informed on all aspects of their pet's health. Our staff will take the time necessary to fully explain all treatments and procedures to ensure you are comfortable with what is being done for your pet.

Dr. Danielson and his entire team look forward to welcoming you and your animal companions into the Caring Paws family. We are honored to have the opportunity to care for your best friend and help them live long, happy, and healthy lives!

We welcome you to tour our new, state-of-the-art animal hospital and meet our team of compassionate and extraordinary veterinary professionals.


Please don't hesitate to call us if you have any questions about our practice. We look forward to meeting you and providing your pets with a lifetime of compassionate, quality healthcare.

“My wife and I had to say good bye to our 14 year old German shepherd last week. From the moment we walked in I could feel the sincere compassion and care that all the staff had. Dr Danielson was super friendly and talked to us about our decision and explained everything extremely well. At no point did we feel rushed or pressured by the Dr. or any of the staff. Today I found out the team sent us flowers and words cannot describe how much that meant to my wife and myself.”

“We love Dr. Danielson, and wouldn't trust anyone else with our fur babies. He's helped us through some difficult losses, and been there for us for new beginnings. If you want a veterinarian who will treat you and your pets with kindness and patience, Caring Paws Animal Hospital is the place to go. The clinic is beautiful and inviting, and you'll feel welcome the moment you walk through the door.”
