Streetlevel: New Veterinarian for Fulton Street
This new signage for a soon-to-open veterinary clinic called Brooklyn Cares at 944 Fulton Street between St. James and Cambridge popped up at the end of last week.

This new signage for a soon-to-open veterinary clinic called Brooklyn Cares at 944 Fulton Street between St. James and Cambridge popped up at the end of last week. The clinic, which will specialize in holistic medicine for small animals (in addition to doing all the standard vet stuff), is slated to open on April 1. The website’s not live yet but you can reach them by calling 718-783-5500 or by emailing tim@brooklyncaresvet.com. It’s really great to see a new business (and peppy signage) in this heretofore forlorn stretch of Fulton Street. Good luck to them! GMAP
Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with the new vet business, and wish them much success.
I do agree with wasder, however, that there are some basic services that everyone in the area could use, the greengrocer being one. I’m still hoping the nascent Ft. Greene Clinton Hill Food Coop chooses a Fulton Street location.
Just to clarify, this vet practice will do all the normal stuff but will offer some more alternative approaches for those pet owners who are interested in that kind of thing.
Just to clarify, my vet in north brooklyn also specializes in holistic medicine for small animals and it doesn’t mean that is all they will do. They will also do standard western medicine as well if it is warranted and regular run of the mill checkups. And small pets would certainly include dogs. I think it’s great–we need more vets (and doctors for people for that matter) that are willing to look at wellness as a whole and not just treat everything with antibiotics.
In fact, a Tim recently left my vet’s office so I wonder if this is him setting up his own shop–that would be great!
“a greengrocer with good fruits and vegetables, something like the place a door or two down from Sahadi’s on Atlantic Avenue.”
there you go…practical, useful retail. Good call 1842.
Good luck to them, I wish them success.
You know what would make an absolute killing on this stretch, a greengrocer with good fruits and vegetables, something like the place a door or two down from Sahadi’s on Atlantic Avenue. Nothing fancy required, just lots of fresh fruit and vegetables at reasonable prices, with maybe some cut flowers for sale out front.
Sorry Frantic to be negative. It just struck me as ironic and funny that when we are all hoping for some new practical retail this is what crops up on Fulton. Got nothing against holistic pet medicine…
“holistic medicine for small animals”
Sometimes its like people want to fail.
And Rob? No where near where you live.
Bunch of haters…Give this guy a chance. I think he sounds very thoughtful.
