We’re Honored to Be Named the #1 Veterinarian in Surprise for 2026!
We’re truly honored to be voted the #1 Veterinarian in Surprise for 2026 by our client reviews, and even more grateful for the trust you place in us every day.
We are a local clinic in Surprise, Arizona, proudly owned by Dr. Jonathan Bycroft. Thank you for supporting our neighborhood practice and for trusting Dr. Bycroft and our team with your pets’ care.
From the moment we walked in, everyone was so incredibly kind, warm and welcoming.
I came in to get a quote for Nimai’s international health certificate for our upcoming trip to Germany and Dr. Jonathan Bycroft was absolutely wonderful.
He was so kind and caring with Nimai and made us both feel completely comfortable.
Susan was just as lovely and incredibly helpful. I truly appreciated how much time and care she gave us.
There was also a wonderful 3rd human assisting us in the room and I feel terrible that I can’t remember her name! I’m so sorry because she absolutely deserves to be mentioned too.
She was so sweet and gentle with Nimai and made our visit even nicer.
You can really feel how much this team cares about their patients.
Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome and, most of all, for being so loving with my little Nimai.
That means more to me than you know. 🐾❤️
Nimai says thank you for all the love, too. 🥰
This was our first time at CityVet in Surprise. Our dog Pixie can be nervous but her vet tech, Janessa, made her feel safe and comfortable. She did lunge at Dr Linehan but calmed down quickly. Sorry Doc! The care was outstanding and service was very friendly. We found our new vet home for our dog!
WE ARE FAMILY FRIDAY‼️🐾

Why does my dog snore? 🐾💤
Short answer: snoring happens when airflow gets partially blocked in your dog`s nose or throat during sleep, causing tissue to vibrate. It`s usually harmless — but not always.
Common causes:
Breed: flat-faced dogs like Pugs, Bulldogs & Boxers snore more due to shorter airways
Sleep position: snoozing on their back can block airflow
Weight & age: extra fat or looser throat muscles narrow the airway
Allergies: dust, pollen & smoke can irritate nasal passages
Medical issues: infections, respiratory problems, or sleep apnea
When to worry: sudden/louder snoring, labored breathing while awake, or snoring + coughing, discharge, or appetite changes.
Not sure if it`s normal? Book a visit, and we`ll help you (and your pup) sleep easy.
