They even have a chiropractor and acupuncturist, Dr Barbie, she comes to the clinic to help treat the patients who need her. She was so kind and very knowledgeable helping put my anxious mind at ease as well as helping my dog feel less pain and encourage healing.
I have multiple animals and have been to 5 veterinary clinics this year due to either an emergency or recheck appointments and was scoping out what clinic I would prefer for my primary clinic and hands down it is this CityVet location. The receptionist are really nice and helpful, the techs have been kind and knowledgeable, the Dr we saw was Dr Shanks, you can really tell she cares deeply and loves her job.

🐾 A little sister day at CityVet Lake Worth 🐾
Scarlet got to enjoy a relaxing spa day with our groomer, Cameo, getting pampered and looking her best. 🛁 Meanwhile, her sister Savannah was on the veterinary side getting an ultrasound and bloodwork to help us take a closer look at her health. 🩺💕
Two sisters, two very different kinds of care — and we loved getting to take care of them both! 🥰

🐾 Helping pets feel their best—inside and out! 💕
Did you know chiropractic care and acupuncture can be beneficial for dogs of all ages? Dr. Barbie uses these complementary therapies to help support comfort, mobility, and overall well-being.
Acupuncture and chiropractic care may be especially helpful for pets dealing with arthritis, stiffness, back or neck discomfort, mobility changes, recovery from injury, or chronic pain. They can also be a great addition to a senior pet’s care plan to help keep them comfortable and moving as they age. 🐶
And the best part? Many of our patients find their sessions incredibly relaxing. 💗
Interested in learning whether acupuncture or chiropractic care with Dr. Barbie could benefit your pet? Give CityVet Lake Worth a call or text us to schedule a consultation! 🐾
