I have been taking my boy Goose to City Vet – Addison since he adopted me in 2020 and we have gotten nothing less than exceptional care and service EVERY TIME we visit!
Today’s shout out goes to Dr. Meriwether.
ALWAYS smiling and friendly even when it’s not the best news. Caring beyond measure and thorough. She will make sure you understand what is going on with your pet even if you have to ask more than once (like me)!
We (heart) City Vet – Addison!
Thank you for treating us like family.

Nothing says “I’m going home” like the key fob not opening the door to work… only to realize someone was opening it the whole time. 😂🤦🏽♀️ Too late — the walk back to the car had already begun. 🚗

🐾💦 Canine Water Safety Reminder! 💦🐾
Summer adventures are better when everyone stays safe—including our four-legged family members. Whether you’re heading to the pool, lake, or beach, remember to:
☀️ Use a brightly colored life jacket when needed
👂 Clean ears after swimming
🚫 Avoid water with algae blooms
💉 Keep up with preventatives and vaccinations
👀 Supervise pets around water at all times
A little prevention can go a long way toward keeping tails wagging all summer long! 🐶❤️
