My only complaint is that they are too expensive. One office visit with xray was $450.00. There is no way an xray should cost that much.
Did you know?!
Their eyes are built for spotting movement at a distance, leaving a blind spot at chin level — which is why a cat will paw around for a treat sitting directly in front of it.

What’s it really like to work at CityVet? Ask a Practice Manager who almost left veterinary medicine.
Clinton was ready to walk away from the field. Then a role at CityVet opened up — and it lined up with the values he already had.
Veterinary professionals — DVMs, techs, assistants, client care, practice managers — this is your kind of culture.

Why does my dog nibble on me?
Short answer: it`s usually communication, not aggression. That gentle "corn cobbing" with the front teeth almost always means one of four things:
– Affection: social grooming, the same way dogs groom packmates to bond
– Play: mouthing your hand is an invitation, not a bite
– Teething: puppies under ~7 months chew to soothe sore gums
– Bite inhibition: they`re learning how much pressure is okay
When to pay closer attention: a stiff body and hard stare, a low growl or snarl, or pressure that actually hurts. Those are stress signals, not play.
The fix for nuisance nibbling is redirection — the second you feel teeth, trade your hand for a chew toy. It teaches what to do instead of just saying no.

Why do cats chirp?
Cats chirp — also called chattering or chittering — as a short, high-pitched burst of sound triggered by focused excitement, usually when they spot prey like a bird outside the window.
What cat chirping usually means:
– Excitement or frustration while watching prey they can`t reach
– A possible attempt to mimic bird calls as a hunting strategy
– Friendly greeting or attention-seeking toward you
– Play mode — many cats chirp mid-pounce at a toy
Is it normal? Yes. Chirping is a healthy part of a cat`s vocal range, and kittens do it too. But if the chirping is persistent and paired with stress signals or other behavior changes, it`s worth a vet visit.
Best way to respond: give them something to hunt — a prey-like toy, dedicated play time, and a window with a good view.

Dogs sleep a lot—but how much sleep is actually normal?
The answer depends on their age, breed, activity level, and overall health. While puppies and senior dogs often need more rest, a sudden increase in sleep or changes in your dog`s energy could be a sign that something isn`t right.
Knowing the difference between normal napping and a potential health concern can help you catch problems early and keep your pup feeling their best.
Read our latest blog to learn:
• How many hours of sleep dogs really need
• When extra sleep is completely normal
• Signs it`s time to schedule a veterinary visit
