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.
We’re still searching for answers, and Jasmine’s case has turned out to be an extremely unusual one, but the staff has continued to communicate with us, review her results, and help us figure out what direction to go next. It means a lot to have a veterinary team that doesn’t just brush off something complicated because the answer isn’t obvious.
Our family has been through a lot trying to find out what is wrong with her, and we’re incredibly grateful for the care, compassion, and effort CityVet has shown Jasmine along the way. We’re still hoping we can finally get some answers for her, and we appreciate everyone there who has continued trying to help.
Whether it’s a quick trip to the park or a weekend road trip, your dog deserves the same protection you do. A few simple steps can make every ride safer:
– Use a harness, never a collar. A collar puts all the force on your dog’s neck. A well-fitted harness spreads it across the chest.
– Choose a crash-tested restraint. Look for a harness or carrier certified by the Center for Pet Safety.
– Keep your dog in the back seat. Front airbags are designed for adult humans and can seriously injure a pet.
New to car restraints? Start with short drives so your dog gets used to the gear before your next big adventure.

Which fall plants are toxic to dogs and cats?
Fall decor is fun, but some seasonal plants can make pets sick. Here are six to watch for:
– Pumpkins & gourds: Fresh, plain pumpkin is generally safe, but mold on a rotting pumpkin can be toxic.
– Oak leaves & acorns: They contain tannins that can cause vomiting and diarrhea. Acorns can also be a choking or blockage risk.
– Autumn crocus: Every part of the plant is toxic and can cause severe illness.
– Tulips: All parts are toxic, and the bulbs are the most dangerous.
– Chrysanthemums (mums): The flowers, leaves and stems can cause drooling, vomiting and skin irritation.
– Lilies: Every part of a true lily, including the pollen and vase water, can cause kidney failure in cats.
What should you do if your pet eats a toxic plant? Don’t wait for symptoms. Call your nearest CityVet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 right away, and bring a photo of the plant if you can.

Can dogs eat pumpkin for Halloween? Yes!
Homemade pumpkin treats are a dog-safe alternative to Halloween candy. Just use 100% pure pumpkin with no sugar or spices, not pumpkin pie filling.
Mix 1 cup pumpkin, 2 eggs and 2½ cups oat flour. Then roll, cut and bake at 350°F for 20–30 minutes. Keep treats under 10% of your dog’s daily calories.
You’ll find the full recipe, plus soft and grain-free versions, on our blog at the link in our bio!
