At CityVet - Our Purpose is Pets, Our Passion is People

Happy people. Healthy pets.

At CityVet, we believe healthy pets start with happy people. We know that making sure our employees are well taken care of and have everything they need goes hand in hand with a positive, and productive work environment.

Our local-ownership structure allows Lead Veterinarians the freedom to lead their clinic and provide unique people-centered care.  Each of our vet-led clinics follows the same people-first care when it comes to its employees and provides them with ample opportunities to become the leaders they aspire to be.

All pet lovers welcome
