Our dog is HIGH ANXIETY ; The entire staff & Dr. Ramano worked to calm him down, they were very attentive and knowledgeable. The Dr. & the assistant both took time answering our questions!
We are super excited about City Vet being our NEW vet !!!
So refreshing to find a vet and a business that I truly enjoy visiting!
Every visit was met with warmth, kindness, and genuine care. The staff is welcoming, compassionate, and always made us feel valued. Scheduling appointments was easy, and we were consistently greeted with friendly smiles when we arrived. Most importantly, everyone treated Max with incredible gentleness and love. It was obvious that they truly cared about him.
Dr. Romano is exceptional. In a time when many medical appointments can feel rushed, he always took the time to sit with us, thoroughly explain Max’s condition, discuss treatment options, and answer every question we had. He never made us feel hurried and was remarkably patient, thoughtful, and thorough.
As Max entered the final stage of his life, Dr. Romano’s empathy and guidance meant more to our family than words can express. He helped us navigate difficult decisions with compassion, honesty, and understanding. We felt supported every step of the way.
We are deeply grateful to Dr. Romano and the entire City Vet team for the outstanding care they provided to Max and for the kindness they showed our family. I cannot recommend City Vet highly enough. If you are looking for a veterinary practice that combines medical excellence with genuine compassion, this is the place.
River Lee had surgery today to remove a tumor from the bottom of his paw. 🐾💙
He’s on strict orders for 10 days of rest! no running, no jumping, no zoomies, no drama… well, probably some drama.
Huge thanks to Dr. Frank Romano and Natalie for taking such good care of him and helping his dads make sense of everything.
Now we heal, snack, nap, and accept all good vibes. 💙
Mr Man got to go see the doctor for a issue with his paw. He was treated with kindness, empathy & some prescription wipes & lots of treats! plus he is a pitmix and a real flirt with the ladies so I think we are definitely invited back. The staff is very friendly and we fell in love with Jessica right away.
Not only are they very affordable, but they also offer several payment options — including Affirm. Most importantly, the entire staff, from the front office to the techs and the doctor, are truly God-sent. I can honestly see why Jesus led me to them.
Everyone is incredibly friendly, professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and caring. At no point did I ever feel judged for being overly protective of my fur baby. They were patient, understanding, supportive, and treated both me and D’Jango with so much love and care.
If you are looking for a place to call home for your pet’s healthcare, please give them a visit. After one visit, you won’t need to look anywhere else.
Thank you all so much for everything you’ve done for D’Jango. His sister, CocoaBudda, can’t wait to meet you, and I’m sure she will love you just as much as he did. See you all again soon!
Dilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the most common cardiomyopathy in dogs.
The disease results in an enlarged (dilated) heart due to heart muscle thinning and weakening, eventually leading to systolic dysfunction and congestive heart failure (CHF).
In cats with proper taurine levels, the disease is now very rare.
Common dog breeds affected include Dobermans, Boxers, Great Danes, Newfoundlands, Irish Wolfhounds, and Saint Bernards.
There is also a form of this disease linked to grain-free diets in dogs, with atypical breeds represented. Please use caution when feeding grain-free diets, and consult your veterinarian on nutrition recommendations.
Hereditary disease forms unfortunately have a poor prognosis since the primary disease state can’t be fixed. Nutritional-related disease forms carry a better prognosis, and can often be reversed with proper identification and treatment.

April is National Heartworm Awareness Month!
Heartworms are parasitic worms 🪱, spread by mosquitoes 🦟 , that can infect dogs 🐕 and cats 🐈and live in blood vessels in their heart🫀and lungs 🫁. Advanced infestations can cause serious cardiovascular or respiratory disease, and can cause permanent organ damage and even death.
5 things for pet owners to know about heartworm prevention:
1. Cats 🐈 can get heartworms too!
2. Dogs 🐕 can be exposed to heartworms year-round and indoors
3. Standard screening tests have a 6 month lag between exposure and a detectable infestation
4. Prevention is the easiest treatment
5. Prevention is the safest treatment

Continuing our series on the heart, today’s focus is HCM – hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This is the most prevalent cardiac disease in cats!
The hallmark of this disease is thickened muscle in the left ventricle, which can lead to reduced chamber size and diastolic dysfunction, dynamic outflow tract obstruction and systolic dysfunction, and ultimately left atrial enlargement resulting in congestive heart failure or thromboembolism.
Many cases remain subclinical, however some cases have no warning signs before onset of severe adverse events!
Proper screening can help diagnose and manage the disease, and avoid risks such as anesthesia, IV fluid overload, and steroids.
After ruling out hyperthyroidism and hypertension, treatment considerations include:
1. Atenolol – a beta blocker used for rate control when outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO / HOCM) is present
2. Clopidogrel – an anti-platelet medication used to prevent clots, usually when left atrial enlargement is present
3. Felycin (sirolimus) – a new therapy approved for sub clinical HCM, shown to improve thickening of the left ventricular muscle
4. Diuretics and other interventions as needed for the complication of congestive heart failure

A recent study showed 9/10 dogs preferred a canine veterinary provider (though 0/10 cats felt the same).
To better serve our patients and provide a more welcoming environment, we’ve added a furry pawed dogtor to the team! Dr. Honey is excited to recommend more treats, walks, and cuddles for all patients. Bookings are now open!
Happy April Fool’s day everyone!

Today we’re covering all the ways we assess cardiovascular function. A full evaluation is much more than the initial physical exam:
1. Full physical exam, including heart auscultation of murmurs and rhythm disturbances, lung auscultation, pulse and perfusion assessment, and basic vitals.
2. Radiograph imaging to assess cardiac size and related lung pathology
3. Echocardiogram to assess cardiac structures and function
4. Systemic blood pressure screening, evaluating for hyper- or hypotension
5. ECG/EKG, evaluating electrical rhythm of the heart
6. NT-proBNP screening, indicating cardiac muscle stress
