From the moment you walk into the room, you’re met with a warm, genuine personality and a smile that immediately puts both you and your pet at ease. She’s attentive in a way that’s increasingly rare, she never rushes, never makes you feel like she’s watching the clock. She takes her time, gets down to your dog’s level, and treats each animal like they’re her only patient that day.
What really sets her apart is how thoroughly she explains everything. She answers questions in detail and in plain language, so you actually understand what’s going on, what your options are, and why she’s recommending a particular course of action. Her reports are top-notch, clear, detailed, and organized — so you leave with a real record of the visit rather than a few scribbled notes.
She also follows up. Whether it’s checking in after a treatment or making sure a medication is working, she stays engaged well after you’ve left the office. She takes every concern seriously, no matter how small it might seem, and never makes you feel like you’re overreacting as a pet parent.
Finding a vet you trust completely is hard, and Dr. Walsh has earned that trust many times over. My dog is in the best possible hands with her, and I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated veterinarian.
Happy Father`s Day from our CityVet family to yours!
We`re so proud to celebrate the incredible dads — showing up with heart, dedication, and a whole lot of love for both their patients and their families every day.
Today we`re celebrating all kinds of dads, even the dads who come home smelling like pets (occupational hazard). However you do it, and whoever calls you dad, you make a difference! Wishing every kind of father out there a wonderful day.

Pet owners often wonder, “Do cats get hot?” The answer is yes, and knowing how to help them is vital. Cats have a natural ability to handle heat, but they can still overheat. Recognizing the signs of discomfort is key to keeping them safe.

The nictitating membrane sweeps horizontally across the eye to help keep it moist, clear away debris, and provide extra protection — kind of like a built-in windshield wiper!

Ever wonder why your dog rolls in the grass right after a bath?
While it may seem counterproductive, this common behavior can help dogs dry off, cope with strong bath scents, and reconnect with familiar smells in their environment.
Learn more about the science behind this post-bath habit in our latest blog by Dr. Raskin at CityVet | Roswell at the link in our bio!
& let us know— has your dog ever headed straight for the grass after bath time?
