When a dog destroys everything, the cause usually falls into one of three categories: intense boredom (a need for activity), panic when left alone (a need for security, often seen as dog destructive behavior when left alone), or a natural instinct to chew or dig without a proper outlet. Identifying the driving need is the key to finding the right solution, especially if dog anxiety destructive behavior is part of the picture.

Being named a Great Place To Work for the 4th consecutive year is an honor, but what makes this recognition meaningful is the people behind it! Every day, our teams show up for each other, our clients, and the pets who depend on us with compassion, collaboration, and purpose.

As a devoted pet parent, you know that keeping your furry best friend hydrated is a top priority, especially during the sweltering summer months or after a rigorous game of fetch. But sometimes, plain water just isn’t enough to replenish what your dog has lost. You might find yourself wondering, "can dogs have electrolytes?”

What makes a great veterinary experience? It`s more than medical expertise—it`s compassion!
When pets feel safe, and clients feel heard, it creates better care for everyone involved. At CityVet, we believe kindness is just as important as clinical excellence, and we`re grateful to hear that reflected in the words used to describe us.
Jul 14
Did you know?!
Unlike us (and even dogs), cats are missing the taste receptor gene that allows them to detect sweet flavors. As true carnivores, their taste buds are designed to help them seek out protein instead.
Understanding how your cat experiences the world can help you make informed choices about their nutrition and keep them happy and healthy!

Thank you for everything you’ve done for my two babies
My dog has been so scared at previous vet visits, that she needed to be muzzled and they wanted me to sedate her. This team has been completely different. They let me stay with her, hold her during bloodwork, and perform all of her care right in the exam room with me. Because they are so patient and compassionate, she doesn’t even need her muzzle anymore.
Their gentle, fear-free approach has made an incredible difference for my dog, and I’m so grateful to have found them.

More walks are great—but they`re only part of the equation! 🐾 Healthy weight loss starts with the right nutrition and portion control.
If your dog needs to lose weight, focus on:
🐾 Feeding the right calorie amount
🥣 Measuring portions accurately
🚶 Increasing daily activity
👩⚕️ Working with your veterinarian to create a safe weight-loss plan
For safe, sustainable weight loss, combine portion control, a balanced diet, and regular physical activity. Small, consistent changes can make a big difference in helping your dog reach and maintain a healthy weight. 🐾

Don`t be fooled by the label! 🐾 Grain-free or natural doesn`t automatically mean lower calories. Healthy weight loss starts with the right calorie intake.
If your dog needs to lose weight, focus on:
🐾 Feeding the right calorie amount
🥣 Measuring portions accurately
🚶 Increasing daily activity
👩⚕️ Working with your veterinarian to create a safe weight-loss plan
Don`t let marketing claims distract you from what really matters. A balanced diet and consistent calorie management are the foundation of healthy, sustainable weight loss.

The only issue I had was after I asked a simple question about the difference between the estimate I signed and the final invoice. I wasn’t disputing the charges at all—I was simply looking for clarification, which I think is a normal question for any client to ask. While waiting, I could clearly hear the Doctor discussing me from another area with other people. Being able to hear that conversation felt really unprofessional and uncomfortable.
Overall, the experience was good, but the lack of professionalism in that situation was off putting.

Unfortunately, we had to put down our girl. The doctor and staff not only walked us through everything, but they gave our family time and space to grieve.
We are so thankful to CityVet for their care, their patience, and their compassion. We will most certainly continue relying on this location for our pet health needs.
They understood that we were out of town and expecting to travel back home the next day. Their treatment recommendations took this into account and provided us with options that worked with our situation, while still putting our dogs needs at the top of the priority. The Dr. was very patient with all my questions and very thorough in explaining the pros and cons of each.
I’m really thankful for the team that helped us and followed up with us a few days later to see we were doing. Thank you for all your help!

Thank you
What sets this office apart is their honesty and transparency. They clearly explain the essential treatment my dog truly needs, while also offering additional options that could help keep her more comfortable. I never feel pressured into unnecessary services or medications.
I also greatly appreciate that they provide a clear range of expected costs upfront, which helps avoid surprises and allows me to make informed decisions. They work with me to focus on what is most important for my dog’s health while still keeping care affordable.
Another huge plus is their availability. Whenever I call, they are usually able to see my dog within 24 hours, which has been incredibly helpful with my schedule and during stressful situations.
Overall, this office provides compassionate, practical, and affordable care. The veterinarian is genuinely kind, and I always leave feeling confident that my dog received excellent treatment.

When a dog destroys everything, the cause usually falls into one of three categories: intense boredom (a need for activity), panic when left alone (a need for security, often seen as dog destructive behavior when left alone), or a natural instinct to chew or dig without a proper outlet. Identifying the driving need is the key to finding the right solution, especially if dog anxiety destructive behavior is part of the picture.

As a devoted pet parent, you know that keeping your furry best friend hydrated is a top priority, especially during the sweltering summer months or after a rigorous game of fetch. But sometimes, plain water just isn’t enough to replenish what your dog has lost. You might find yourself wondering, "can dogs have electrolytes?”

What makes a great veterinary experience? It`s more than medical expertise—it`s compassion!
When pets feel safe, and clients feel heard, it creates better care for everyone involved. At CityVet, we believe kindness is just as important as clinical excellence, and we`re grateful to hear that reflected in the words used to describe us.

Did you know?!
Unlike us (and even dogs), cats are missing the taste receptor gene that allows them to detect sweet flavors. As true carnivores, their taste buds are designed to help them seek out protein instead.
Understanding how your cat experiences the world can help you make informed choices about their nutrition and keep them happy and healthy!
