Much to my pets’ dismay, I love going there. Every single person in the clinic is exceptionally kind, perceptive, and respectful. One of my dogs is terrified of the vet and “slams on her brakes” at the door. When I alerted the staff, their amazing tech walked right out to the car and gently scooped her up in their arms—and she is a 50-pound dog! The tech carried her both ways, taking their time and respecting her needs completely. My dog was thrilled to get back to the car afterward, but she wasn’t traumatized at all because of how calmly they handled her.
They are straightforward and discuss your options without pushing you into debt. Most importantly, when you are dealing with an aging animal, this is the empathetic group you want standing beside you through those tough decisions.
The name CityVet gave me pause at first due to my thoughts that it would be a corporate-feeling vet, but it’s the absolute antithesis of corporate—it’s a true family vet. Our local family vet retired so we’ve been looking for the right place. The Dr. Burgins and teammates are now a permanent part of our lives!
On top of the stellar care, they do thoughtful extras like holiday hot chocolate bars and fun seasonal photo setups. I even envy how beautifully decorated and perfectly clean their restroom is! I highly recommend CityVet!
We already back outside to enjoy summer!
My other kitten Roux is simply spoiled rotten by Dr. B (female). He gets all his preventive care done here routinely. Churus for every nail trim and lots of love by the entire staff. Their kindness, attentiveness, and dedication makes all the difference. Simply amazing care from start to finish.
If you have not already, please sign up for the packages they offer, it saved me alot of money for my kiddos preventive care and included neutering. Talk with the practice manager, she is awesome!!

I’ve been bringing my dog to Dr. Nazari for about six months now, and I can honestly say he has made this whole experience so much less intimidating. As a first-time dog owner, I had a million questions and more than a little anxiety — and Dr. Nazari has been patient, kind, and genuinely reassuring every single visit.
What sets him apart is that he actually takes his time. He doesn’t rush through appointments, he listens, and he explains things clearly so I always leave feeling informed and confident rather than confused or worried.
I also deeply appreciate that he’s practical and honest. He’s never pushed unnecessary tests or treatments just to pad a bill — he gives straightforward, trustworthy guidance and recommends only what my dog truly needs. That kind of integrity is rare and means everything.
Dr. Nazari has earned my complete trust. My fur son- Ricky Ricardo is in the very best hands, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾

My pet received excellent care, and I really appreciated how thorough and compassionate everyone was. The clinic was clean, organized, and ran smoothly, which made the whole experience even better.
I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone looking for a veterinary team that is knowledgeable, caring, and genuinely puts their patients first. Thank you to everyone for such a positive experience!
One thing that really stands out is how well they follow up after appointments. They always make sure we have everything we need, from clear instructions to answering questions, so we feel confident caring for Smudgy at home.
It’s been a journey getting her gut healthy since we first brought her home, but thanks to their guidance and support, she’s made so much progress. It’s clear they truly care about both their patients and their owners. We’re so grateful to have found such a compassionate and dedicated veterinary team. Highly recommend!
Recently, my fur child was experiencing some common tummy issues that had seemingly resolved, but I still had a strong “gut feeling” that something wasn’t quite right. When I shared some of the subtle symptoms behind the initial issues, Dr. C was incredibly patient and collaborative. She helped me navigate potential diagnoses and mapped out a smart, practical starting point for testing that didn’t break the bank.
Thanks to her guidance and willingness to listen to my instincts, my dog was diagnosed with a lifetime condition that is now well-managed and simple to treat. Had I not had Dr. C by our side, I don’t know if we ever would have figured it out.
Throughout the entire process, she always offered clear options and communicated with me regularly. As an added bonus, the clinic is open on weekends and outside of standard working hours, which makes scheduling incredibly easy.
I felt completely heard, valued, and cared for as a pet parent. Most importantly, I knew my dog was in the absolute best hands. She is a vet who truly, deeply cares about the animals she treats! My deepest heartfelt gratitude to her and her team!!
Dr. Cleary and her staff treated Annie with so much kindness and compassion, as if they had known her for years.
Communication was excellent, and she took the time to explain everything clearly. Most importantly, Dr. Cleary developed a thoughtful plan moving forward that gave us confidence and peace of mind.
We’re very grateful for their care and highly recommend them. 🐾❤️

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.

Summer temperatures can rise quickly—and so can your dog`s body temperature.
If your pup is showing signs of overheating, acting fast can make all the difference. Move them to a cool area, offer tepid water, and begin gentle cooling measures while monitoring their temperature. If their temperature reaches 103°F or higher, seek veterinary care immediately.
Know the signs. Stay prepared. Keep your furry family members safe all season long.

When I called back to ask some follow up questions I spoke to the practice manager, Ashley, who is so kind and patient. She helped me coordinate convenient and practical solutions. Can’t say enough good things about my experience so far.
Dr. Hurst immediately made us feel at home during Memo’s very first appointment. She has such a wonderful bedside manner, was incredibly thorough, and truly took the time to get to know our guy. The moment she sat on the floor with him and lovingly called him “Mehmoe” exactly the way we say it, I knew she genuinely cared. That meant so much to us. 🥹
Dr. Shanks performed Memo’s surgeries (neuter snd stenotic nares and soft palate resection)on Wednesday the 20th, and we simply adore her. Thank you for taking such amazing care of our sweet boy and helping him through a successful surgery day. Your kindness and confidence gave us so much peace during a stressful time. Your constant communication meant the world to us throughout the day.
Ashley welcomed me on my very first phone call and we were able to slide into their schedule. Once Memo and I arrived, she was there to welcomed us. It felt incredible.
Amber is Memo’s first girlfriend and vet tech that loved him as her own. He could feel she loved him. Your bedside manner is truly off the chain, keep up shining. Keep spreading your positivity.
A huge thank you as well to Marissa, who welcomed me into the clinic during my very first call to CityVet Lake Worth. Her customer service skills are phenomenal, and her caring personality immediately stood out.
Olivia was so warm and welcoming during registration, offered us a beverage and placed us in a room.
Crystal took incredible care of Memo throughout the entire day, keeping me updated and comforted every step of the way.
Truly, every single person we encountered was compassionate, professional, and caring. Phenomenal staff. Great crew. Y’all absolutely know what you’re doing, and it shows. Thank you for loving our Memo like he was your own. 💚
I wanted to send a sincere thank you for everything you have done for me and my dogs. It is rare to find a team that is so genuinely compassionate while also being incredibly knowledgeable.
To the doctor and nurse, thank you for your patience and for explaining everything so clearly. You made a stressful situation feel much easier to manage, and I felt completely confident in the care my dogs were receiving.
To the front desk team, you really are angels on earth. Thank you for always greeting us with such kindness and for being so helpful every time I call or come in.
I am so grateful to have found such a caring place for my pets. Thank you all for the hard work you do every day.

Keep Your Pets Safe This Fourth of July! 🇺🇸
Fireworks may be fun for us, but they can be frightening for our furry family members. Here are a few simple ways to help keep your pets safe and comfortable:
If your pet struggles with stress or anxiety during fireworks, don`t wait until the last minute! Contact us ahead of time so we can discuss medications or calming options.
Make sure your pet is wearing a collar with current identification tags and that their microchip information is up to date. More pets go missing around the Fourth of July than any other time of year.
Keep pets indoors in a safe, secure room with windows and doors closed to help reduce noise and prevent escape.
Turn on a TV, fan, or calming music to help drown out the sounds of fireworks.
Walk dogs before dark, when fireworks are less likely to be going off.
Never bring pets to fireworks displays.
Most importantly, stay calm and be there to reassure them if they`re feeling anxious.
If your pet needs anxiety medication before the holiday, please give us a call soon so we can make sure they`re ready before the celebrations begin.
Have a safe and happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸❤️🐾

🎓🐾 Officially a Vaccine Graduate!
Two more puppies just earned their vaccine diploma! 🎉
Graduating from the puppy vaccine series is a big milestone—it means your pup has built important protection against serious diseases like parvo and distemper and is ready to take on more adventures safely.
Remember, graduation doesn`t mean the learning (or the healthcare!) stops. Annual wellness exams, routine vaccines, parasite prevention, and lots of love will help keep your best friend healthy for years to come.
Congratulations to our newest graduates! 💙🐶

🎆 The 4th of July is one of the busiest—and scariest—times of the year for our furry friends.
While we look forward to fireworks, many pets experience overwhelming fear and anxiety. Every year, thousands of dogs and cats panic, escape their homes or yards, and become lost because of the loud noises.
If your pet has shown signs of fear during past fireworks, don`t wait until the last minute. Call us now to discuss whether a calming medication or sedative is appropriate for your pet. These medications work best when you have them before the celebrations begin—and many are even more effective when given before your pet becomes anxious.
A few extra reminders:
🐾 Make sure your pet`s ID tags and microchip information are up to date.
🏡 Keep pets safely indoors during fireworks.
🎵 Create a quiet, comfortable space with white noise or calming music.
💙 Never assume your pet "will be fine" if they`ve struggled before.
Let`s help make this Independence Day a little less stressful for the ones who don`t understand the celebration. Call us today if you`d like to discuss the best anxiety plan for your pet! 🇺🇸

🚨 PARVO ALERT 🚨
We’ve recently seen several cases of parvovirus, and we want to remind pet owners to stay vigilant.
Parvo is a highly contagious virus that can be devastating—especially for puppies and unvaccinated dogs. The virus can live in the environment for months and is spread through contaminated surfaces, soil, and even on shoes and clothing.
If your puppy is not fully vaccinated:
🐾 Avoid dog parks and high-traffic pet areas
🐾 Keep vaccines on schedule
🐾 Watch for signs like vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and loss of appetite
We’re sharing this not to create fear, but to create awareness. Early prevention and prompt treatment can make all the difference.
If your puppy is due for vaccines or showing any concerning symptoms, please give us a call. Let’s work together to keep our community’s pets safe. ❤️

🎆 Don’t wait until the fireworks start. 🎆
If your pet struggles with loud noises, anxiety, pacing, hiding, trembling, or trying to escape during fireworks, now is the time to prepare.
The week of July 4th is one of the busiest times of the year for anxious pets, and medications like trazodone work best when you have them ready before the holiday arrives.
🐾 Call us now if your pet has needed anxiety medication in the past
🐾 Make sure you have enough medication for the entire holiday weekend
🐾 Consider a “test dose” before the big night so you know how your pet responds
A little planning can make a huge difference in keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and stress-free this Independence Day. ❤️💙
📞 Give us a call to discuss whether trazodone or other anxiety relief options are right for your pet.

🐾 Moments That Matter: The Power of a Bath 🛁✨
Sometimes one of the most effective tools for managing allergies isn`t a pill—it`s a bath.
For pets struggling with allergies, regular medicated shampoo baths can help remove pollen, dust, environmental allergens, bacteria, and yeast from the skin and coat. These baths can soothe itching, reduce inflammation, improve skin health, and even decrease the need for medications in some cases.
Think of it this way: if you rolled around outside all day during allergy season, you`d probably want a shower before bed too!
At CityVet Queen Creek, we`re here to help keep your pet comfortable. Whether your furry friend needs a veterinarian-recommended medicated bath as part of their allergy treatment plan or just a basic bath to freshen up and wash away everyday dirt and allergens, we`ve got you covered.
✨ A clean coat isn`t just about looking good—it`s about feeling good, too.
If your pet is scratching, licking, chewing at their paws, or dealing with recurrent skin issues, let`s talk about whether medicated baths could be part of the solution.

🚨 Weekly WAG: Parvo Isn’t Just a Puppy Problem 🚨
Parvovirus is one of the most serious and preventable diseases we see in dogs. It attacks the gastrointestinal tract, causing severe vomiting, diarrhea (often bloody), dehydration, and can quickly become life-threatening.
🐾 How dogs get it:
Parvo spreads through infected feces and can survive in the environment for months, making parks, sidewalks, pet stores, and even your own backyard potential sources of exposure.
🐾 Signs to watch for:
• Lethargy
• Loss of appetite
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Fever
• Dehydration
🐾 The good news:
Vaccination is highly effective at preventing parvo. Puppies are especially vulnerable until they complete their vaccine series, which is why sticking to their vaccine schedule is so important.
At CityVet Queen Creek, we’d much rather prevent parvo than treat it. Prevention is safer, easier, and far less expensive than hospitalization for a critically ill puppy.
Have questions about your puppy’s vaccine schedule? Give us a call—we’re happy to help! ❤️🐶

The Story of Boogie
Chapter 1:
On the morning of February 6th we received a call from a Good Samaritan who had come across an injured cat in the road, struggling for its life. It was presumed this kitty would need to be humanely euthanized and we agreed to do so to alleviate his suffering.
The injured cat was brought in shortly after and it was clear his injuries were life-threatening and his prognosis was grave. His head and face were severely swollen, and his injuries were gruesome. We’ll spare you the gory details but it was not pretty.
We scanned him for a microchip. No chip. He was intact, which increased the likelihood he was a stray. He was critically injured with likely no owner with a slim chance of survival. Seeing him struggle was heart wrenching. Euthanasia seemed like the most humane option. We gave him pain medications, sedated him, and prepared to alleviate his suffering in the most peaceful way possible.
When he was sedated, Dr Whitlock was able to address his wounds more thoroughly. Surprisingly, aside from his head, his body seemed to have little to no trauma. Out of curiosity, we took an X-ray of his chest and body to check for internal injuries. None. Dr Whitlock began to wonder if we could just get the swelling of his head down……
We decided as a team to try. We loaded him up on pain medications, hooked him up to fluids and gave medication to reduce swelling around his brain. It was a Friday, so that evening we made him cozy, set up a ring camera, and crossed our fingers. Right before turning off the lights and leaving, we heard the faintest resemblance of a meow. It was the first sign of real life we’d seen or heard. It was a small glimmer of hope but we still understood this poor kitty’s chances were slim. But so long as we could keep him comfortable, we would try.

Summer temperatures can rise quickly—and so can your dog`s body temperature.
If your pup is showing signs of overheating, acting fast can make all the difference. Move them to a cool area, offer tepid water, and begin gentle cooling measures while monitoring their temperature. If their temperature reaches 103°F or higher, seek veterinary care immediately.
Know the signs. Stay prepared. Keep your furry family members safe all season long.
