With Dexter being 12 years old, trusting someone with his surgery was not something I took lightly. Dr. Effie went above and beyond with his care and It was clear that he was in the best possible hands.
She truly stands out from any vet I have ever encountered. She is thorough, patient, compassionate, and genuinely invested in the animals she treats..
Iβm incredibly grateful for the quality of care she gave Dexter. Thank you for treating him with the same care and attention you would treat own. I will never be able to thank you enough
They hold the paws, calm the nerves, run the labs, monitor the anesthesia, and love your pets!

Whether itβs a quick trip to the park or a weekend road trip, your dog deserves the same protection you do. A few simple steps can make every ride safer:
– Use a harness, never a collar. A collar puts all the force on your dogβs neck. A well-fitted harness spreads it across the chest.
– Choose a crash-tested restraint. Look for a harness or carrier certified by the Center for Pet Safety.
– Keep your dog in the back seat. Front airbags are designed for adult humans and can seriously injure a pet.
New to car restraints? Start with short drives so your dog gets used to the gear before your next big adventure.

Which fall plants are toxic to dogs and cats?
Fall decor is fun, but some seasonal plants can make pets sick. Here are six to watch for:
– Pumpkins & gourds: Fresh, plain pumpkin is generally safe, but mold on a rotting pumpkin can be toxic.
– Oak leaves & acorns: They contain tannins that can cause vomiting and diarrhea. Acorns can also be a choking or blockage risk.
– Autumn crocus: Every part of the plant is toxic and can cause severe illness.
– Tulips: All parts are toxic, and the bulbs are the most dangerous.
– Chrysanthemums (mums): The flowers, leaves and stems can cause drooling, vomiting and skin irritation.
– Lilies: Every part of a true lily, including the pollen and vase water, can cause kidney failure in cats.
What should you do if your pet eats a toxic plant? Donβt wait for symptoms. Call your nearest CityVet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 right away, and bring a photo of the plant if you can.

I appreciate how transparent they are about prices and estimates. More than that, they go out of their way to make my pets feel comfortable. They also offer grooming which is super convenient for my Pyrenees mix who receives sedatives (prescribed by Cityvet) for anxiety. I can one hundred percent trust that she will be safe and pampered there, and she always looks so cute after!
We just got done with extraction of a broken tooth, and her wonderful Dr. found another small limp,, which she removed at the same time as the tooth!
This Vet is wonderful, and is her super friendly staff! Thry also check in several

Meet our patient of the week, Samantha!
Samantha is 16 years old and living with advanced stage chronic kidney disease. Her very dedicated owner provides regular treatment for hydration, hypertension control, and phosphorus control. These treatments are preserving kidney function and prolonging Samanthaβs life, and sheβs doing fantastically for a cat with her diagnoses. We even documented weight gain at her most recent visit, not very common for kitties with her age and disease.

Meet our patient of the week, Sinclair!
Sinclair is a young cat that presented with acute vomiting. Radiographs revealed a very large bladder. Interestingly, he didnβt have abnormal urinary symptoms at home. Direct bladder palpation induced pain and unsuccessful attempts to urinate.
He was diagnosed with a urethral obstruction, and luckily it was caught early – he had no signs of kidney damage or electrolyte disturbances. He was anesthetized to pass a urinary catheter to de-obstruct his urethra; a plug of crystalline grit was obstructing his distal urethra. He was hospitalized to maintain his urinary catheter and treat dehydration.
Sinclair made a quick recovery and is doing well! He was the sweetest patient.

Meet our patient of the week, River Lee!
He came to us in June with an inflamed mass on one of his paws. It was painful to walk on and starting to ulcerate from pressure.
Surgery recovery wasnβt his favorite – he needed a bandage to cover the paw and was on exercise restriction until healed. Not to be deterred, he did manage to get in the pool once against doctor orders and needed another bandage change π
.
After the all clear, he got back to swimming in the pool he loves! Now 3 months later, heβs happy as can be and 8 lbs slimmer from all that exercise! The removed growth was diagnosed as a sarcoma, so we are monitoring closely, and pleased to see no signs of recurrence!

Meet our patient of the week, Ruby!
She presented in June for an acute hind limb lameness. After 2 weeks of conservative treatment, her limp wasnβt any better, and joint exam showed concerns for instability of her right knee.
Radiographs showed joint subluxation consistent with a cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tear – this is comparable to a human tearing their ACL. Ouch! Unfortunately this is actually a common injury in dogs, usually due to degenerative disease, but sometimes caused by trauma alone.
Ruby was referred to a specialist surgeon at Arista and had a TPLO surgery with a metal implant to correct the instability. Sheβs now about 2 months into recovery and rehab and doing great, getting back to her normal self and able to run free again!

Meet our patient of the week Link! Heβs the sweetest cat youβll meet.
Link came to us for vomiting and loss of appetite. Radiographs showed intestines obstructed by foreign material. Surgery that day removed a hair tie. Link is on the mend after surgery and getting back to his normal self! We hope he learns to eat food only from here on out!

Lizzie presented with acute illness last week. Prompt evaluation and diagnostics revealed a bleeding mass on her spleen. She had emergency surgery to remove the organ (the mass was 11cm wide!), and was hospitalized afterwards to treat her blood loss and a common post-operative arrhythmia.
Lizzie is doing great this week, and our whole team was overjoyed to learn her biopsy report came back with great news – her mass is benign with no signs of cancer! π

Whether itβs a quick trip to the park or a weekend road trip, your dog deserves the same protection you do. A few simple steps can make every ride safer:
– Use a harness, never a collar. A collar puts all the force on your dogβs neck. A well-fitted harness spreads it across the chest.
– Choose a crash-tested restraint. Look for a harness or carrier certified by the Center for Pet Safety.
– Keep your dog in the back seat. Front airbags are designed for adult humans and can seriously injure a pet.
New to car restraints? Start with short drives so your dog gets used to the gear before your next big adventure.

Which fall plants are toxic to dogs and cats?
Fall decor is fun, but some seasonal plants can make pets sick. Here are six to watch for:
– Pumpkins & gourds: Fresh, plain pumpkin is generally safe, but mold on a rotting pumpkin can be toxic.
– Oak leaves & acorns: They contain tannins that can cause vomiting and diarrhea. Acorns can also be a choking or blockage risk.
– Autumn crocus: Every part of the plant is toxic and can cause severe illness.
– Tulips: All parts are toxic, and the bulbs are the most dangerous.
– Chrysanthemums (mums): The flowers, leaves and stems can cause drooling, vomiting and skin irritation.
– Lilies: Every part of a true lily, including the pollen and vase water, can cause kidney failure in cats.
What should you do if your pet eats a toxic plant? Donβt wait for symptoms. Call your nearest CityVet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 right away, and bring a photo of the plant if you can.

Can dogs eat pumpkin for Halloween? Yes!
Homemade pumpkin treats are a dog-safe alternative to Halloween candy. Just use 100% pure pumpkin with no sugar or spices, not pumpkin pie filling.
Mix 1 cup pumpkin, 2 eggs and 2Β½ cups oat flour. Then roll, cut and bake at 350Β°F for 20β30 minutes. Keep treats under 10% of your dogβs daily calories.
Youβll find the full recipe, plus soft and grain-free versions, on our blog at the link in our bio!
