Dr. Knight and her team at CityPaws, as usual since we started using the clinic for our dogs' health since 2014, goes above and beyond to take care of our girls. We couldn't be happier, nor would we trust the health of our beloved girl to anyone else!

I recently adopted a dog and have been going to CityPaws since August 2021. When I first adopted him, he was very anxious and unsure of himself. During our first visit, Dr. Knight was so patient, calm, and gentle with him. It was important to her that we make his first vet visit a positive experience. Dr. Knight has great bedside manners and always takes the time to carefully explain any procedures, side effects, and recommendations.
I love how she works with my dog and her warm/sunny personality. I've also had very wonderful experiences with the vet techs who are friendly and caring. I always feel like my dog is in good hands at CityPaws.

Visited years ago and had a bad experience with customer service and them not being upfront with billing. After already paying for my visit and all tests I was prompted to pay for additional tests that I was initially told were included in my cat's health checkup. I was then quoted nearly $900 for a dental procedure for my cat. I decided that I had enough of my experience with them and shopped around. I was able to get the same procedure done for 1/3 of what they quoted me.
