House Call Exams
Our comprehensive home examinations assess pets' health in their natural environment. Veterinarians evaluate vital signs, dental health, and mobility while observing behavioral patterns unique to each household. This approach enables early detection of conditions like arthritis or dental disease through subtle changes in activity levels and eating habits.
Laser Therapy
Class IV laser treatments reduce inflammation and accelerate healing for chronic conditions like arthritis. This non-invasive therapy delivers targeted relief without medication side effects, with sessions administered in pets' homes using portable equipment that produces noticeable improvements within multiple weekly treatments.
Pet Microchipping
Permanent identification microchips provide secure pet recovery solutions. These rice-sized implants between shoulder blades connect to databases holding owner contact information, offering reliable reunification compared to GPS collars that pose ingestion risks during accidental escapes.
Dermatology Care
Specialized skin evaluations identify allergies, infections, and parasitic causes of irritation. Diagnostic approaches include skin scraping analysis and dietary elimination trials to address chronic itching or hair loss, with treatment plans incorporating medicated baths and environmental modifications.
In-Home Euthanasia
Compassionate euthanasia services allow peaceful pet transitions in familiar surroundings. Veterinarians administer anesthesia followed by cardiac suppression, ensuring painless departures while accommodating family presence and providing post-procedure cremation arrangements.

City Pets provided in-home euthanasia for our beloved cat. We were extremely upset, and they were so kind, empathetic, calm, respectful, and professional. They showed so much care for our precious girl, and gave us plenty of time alone with her. They made one of the hardest moments of our lives as smooth as possible. Highly recommend them.

They helped me say goodbye to my beloved pug Cici. They were empathetic throughout the process but, in home, they truly shine. They gave us adequate space and time to process. Explained the whole process and alerted me to portions I might not want to see. They were loving and non-intrusive the whole time. It was a very loving and reverential ceremony. They were without a doubt the right choice to help her across the rainbow bridge.

The team at City Pet Vets are wonderful. Dr. Attas was very compassionate and attentive in helping me manage my pet's diabetes. She calmly explained how to monitor and treat the condition and was readily available to consult and reassure me as we stabilized the diabetes. She was even kind enough to connect me with another client that had a diabetic pet, so I could ask some questions. It is very clear that she cares about the pets and their owners. It is also incredibly convenient to have the services right in your apartment.

Our elderly border collie mix Luna became so nervous during visits to our old vet that we could no longer bear to take her in. We wanted to arrange home visits and were referred to City Pets. The experience could not have been better. Dr. Amy Attas has been so compassionate and kind to us and to our dog. She is responsive to our emails and phone calls, even on weekends and in the evenings. She is very gentle with Luna and brings along with her everything that is needed.
When Luna recently had a very bad day, Dr. Attas was there the next morning. I can't stress enough what a difference it has made to have her there to help us get through this difficult stage of our beautiful dog's life.

City Pets is made up of the most caring, wonderful professionals in this business. Anywhere. We have used them to assure the ongoing health of our cats for well over 15 years. More, I think. Each and every interaction is in our home - where are pets are safe and calm and - each and every interaction is safe, clear, compassionate and comfortable for all concerned. The other day, Dr Attas had to put down our dear, sweet 19 year old cat, Lilith. I will never forget their care, warmth, kindness and professionalism. You'd be lucky to start your pets getting their care from City Pets.
