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.

What a unique concept. We are new to the city and while I have a car, finding parking near a vet and having to do it twice for the cat and dog was just a little overwhelming. I emailed for an inquiry and it was a few days later that Jim called to give me more information. He was very through and answered the questions I had. The appointment was set for a week out. I've got two elder pets that each have special needs. Dr. Attas and Elena (Hope I got that right) gave a call when they were 25 minutes away and showed up ready to go.
They brought in a couple of bags and cases along with a small scale. Both ladies were friendly and made the experience enjoyable. After entering Dr. Attas went through her questionnaire about both animals. They started with my dog and it was interesting to see the blood drawn as I've never seen before. One of the benefits for this vet is they work directly with Blue Pearl Hospital as that is where my dogs oncologist is at. Dr. Attas spoke with him before the appointment and I found that really nice as I already sent over all medical records.
They did quick work with the doggie and sure enough the kitty knew it was her turn and hid under the bed. Both ladies helped flush her out and they did a nail trim, exam, blood work and urine sample. All so interesting to see the process. She also mentioned sending the blood work to his oncologist so I may get to postpone his visit in two weeks for another month, saving some money and time!
After all was done they packed everything up like they were never here and off they went. My fur babies didn't have to deal with traveling across town or being in an unfamiliar waiting room. Much appreciated by the kitty and I'm sure my dog missed all the extra attention. Thank you ladies for such a memorable and unique experience.

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.

It is very difficult to see a veterinarian during the covid quarantine, especially when you are spending your quarantine away from home. My dog became sick for the first time in his six years during this difficult time, and after trying to see a vet in the city as a new patient, I was so fortunate to find city pets. Dr. Attas responded to my request for a consultation right away and was so extremely kind and attentive.
You can tell that she truly cares about what she does. Not only was she attentive to my pet's needs, but she made me feel utterly calm and at peace for what might be the first time since we've been social distancing. She is a true healer of animals and people and I will not forget the peace of mind she gave to me.

Having to make the heart-wrenching decision of when to let your sick pet go was the most difficult one I ever made. Her oncologists said it was time, but I didn't want to say good-bye. I knew I couldn't hold on to her for my sake and didn't want her to suffer. Regardless, devastated would be an understatement. City Pets came to my home and I was able to hold my baby when she took her last breath. They were professional and compassionate. I was able to pay in advance so I didn't have to deal with that at the time and I highly suggest doing that as well.

During one of the most difficult times of my life, I could not have asked for a better scenario. I am so glad I reached out to City Pets for their service in getting my beloved Rosie Lou over the Rainbow Bridge. Dr. Amy and VT Jeanine demonstrated the knowledge, experience and kindness I needed in letting Lou go. I will always be grateful to them and plan on using them in the future for routine care because it is so difficult to find all those qualities in a NYC veterinarian service. Believe me, I've been to a good many of them and the only thing they seem to care about is $$$.

City Pets are amazing. When my dog was ill and our previous vet wasn't treating her properly, I contacted City Vets and they not only found the cause of her illness and treated it properly and promptly, but took my concerns and fears seriously. They always respond to calls and emails quickly and try to make themselves available for a house call as soon as possible. I'm so grateful to have been referred to them. They are truly wonderful.

Dr. Danielle and Carita took wonderful care of our two young cats. They arrived on time and took special care to ensure the cats were comfortable and as relaxed as possible. They were sensitive and compassionate throughout the visit, and they expertly performed the check up and nail clipping without any issues. Highly recommended and will definitely be calling them again to take care of our fur babies.

I cannot imagine anyone else taking care of my babies. I have 15 year old cats, and this team has helped me keep them healthy. The care and thoughtfulness the team shows is extraordinary. Yes, it will cost more, but the service is A+. If you are able to, why wouldn't you give your pets this level of treatment? WC

I have been using the amazing and sensitive services of City Pets for about 10 years. I had trouble getting my cats into their carriers so I originally searched for a Mobile Vet and came across City Pets. It has continued to be a life saver both for convenience and less stress to the animal and to me! I recommend to the highest level for professionalism, knowledge, bedside manner and convenience.

Dr. Attas gave me an incredible amount of support while I was on a pet-sitting job. I sent her a photo of my pet's paw, and she was able to make an immediate house call and provide my dog with the attention he needed. She diagnosed him, treated him and emailed my client and explained his condition and saved the day! Thank you Dr. Attas and all the staff at City Pets for your care and compassion!

As a first time puppy owner, I needed a lot of help. Thank goodness one of my friends recommended City Pets. Over the past 8 months they've really been there for me -- providing support and guidance that I trust. I've had 2 separate occasions where they've worked me into their busy schedule last minute just to make sure that everything was ok with my puppy. It's very clear they really care about their patients. and nervous new moms!

I was referred to City Pets and Dr Amy Attas (and partner Dr Danielle Dalton) by another in house veterinarian who was highly recommended. We are here for my daughter to take pre college classes, so the trip from Michigan to NYC was too much for our Lucy, who had two seizures on two consecutive nights. She also was feeling very warm and getting dehydrated from this. Dr Attas took the call immediately.
She arrived with her assistant Janine and they took a history and began examination. She has a very calm and kind persona and she offered a lot of sage advice as well as administering a bolus of fluid to help with the dehydration. Lucy seemed to perk up during the time they were still here and definitely looked and acted more herself within 30 minutes of the treatment.
The doctor was very informed and had great bedside manner with my pet as well as with my daughter and I. I would recommend Dr Attas and City Pets to anyone looking for emergency care in NYC who like us, was needing immediate care, didn't have access to a car and wanted high level care for our beloved pet whose acuity level was uncertain. We are hoping not to see you again before we leave home for Michigan, but it was sure very nice to meet you and have you treat our Lucy. Thank you very much for hopefully diverting a crisis situation.

This is a great service. The vets come to your home and can perform many of the tests that are done in the office. Follow up care is also excellent. The vets are knowledgeable and professional. We choose to use this service because it saves our cats the stress of going to the vet and it saves us from having to endure a dozen scratches trying to get them into their carriers.

Dr. Amy Attas saved Yoda's life! Yoda is our 8-year old French Bulldog and he had a terrible experience at another vet in the West Village - we almost lost him at a dental appointment gone wrong! Dr. Attas was referred to us by a friend. Shortly after Dr. Attas started her house calls at our apartment, Yoda wasn't eating regularly and she noticed Yoda's blood work was abnormal.
We took Yoda straight away to Blue Pearl after Dr. Attas called to warn us that this was an urgent matter. Dr. Attas has relationships with the doctors at Blue Pearl and she was able to follow up with them directly. Yoda wouldn't be here if Dr. Attas hadn't caught this abnormal blood work early on. Yoda had an emergency surgery to remove a portion of his liver and his gallbladder which would have ruptured in the imminent future.
This is often caught after the fact with dogs, when it's too late! She's been great with Yoda and always follows up! Not to mention she comes to us so we don't have to Uber Yoda around! Couldn't recommend City Pets more!

Dr. Amy Attas and the vet tech, Jeanine Lunz, were extremely professional and efficient. I woke up in the morning to find my cat with a swollen eye and was desperately trying to get her to a vet to get her checked out. Unfortunately, my cat hates being in a carrier and we couldn't get in one to take her to a vet. I called City Pets and they were able to come by within 2 hours of my call and although my cat is skittish, they were able to expertly handle and diagnose her.
They also took the time to show me how I should handle her so I can more easier apply the medication to her. A few days I called City Pets to ask a question about my cat's condition, and Dr. Attas promptly called me back and answered my questions. I appreciate the level of service and professionalism and highly recommend them. It is expensive, but it is comforting to know you are getting quality care.

My 18 year old cat Felix is doing so well, despite kidney and blood pressure issues, thanks to the skilled and dedicated Dr. Amy Atta and her staff at City Pets. Frankly, Felix had been mishandled by his prior vet, and he just kept getting worse and worse. I was certain he was at death's door. Now, I'm happy to say that he has had a complete turnaround and is enjoying his life, which, of course, makes me very happy.
It also makes an enormous difference to have Felix's vet come to the house. At his age, it is simply too traumatic and frankly dangerous to be spending time in a vet's office. He hated it and behaved very badly. Now--he is actually happy to see his doctors! And so am I. -:

We would not entrust the care of our two cats, Castor and Pollux, to anyone but City Pets. Dr Attas and Dr Dalton, along with their assistants and staff, are consummate professionals. They provide thorough follow-up, are excellent communicators, and are gentle and thoughtful. Of course the fees may be a tad higher than in-office visits, but not by much --- and it is worth the modest difference in price to receive such excellent care and attention at home. Five stars for City Pets. Dr Arthur Tang Oct 18, 2015 NYC
