Make the Vet a Happy Place to Visit

We recommend “happy visits”—short, stress-free trips where your pet receives treats and affection without any pokes or restraint. These visits help pets build positive associations with our hospital, turning it into a place they love to visit!

Plus, we keep a variety of treats by our front door to welcome pets and help them see our hospital as a happy, safe place.

What This Means for You and Your Pet

When your pet is calm and relaxed, exams and treatments are more effective and enjoyable. Whether your pet is a new patient or a seasoned visitor, our low-stress approach can help make veterinary care a positive experience for them.

Howard Fradkin Ph.D.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about CityPets614. My pup loves going there whether it is for daycare or overnight boarding. He is so well taken care of, known by name, and comes home tired and happy. The staff is very efficient and courteous. The vets and medical staff are incredibly knowledgeable and care deeply for their patients. Even on busy drop off mornings, I am in and out in less than 5 minutes. I highly recommend this location for you and your puppy’s needs. 5 stars all around!”
