About City Pets™ In NYC
City Pets™ is the leading veterinary house call service for Manhattan’s dogs and cats. The practice was started in 1992 from the vision of Dr. Amy Attas, a top graduate of the University of Pennsylvania’s veterinary school and New York’s Animal Medical Center. She wanted to provide the highest quality veterinary care to dogs and cats and to their owners in the comfort of their own homes.
Decades later, City Pets™ has become the preeminent veterinary house call practice in Manhattan, NYC, if not the country, not by virtue of the number of its patients, but proudly by the quality of both their veterinary care and their patient and owner relationships.
As veterinarians, Dr. Amy Attas along with her long-time associate Dr. Danielle Dalton and their staff of caring veterinary nurses and office administrators provide personalized, concierge veterinary service, all while delivering the highest level of veterinary care in the comfort of the pet’s home.

At Home-Care Is Better
At-home veterinary care eliminates the stress of taxis, animal hospitals and other animal patients especially sick ones sitting near your pet in a waiting room. Cats, we know, are stressed from the moment they are put into a carrier; and dogs anticipate the vet’s exam from the minute they step a paw on the animal hospital block.
And, importantly, at home-care caters to the owner’s convenience. When the vet comes to the pet, pet owners don’t waste their valuable time traveling to and waiting around in animal hospitals.
In fact, at-home vet care is medically beneficial: because your pet is so relaxed at-home, physical examinations are actually easier for both pet and doctor, including wellness exams, taking blood samples for laboratory analysis and giving needed vaccines. Notably, the at-home test results for blood pressure and intraocular pressure are actually more accurate than when those tests are performed on a pet while he or she is sitting on a cold, steel table in the sterile confines of a hospital.
How We Deliver At Home-Care.
Our veterinarians and the City Pets™ team together for decades are fully prepared with state-of-the-art equipment to perform wellness exams; puppy and kitten check-ups and vaccinations; blood and urine samples; to diagnose and treat sick patients; implant microchips and to endorse domestic and international travel and health certificates all while in your home. When pets are sick, diagnosis; fluid therapy; medicine administration; therapeutic cold laser therapy; and even cancer treatment can be done at home for your pet’s comfort and your convenience.
City Pets™ Is Unique
In addition to its high-quality care, City Pets™ works closely with the top veterinary specialists in Manhattan to provide expert medical and surgical care should your pet have a complex medical problem. City Pets™’ doctors will help manage your pet’s case through whatever procedures may be required; interface with the specialists on your behalf; and patiently work with you to help you understand your pet’s condition and your various options.
We never leave you to deal with these important situations alone. In fact, we pride ourselves on our follow-up and communication, all borne from our love of the animals and our relationships with the pet owners.
And, when it is time, euthanasia (putting a pet to sleep) can be performed at home, as well, providing this service in a loving, familial and peaceful way. City Pets™ will make any final arrangements you require (such as cremation or burial in a pet cemetery).
Join The City Pets™ Family
Since 1992, City Pets™ has provided compassionate and high-quality veterinary care for the pets of over 5,000 families, which means for over 10,000 dogs and cats. We don’t believe in “instant vet care.” Rather, our concierge style of veterinary practice is thoughtful and is relationship-based; it follows the pet and its human family through all phases of life. Old-fashioned medicine (with all the modern tools).
We want to be your family’s vet, getting to know you, your kitten or puppy and helping her or him grow up healthy and happy and reaching maturity with strength and love.
