How to Save on Veterinary Costs at City Vet
Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.
Compare prescription pricing
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance
Pet insurance may help cover a portion of eligible veterinary expenses depending on the plan, including accidents, illnesses, and in some cases preventive care. Coverage details, reimbursement levels, and deductibles vary by provider.

Brought my dog for an emergency right before Covid. The attention was so pleasing that I wished I had continued with them but they closed when the city closed back in 2020. I came back to the neighborhood and of course I wanted my two dogs to be under the care of this people. Needless to say there was nothing but a commercial paperwork that lasted forever. With an assistant giving attitude really lacking the minimum customer service etiquete.. He presented a bill much bigger than what it was discussed over the phone. And he had not even checked the dogs or go through their records. This is a total waste of time. I left the place and will be in the look of a new vet. The people we hire to manage our business make a great impact in the perception of it. I went from amazed by its service to amazed by its lack of it.

These folks are fantastic. I came in with a dog that had been attacked in Murray Park and had a bad bite wound. They immediately took charge and treated the wound. Dr Harrington was wonderful; empathetic, calm and professional (as were the staff in general.) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Don’t waste your time with the urgent care franchise a few blocks away with their predictably corporate approach.

The vet was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions! We’re very happy with our choice of vet for our new puppy Aru!

Doctor Harrington is fantastic! Professional, responsive, courteous, and direct. First met her in 2023 for a second opinion on my older dog's knee a few weeks after moving to the neighborhood. She made time to see my dog same day and gave excellent advice and referrals to a fantastic vet surgery practice in Brooklyn. I immediately started coming to CityVet first for everything. In early 2024 she made a quick second diagnosis that another vet at her practice had missed, then performed the needed minor surgery on my dog herself with excellent results that immediately cleared up the issue. Front desk is generally very responsive in person and over email, most recently going out of their way to follow up multiple times when PetSmart kept botching my flea/tick approval and helped me switch to Chewy. Highly recommend this Vet!

Really kind and sincere staff. My cat had a little accident, and the team squeezed him in and got him all bandaged up. I’m so grateful for the amazing doctor and staff 🙏🏽❤️
