I am writing to thank Dr. Amy Attas for the wonderful, compassionate and competent care she has been delivering to my dog, Izzy, and my friends' animal-companions for the past 15 years since learning about her NYC house call practice. When I moved from Philadelphia, I didn't yet have my own dog nor did I know any vets in NYC, so when a neighbor needed urgent vet-attention for her diabetic cat, I called a friend who was a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School and he immediately recommended an alumnus, Dr. Amy Attas, whose credentials and skills represented the highest standards of the school. She successfully stabilized the kitty and since then then I have enthusiastically recommended her to others who need a great vet too. When my own dog, Izzy, developed a serious, non-garden-variety eye problem overnight, it was Dr. Danielle Dalton at City Pets who saw us first thing that morning and took the time to arrange a phone consult with an ophthalmologist to ensure we would institute the best treatment plan possible.. Thankfully, Izzy recovered totally. In addition to the practice's two vets, I am also impressed with the amazing staff of vet-techs who accompany Drs. Amy and Danielle on house calls. They are seasoned, competent and knowledgeable and play their right-hand-man roles at the same caliber of excellence I have come to rely upon from City Pets. As my dog gets older, knowing the Doctors and staff are there for us helps me sleep at night. Thank You City Pets! Kate and Izzy from Hell's Kitchen read more

We have been clients of Drs. Attas and Dalton for more than 15 years and because we own English Bulldogs, we have needed their services with too much regularity. We have had dogs in our family for 50 years living in several cities, and while we have enjoyed excellent veterinary care, none has been as exemplary as City Pets. They are outstanding diagnosticians, empathetic and compassionate to our dogs as well as to us, their concerned sometimes overwrought owners. They are thorough and gentle as are their very skilled technicians. Never have I had dogs greet the vet with such excitement. And over the years, as we have needed specialists for the usual bulldog ailments that required surgery or other specific issues, not only have they found the best practitioners, they followed up with them and helped us understand what was happening. In the last few years we have had to euthanize two of our beloved bulldogs. Both times the procedure was done with grace and great caring. One was Maude, just a two year old whose cancer was incurable. She hadn't eaten for several days and when Dr Attas arrived, Maude, who was close to death, accepted several treats from her before I held her in my arms and we put her down. Dr. Attas shared my grief and everyone from the office followed up to see how we were doing. While I keep telling them and myself that we are through with bulldogs, we are gluttons for punishment and could not have more excellent and compassionate care, both for us and our dogs. read more

Dr. Attas saw my wonderful 10 year old boy cat for his annual exam, vaccinations and blood work. To my surprise, his blood test results showed his liver values were 6 to 7 times normal. I was very concerned. He seemed well in every way, but these test results indicated something was very wrong. Dr. Attas recommended some additional tests and ultimately diagnosed that there was a problem with his gall bladder that was affecting his liver. Dr. Attas prescribed a daily medication for him. At first I was nervous about giving a pill every day, but it's really very easy. Dr. Attas rechecked his blood work and two months later his liver values were normal again! He went from having a big problem to normal again and did not have a single day of feeling sick. It doesn't get any better than this. Dr. Attas, and her associate Dr. Dalton, were extremely professional and thorough through all of this, yet also caring and compassionate in their care of my boy. As well, they were there every step of the way for all my "nervous dad" questions and concerns. Their house call practice made things so much easier and is great service for people with multiple pets, pets that don't like to travel to the veterinarian's office, pets that require more than a once a year visit to the veterinarian and extreme NYC weather. read more

It's surprising to me that Yelp excludes from public view so many legitimate laudatory reviews of Dr. Amy Attas of City Pets (e.g. mine), who is and has been in my opinion Manhattan's premier house call vet service for over 25 years. I can't say enough good things about her and her team. Dr. Attas is smart, compassionate and the follow-up is amazing. She is an extraordinary diagnostician and will place, if necessary, my dogs with precisely the right specialist (if one is needed) where ever that doctor may be, rather than pretend -- as so many vets do -- that they can do equally well knee surgery and dentistry and cancer treatments. I wish my human doctors would have as little ego and be as thoughtful in their treatment of me as is Dr. Attas! I know no other vet who will follow a case so deeply and personally all the way from diagnosis through whatever treatment is necessary. Does it impress me that she has lots of "celebrity" pets as her patients? No. Not in the least, truly. What really does impress me is that she is always there for me, for me and my family, and has made the health and well-being of our babies better from the day they came to us. She has a motto: "Its all about the animals," and I know she lives and breathes that. read more

Dr. Attas has been our vet since 1995. We have only known her to be knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. A few years ago, while out of town over the Holidays, our elderly Jack Russell was rushed to a local emergency room with what appeared to be horrible, life-threatening non-stop seizures. Dr. Attas worked over the phone, throughout the Holiday with local vets to help save our dog. After days and a battery of tests, she was the ONLY one to finally diagnose him with vestibular disease. It is truly because of her efforts that we were able to spend another three wonderful years with our beloved George. Throughout the years, she has always made herself available and provided the best care possible for our dogs. As a "House Call" vet, she works with the owner's schedule to give general exams on your time in the privacy of your own home. This is a great idea for people with busy schedules or with pets who are terrified of going to the Vet's office. Additionally, if your pet needs something other than a general exam or vaccination, she doesn't hesitate to refer you to the best specialists that NYC has to offer. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Attas and her staff and would highly recommend her. read more

Dr. Amy, Carita, City Pets, and their office staff have really been great for us, from the first phone call I made to set up an appointment, through three visits now (one just with Carita, who clearly loves animals), and the anxious emails Dr. Amy replies to even on week-end evenings, the care they've provided for our 15-year-old kitties (and their high maintenance humans) has been skilled and caring. Our kitties hate, hate traveling to the vet now that they're older, and being able to take that super stressor out of their lives (and our own) has been reassuring, and we've felt very confident with the thoughtfulness and obvious skill and experience with which Dr. Amy approaches the multiple issues one of them lives with. We truly appreciate having this service, and the peace of mind it brings, available for our family's vet care. read more

Dr. Amy Attas is the best vet I have ever had take care of any of my animals over the last 30 years. She sincerely cares about animals and their people. She has gotten me through more crises than I care to remember. Dr. Attas is not an alarmist but she is beyond belief thorough and spot on. Not an easy feat when you have 5 cats with very strong personalities and not all of them sweet. She also has an incredible staff, people who also care deeply about my cats and are always available to help. The icing on the cake is that I do not have to stress my cats out by shoving them in boxes and sitting in a waiting room with tons of other stressed out pets. I feel blessed to have found Dr. Attas and City Pets in a city like NY. read more

We were fortunate to find Dr. Amy Attas when our beautiful tuxedo rescue cat, Mabel Mercer, was suffering from terminal cancer. When the the time came to euthenize Mabel, Dr. Attas and her team came to our home and cared for Mabel in the most protective, kind manner one could possibly hope for. When we adopted two more cats, Dr. Attas and her team became our go-to veterinary service. Nikki and Lucy both arrived at our home with compromised immune systems and once again, Dr. Attas is our preferred vet. We are very grateful for the expertise and compassion we have found in Dr. Attas and the entire City Pets team. read more

Dr. Amy is the best vet I have ever had. her 15+ years of experience and thousands of satisfied clients speak well of her talent and kindness. I happen to know that the person that gave her the 1 star was a client that never paid his bill and threatened her with starting an internet campaign against her name if her office wouldn't take her off the list at the collections agency. It is sad and dirty to try to stain the name of such a good doctor tha has kept happy hundreds and hundreds of grateful and satisfied clients read more
