From the moment you walk into the room, you’re met with a warm, genuine personality and a smile that immediately puts both you and your pet at ease. She’s attentive in a way that’s increasingly rare, she never rushes, never makes you feel like she’s watching the clock. She takes her time, gets down to your dog’s level, and treats each animal like they’re her only patient that day.
What really sets her apart is how thoroughly she explains everything. She answers questions in detail and in plain language, so you actually understand what’s going on, what your options are, and why she’s recommending a particular course of action. Her reports are top-notch, clear, detailed, and organized — so you leave with a real record of the visit rather than a few scribbled notes.
She also follows up. Whether it’s checking in after a treatment or making sure a medication is working, she stays engaged well after you’ve left the office. She takes every concern seriously, no matter how small it might seem, and never makes you feel like you’re overreacting as a pet parent.
Finding a vet you trust completely is hard, and Dr. Walsh has earned that trust many times over. My dog is in the best possible hands with her, and I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated veterinarian.
What makes a great veterinary experience? It`s more than medical expertise—it`s compassion!
When pets feel safe, and clients feel heard, it creates better care for everyone involved. At CityVet, we believe kindness is just as important as clinical excellence, and we`re grateful to hear that reflected in the words used to describe us.

Did you know?!
Unlike us (and even dogs), cats are missing the taste receptor gene that allows them to detect sweet flavors. As true carnivores, their taste buds are designed to help them seek out protein instead.
Understanding how your cat experiences the world can help you make informed choices about their nutrition and keep them happy and healthy!

July is Pet Hydration Month!
It`s a great reminder that staying hydrated is essential for your pet`s overall health—not just on hot summer days. Keep an eye out for signs of dehydration like excessive panting, dry gums, sunken eyes, lethargy, or decreased skin elasticity.
A full water bowl may seem like a small thing, but it can make a big difference in keeping your pet happy and healthy.

Did you know dogs can get sunburned, too?
While light-colored pups are at higher risk, any dog can experience sun damage after too much time in the sun. A little shade and sun-smart planning can help keep your best friend safe all summer long.
