Amy Attas, VMD

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.

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.

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

I could never imagine anyone saying anything bad about Amy and Danielle. They are the top of the line in terms of caring, compassion and skill. Their assistants are also awesome. They really love animals and when my baby died while away from NYC they had spoken many times to their counterparts in Westchester and wrote me the kindest letter about Jimmy and were the first to offer help with my grief and how to integrate Perry into the family since my other cat was bereft. I love them! And no it is not expensive but you get what you pay for and Amy is tops!

My experiences with Dr Attas and her associate Dr. Danielle Dalton have only been positive. Quite frankly I believe that the home service provided by these two individuals is an extra benefit… They do not pretend to be a full scale visiting hospital and if your pet requires such services I am confident they would be upfront about their limitations and make the appropriate recommendations.
