CityVet operates a network of veterinarian-owned clinics. Veterinarians can own local clinics via de novo builds or acquisitions, while CityVet provides centralized support (HR, marketing, accounting, payroll, technology) so vets focus on medical care. Clinics offer wellness exams, vaccines, diagnostics, in-house labs, urgent care, dental and surgical services, medical boarding, grooming, and a pet-supply retail, plus wellness packages and a PetCare Plus plan. Backed by RiverGlade Capital, CityVet has expanded from Dallas–Fort Worth to several markets and differentiates itself by veterinarian ownership, a strong employee-focused culture, and a scalable back-end platform that reduces administrative work, with the goal of empowering vets to lead clinics and deliver accessible, high-quality pet care.
