I love the staff at Art City Vets. They went above and beyond to answer all of my questions and were very courteous to all of my needs. My cat weighs 30lb and they even helped me out to my Uber after my visit.
It’s also great that if I had an emergency, they would would be available . I have heard bad things about the other ERs around and so I am thankful that I can go to Art City
They get an A+ from me!

I had such a great experience at this vet! My dog has been to a few others and this one was by far the best! Dr. Glantz was super gentle with my very anxious dog who hates the vet. My dog had his tail wagging the entire time :) Dr. Glantz was thorough and very educated. I’ve finally found a vet that I trust & I am super happy!

We love Art City Vets! Our dog is leash reactive towards other dogs, and everyone at Art City is so kind and thoughtful whenever we bring her in. They also do a great job making her feel comfortable and their care is top-notch! We recommend them to all pet owners we know in the city.

We adopted our kitten during the pandemic and after receiving unsatisfactory care elsewhere, we started bringing him to Art City Vets. Dr. Aller and his staff were really exceptional - this was the first time our cat didn't show significant fear going to the vet. They handled him with care and made our visit an amazing one. We've been bringing him back ever since and couldn't be happier!

Dr. Aller & the entire team at Art City Vets & Urgent Care have been my go-to resource for pet care since they opened a few years ago. The facility is TOP NOTCH and all through COVID-19 their protocols made me feel safe and service was quick and affordable. I travel 30 minutes each way from New Jersey because their care is the best around! If you are looking for a new vet that cares for your pet as much as you do then definitely choose Art City!

I found a kitten and I took her to the vet the next day. They gave everything what the kitten needed up to date and at the end of the day I had to put down the kitten. She had a disease that was going to end up the cat not living within a year and it could pass on to other cats. So I decided to put her down for other cats safety and my kittens that I have at home safety too. I was charge about $500 for a kitten I tried to help off the streets. I didn’t take nothing home. They don’t care about animals. They are just hungry for money. I will never go here again.

Art City Vets cares for my pets as if they were their own. My cats have seen all of the vets at Art City Vets, and they are all extremely qualified and caring. I once brought my cat in with what I thought was gastrointestinal distress, but the vets at Art City swiftly diagnosed him with a rare condition and treated him that day. Without the treatment and surgery, my cat may not have made it. Art City Vets’ prices are also great - very affordable. Highly recommend this vet clinic!

I had to bring our cat here last Saturday for an urgent care visit. While I DID have to wait a while (not their fault, it was crowded!) the staff was so helpful and even offered everyone waiting snacks for both humans and pets! There’s a bathroom and water cooler and chill jazz music in this clean and modern waiting room. The doctor was incredibly patient and thorough in explaining everything and answering my questions. Plus I thought the walk in urgent care rate was quite reasonable. Bringing him back today for a follow up appointment was just as good an experience. The staff is helpful, friendly

Another great experience with Art City Vets! My kitty Gus had an ear infection and they were able to give me appointment the next day after calling. My experience was very pleasant from checking in at the front desk of the wellness center, speaking with the technician, and then going over diagnostics and a treatment plan with the doctor. I love this place! They are the epitome of what a vet practice should be. They are always so friendly, the facilities are beautiful and clean, and they spend as much time with you and your pet as you need! 100 stars!

Every interaction I have had at Art City Vets and with their team has been nothing short of kind, respectful, and efficient. I have brought my cat here for urgent care visits, and ultimately, (unfortunately) when he passed away, he was there as well. The vets, technicians, and staff are incredibly compassionate and supportive. I am so thankful for the time that I had with my cat, Toby, and I am beyond thankful to the team at Art City for helping my baby boy have a pain-free and happy life.
