CityVet | Southtown

So thankful for Dr.Romeo and her awesome team! They’ve cared for both my pups and have always treated them with lots of love and attentiveness. They do an amazing job and are thorough with each patient they see.

I believe in destiny. I believe there are moments in life when certain people are placed in your path at exactly the right time—and that is exactly how I feel about AJ, Dr. Romeo, and the entire team at CityVet Southtown. From our urgent phone call asking if we could come in—even though Abbey was not an existing patient—to the compassion we were shown from the moment we pulled into the parking lot, their team met us with immediate kindness, empathy, and grace. On Tuesday, we said goodbye to our 14-year-old dog, Abbey—our Abba, Abba Boo Boo, Boo. I adopted her at 13 weeks old, and she had been by my side through nearly every major chapter of my life. She was family. Just 51 days earlier, we unexpectedly lost our other dog, Cricket, so our hearts were already carrying tremendous grief. Abbey had also been diagnosed with nasal adenocarcinoma last August and was given only weeks to live—but she gave us eight more beautiful months. We made every single day count. When her condition suddenly declined, everything happened fast. We had always imagined saying goodbye to her peacefully at home, but life had other plans. We rushed to CityVet because it was less than five minutes away and we were deeply concerned about getting her help quickly. What we found there were complete strangers who treated our girl—and our family—with such tenderness and dignity during one of the hardest moments of our lives. AJ, Dr. Romeo, and the staff created the most peaceful environment for Abbey’s transition and gave us the space, support, and compassion we needed to say goodbye. In one of our darkest moments, they brought light. We will never forget their kindness, and we will always be grateful that Abbey’s final moments were spent surrounded by people who cared so deeply. Thank you for helping our girl leave this world peacefully.

Our pre-spay appointment was our first time visiting the Southtown CityVet location. Check-in was easy. Vet tech Maru was friendly and thorough. Dr Romeo was professional and informative in explaining the scheduled procedure, possible complications as well as post-op instructions. Our overall take-away was a good one and we look forward to having our pup as a patient here for future care. Update: Within a couple weeks after spaying my dog, my son brought his young dog in for an ear infection and we brought my daughter’s pup in after suffering a horrific freak accident. Thankfully, she’s received wonderful attention and is healing well. So glad we found Southtown CityVet, Dr. Romeo and her great crew!

I want to thank you all for making the cremation process for Meeko smooth. When we picked him up a few days ago, we did not expect all of these! It was such a thoughtful heartwarming gesture for Meeko! I was so surprised and was at awe 🥲 Meeko's little paw prints was just perfect ❤️ We loved everything! RIP Meeko 03.04.26

We had just arrived in San Antonio when we lost or beloved 12 yr old Frenchie Millie. I called CityVet @ 7am unsure what to do. The staff was wonderful they took over everything with the utmost respect and dignity for our girl. I would recommend them for any other pet needs we have now and in the future. Dana W
