Top Dog day care centers in Columbus, United States

I can't say enough good things about CityPets!!! My dog had a VERY bad experience with another groomer as a puppy and since, it has been a nightmare any time he needs to be groomed because the poor guy is just so scared. Every single member of the CityPets staff has been kind and patient with us. While Zeus still isn't happy about being groomed, it's a much better (and safer) experience now that we go to CityPets. Special shout out to groomers Taylor and John who have been amazing to work with. Taylor has given me actionable steps to work on with my dog at home to make the process easier and most importantly safe for Zeus. Bottom line, if you're looking for expert and kind care/grooming for your "furbaby", this is the place to go!

Took my dog here for about 2 years since they are in my neighborhood. Everytime I took my dog in we always saw a different vet, and some have been very inexperienced. On my most recent visit, I was up charged for a bunch of tests for my dog with inclusive results and a misdiagnosis. I was able to more accurately diagnose him using Google. But trusting the vet I took home their medicine they recommended and trusted them. My dogs infection got out of control over the next couple days and I had to take him to OSU ER. The doctor there said my dog never should've been prescribed the medicine 614 city pets prescribed, and said that it shouldn't of even been prescribed to treat the "diagnosis" they gave him. A year earlier from a previous visit my dog suffered complications post surgery because his stitching was not done properly. There´s been multiple occurrences where I had to ask for blood work or test results multiple times. The Staff and doctors are all really nice and they do really care, but for the prices they charge and the quality of service and expertise, I feel there are better options in Columbus.

I cannot say enough good things about everyone at CityPets614. We’ve been coming here for almost a year and we consistently receive excellent care, and every person working there is kind, knowledgeable, compassionate, and eager to help. But our visit today was particularly special. We just went in for routine vaccinations for my poodle, but the staff were so incredibly invested in my dog’s overall health and wellbeing that we ended up receiving comprehensive training advice and guidance for how we can make vet visits, grooming, and day to day training more comfortable and less scary for my dogs who struggle with anxiety. Taylor, in particular, blew me away with her knowledge of dog behavior, health, and grooming, as well as her thoughtfulness, and patience and compassion towards me and my dog. She took extra time (like, 30+ minutes!) to sit with my dog for as long as she needed to be comfortable and allow petting. She celebrated my dog, loved on her, and took the time to get to know her and offer all the support and help we needed for future appointments and grooming. Taylor was also incredibly resourceful and then connected me to her colleague at CityPets, Kaysea, who is absolutely an expert trainer, to support us with our training needs when I mentioned what we are working on. Kaysea then listened to me and offered incredibly insightful training advice on how to make progress with my dog. We made a plan to do “happy visits” so my dogs can drop by and get comfortable with the vet, as well as long term training plans to work on my dog’s anxiety. If anyone out there has a dog who is less than excited to be at the vet, make sure you go to Citypets. Ask for Taylor and Kaysea. By the end of our appointment, my dog was relaxed, sleeping, and playing with her toy in the exam room. Absolutely amazing. It feels so good to receive excellent care from thoughtful professionals, and Taylor and Kaysea and the front desk staff went above and beyond today with me to meet all my needs. My dog and I are so grateful. 14/10 ⭐️

We love CityPets! Our dog Lumpy goes crazy for it every time. Whether she is getting pretty by John, which is phenomenal, or just hanging out for her shots, she’s so happy!
They treat her like a superstar, giving her lots of pets, treats, and attention.
(sometimes we think she’d rather stay there than come home!)
If you want a place that treats your pet like family, CityPets is the place. We highly recommend it!

Our dog, Aster, had her first vet appointment at City Pets today with Dr. Burdick. We couldn’t be happier with her and the staff! Everyone was very sweet with her and took the time to hear all of the details of her recent sickness and medical history. Aster can be shy and fearful but she was still smiling after she got her shots! Dr. Burdick had some great suggestions for us on how to manage her allergies, and was very clear about outlining our care options and costs. With the symptoms she was experiencing, any vet facility could have recommended expensive testing and X-rays, but I was happy to see a more rational approach to her symptoms. We’ll definitely be back!

CityPets 614 has been wonderful for my family for our veterinary and daycare needs.
The location is perfect for where we live, walkable but also plenty of parking.

All of the staff I have interacted with have been friendly, kind, and helpful. They all know my dog and are happy to see him. He gets excited every time we go (maybe because he can’t tell if it’s the vet or daycare lol), but even vet appointments are tolerable because he gets lots of love and treats.

I have always been able to get an appointment in a very reasonable amount of time, and in-office waiting is minimal. They have been very communicative about test results and such, and easy to get a hold of with questions. When my dog goes to daycare, they send pics (sometimes twice a day!) which is so reassuring that he is safe and having fun.

I have to make a special mention of Dr. Chapman. I had a very traumatic experience in November 2022 that resulted in the untimely death of a pet. After some time, I felt that I may be ready to adopt another pet, but I had major concerns about the circumstances that led to that incident and the possibility of such a thing happening again. I called the office and to be honest I was sort of desperate- I didn’t know who I expected to talk to or what I expected them to say, but I didn’t want to go into bringing another pet home blindly. The office person quickly got Dr. Chapman who spoke to me for 15+ minutes. She listened to my concerns, validated my fears, and comforted and counseled me. She took time out of her day to help me understand whether my home was safe for an animal and whether I could’ve done anything differently. Her compassion and thoroughness made me a lifelong customer here.

Shared ownership is Dr. Dan and Dr. Jill Bishop. There EXISTS NO FINER CARE FOR YOUR PETS! And, another Party I only understand is included in this Partnership of two entities. Trust me; the Bishops have complete reliability in the success of this Venture.
I know you will be pleased with your pet in their care. Also includes pet grooming and luxury overnight accommodations!

The groomer here is awesome. Our German wired hair pointer never feels anxious or nervous coming here. We have taken her here twice and every time the groomer has nailed it! No extra hidden charges and reasonable prices for grooming.
And they put cute bandanas or bows on the pups when finished :)
