Caring for your pets during COVID-19
At this unprecedented time, City Paws is here to continue to support St. Louis pets and their families. We understand that many people are unable to bring their pets in, have had changes to work and childcare schedules, and are simply limiting interactions to stay safe and prevent the spread of coronavirus. In order to support our client's needs, we are offering alternative appointment options. Effective immediately, City Paws is offering:
We are following the American Veterinary Medical Association's guidelines to limit elective procedures and in particular, elective surgeries, in order to conserve surgical gloves and masks that may be needed for human healthcare. We are continually evaluating the services we can provide while ensuring that pets that need care can still receive it, and in ways to keep our clients and team stay safe.
We are grateful for the continued support of our business during this time, and are happy to be here for you and your pets! -Dr. Mattes and the City Paws team
Looking for information about pets and COVID-19? At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that animals can get or transmit this type of virus. Thousands of dogs and cats in the U.S. have been tested by a large veterinary laboratory and all found to be negative (full info here).

- Telemedicine: appointments for EXISTING clients only via text, call or video: www.citypawsvet.com/telemedicine
- Curbside concierge service for sick or urgent patient needs. Schedule your appointment by calling our team, and then when you arrive, call or text and our technician will come to your car and escort your pet inside. Our team will complete your pet's exam and treatment while you wait in your car, and we'll communicate with you over the phone! This will help us all keep the recommended safe distance apart while still giving pets the care they need. Drop-off appointments can also be dropped off in this manner.
- Online Pharmacy: order your pet's prescription medications, parasite prevention and pet foods via our online store, and have them shipped straight to your house
