CityVet Lower South End

CityVet - Lower South End. Located at 3441 South Blvd Suite A Charlotte, NC 28209 will officially open on Monday, October 20, 2025, and will be led and owned by Dr. Ty Johnson. 

The clinic will provide a comprehensive range of services, including preventative care, diagnostics, wellness plans, dental treatments, pain management, and internal medicine, with special areas of interest in small animal exotics and soft tissue surgery. 

For Dr. Ty Johnson, a love for animals has been a constant in her life.  Growing up as a military "brat", she was constantly surrounded by pets and wildlife and inspired by her father’s love of the outdoors. That early connection led her to Colorado State University, where she earned both her undergraduate degree and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2002. An internship at Animal Medical Hospital strengthened her clinical skills in small animal surgery but also showed her that zoo medicine wasn’t her calling. That realization guided her to general practice, where she has thrived for more than two decades. 

Although caring for animals was always her dream, the idea of running a business never appealed to her. “I never pictured myself opening a veterinary practice because the business side just didn’t appeal to me,” said Dr. Johnson. “CityVet changed that by offering the support I needed and surrounding me with a leadership team that felt genuine and trustworthy. From the very beginning, I felt a real connection, and that gave me the confidence to take this step into clinic ownership.” 

Today, Dr. Johnson pairs her clinical expertise with a strong commitment to client education. She views pet parents as essential members of the care team and makes it a priority to ensure they feel informed, confident, and empowered to make the best decisions for their pets’ health and well-being.
