CityVet Network of Veterinarian-Owned Practices to Open Chapel Hill, North Carolina Location

CityVet, a growing network of veterinarian-owned practices serving people through pet care with kindness for more than 25 years, will open CityVet Chapel Hill on November 17 at 89 S Elliott Road in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The clinic will be led and owned by Dr. Kiley Daube, marking CityVet’s 75th location systemwide.

CityVet Chapel Hill will provide a comprehensive range of services, including preventative care, ultrasound, diagnostics, wellness plans, dental care, pain management, and general surgery, with convenient same-day appointments as available. Urgent Care services will also be available to address unexpected health concerns and non-life-threatening emergencies that require same-day attention.

Dr. Daube’s career spans shelter, specialty, and general practice settings, giving her a deep understanding of veterinary medicine from every angle. She first earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design from James Madison University before deciding to follow her lifelong love of animals and pursue veterinary medicine at Virginia Tech, where she earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2011.

Her post-graduate training included a rotating internship in Fairfax, VA and an oncology internship at the University of Pennsylvania. She went on to work in shelter medicine in Charleston, SC, performing high-volume spay/neuter and herd-health work while helping families access care regardless of their financial means. After relocating to Raleigh, she transitioned into private practice and later relief work, serving more than 55 clinics across North Carolina over the past 18 months. These experiences, she says, shaped her perspective on what makes a clinic culture thrive. She also has a special interest in dentistry and internal medicine.

“What I love about CityVet is simple: it’s vet-founded, vet-owned, and vet-led. That alignment lets me focus on being a doctor while having expert support in the background for the business. Everyone is on the same page about how a practice should run — which means better care for pets, better communication for clients, and a stronger team,” said Dr. Daube. “Chapel Hill is the perfect fit for CityVet. It has the energy and ideas of a college town, the warmth of Southern hospitality, and just enough urban feel to keep things moving. The students keep the community young and vibrant, and the close-knit neighborhood vibe makes it a wonderful place to build long-term relationships with pets and their people.”

In Chapel Hill, Dr. Daube already volunteers her time with several local nonprofits. She supports the community cat café’s rescue program as a veterinary volunteer; serves on the board of Animal Aid Alliance, which funds spay/neuter and related resources for shelters; and works with Operation CatNip providing spay/neuter services. As a parent of school-aged children, she also enjoys speaking to classrooms about veterinary medicine. “My background across so many care settings helps me really listen and tailor plans that meet each family where they are,” she said. “That’s how you build trust and outcomes.”

“CityVet’s expansion into Chapel Hill reflects our commitment to partnering with local veterinarians who share our passion for relationship-based care,” said CityVet CEO and president David Boguslawski. “Dr. Daube’s experience, community focus, and dedication to culture exemplify what makes CityVet clinics special. We’re confident CityVet Chapel Hill will quickly become a trusted home for pets and their families.”
