Veterinarian Cindy Bressler filed the claim in a New York City court on Wednesday alleging that the singer paid only $8,200 (£5,468) of the roughly $37,800 (£25,206) worth of charges for care provided to her three dogs, reports The AP.
Bressler, who caters to "prominent New Yorkers and celebrity clients", said that the bills cover only a month of services.
Carey's spokeswoman did not return calls for comment.
