animal clinics

Where vets work

Animal clinics are facilities where veterinarians examine and treat pets and other animals.

The term is essentially synonymous with veterinary clinic or vet's office: I'm taking the cat to the animal clinic for her shots.

Animal clinics typically handle routine care, vaccinations, and minor procedures, while animal hospitals suggest more comprehensive emergency and surgical services.
