veterinary hospital
Animal medical center
A veterinary hospital is a medical facility for treating animals, typically offering more comprehensive services than a standard veterinary clinic—surgery, emergency care, diagnostic imaging, and overnight stays.
Large animals like horses may be treated at specialized equine hospitals.
The vet recommended we take the dog to the veterinary hospital for X-rays.
