FAQs

Where do animals sleep at the vet? ›

Most vets will find a soft bed if you haven't remembered one. Larger pets such as bigger dogs, will often stay on the floor for the euthanasia procedure, and the vet will come down to their level, to prevent any distress from being lifted up.

Services. Animal hospitals, also known as veterinary hospitals, typically offer a wider range of services and more specialized options compared to clinics. This doesn't mean that they have a higher quality of service than veterinary clinics, but it does mean that they have more treatments available.

Many treat only traditional or exotic pets such as dogs, cats, birds, small mammals (e.g., hamsters, guinea pigs), reptiles, and fish. Some veterinarians exclusively treat horses.

They may feel aware of their sickness or injury, yet they aren't fully aware that their suffering is about to end. This is also why euthanasia is deemed a peaceful passing. The euthanasia process involves depressing the central nervous system and removing a dog's awareness until it stops breathing.

Most veterinarians believe that cats do not have this knowledge. When given a sedative before euthanasia, cats become relaxed and sleepy, which means they likely don't understand what is happening around them or why they are being given medication.

Equipment. Like human hospitals, veterinary clinics have diagnostic equipment that is expensive to purchase and maintain. Radiology is a huge investment, especially if state-of-the-art digital x-ray and ultrasound machines are utilized.

Reasons to call your vet include changes in appetite, drinking more or less, increased fatigue, limping, yelping (or any other sign of pain), bleeding, blood in the stool, eating a foreign object, excessive restlessness or panting. A simple phone call to your vet costs nothing and the peace of mind is priceless!

While visiting may seem like an ideal way for you to cope with your pet's hospitalization, often it is not recommended. It takes some time for patients to become acclimated to the hospital environment and visiting may interrupt the acclimation process.

What animal goes to the vet the most? ›

Dogs visit the vet the most often not because they are sick, but because they require regular health maintenance like humans. Dogs need to have checkups, vaccinations, and regular care to ensure that they remain healthy.

Cats still need to see the veterinarian regularly, even if they seem healthy. Veterinary care is important for all pets, but it's especially important for cats. That's because cats are masters at hiding their pain and illness. By the time you notice something is wrong, your cat may be very sick.
