The requirements of the pet hospital is more demanding, its camp area must be more than 150 square meters, at least three licensed veterinarians are required to be equipped, but also for the "Animal Clinic License" as well as the opening of the animal regulatory agencies licensed. Pet hospitals must be clearly divided into departments, at least equipped with immunization room, treatment room, laboratory, operating room, pharmacy, infusion room, X-ray room, ultrasound room and post-operative observation room, etc., large pet hospitals may also be a single disinfection supply room, inpatient hospitalization, as well as a number of diagnostic treatment rooms and disposal room. The equipment in the pet hospital is also more complete, such as: hemocytometer, biochemistry, high-speed centrifuge, microscope, anesthesia machine, surgical beds, shadowless light, X-ray machine, ultrasound, electrocardiography, CT, urinalysis, glucose meter, electro-knife and so on. These are more common diagnostic and treatment equipment in large pet hospitals.
