Most animal hospitals are able to treat sick or injured pets in an emergency. People with injured pets, such as cats, dogs, birds, reptiles and other small pets, such as rabbits and hamsters, often seek the services of animal hospitals. Animal hospitals can be part of a large chain; or can be run by one or more veterinarians. Many animal hospitals are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to accommodate the emergency needs of pet owners. Some animal hospitals have veterinarians on call for special needs, such as helping a horse that has been trapped in a ravine.
