BEIJING: Increasing awareness of the health and well-being of pets among Chinese owners has seen the pet clinic market boom at an unprecedented rate, particularly in the past five years, China Daily reported.

Currently, there are 12,000 pet hospitals in China and more than 10% are chains from established brands.

Also, there are more students choosing small animal treatment as a career, Liu Lang, president of Beijing Small Animal Veterinary Association and a senior vet for more than 30 years, was quoted as saying by the paper. He said there are about 1,600 students graduating with degrees in veterinary medicine every year, and those pursuing careers in pet clinics have gone from less than 10% a few years ago to about 40% today.

But many owners are still experiencing difficulties finding the right vets and clinics in a young market, more so in lower-tier cities. — Xinhua
