Akil Pet Clinic

At 126 Palaniappa Nagar in Azhwar Thirunagar, things get pretty loud sometimes. That is where Akil Pet Clinic is. When you work with animals, you never really know what the day is going to look like. One morning might be quiet with just a few cats coming in for shots, and then suddenly the waiting area is full of barking dogs. We spend a lot of time cleaning the floors. It’s just part of the job when you have pets coming in and out all day. The clinic isn't very large, so we have to stay organized. We have our scales for weighing the dogs and a table for exams. Sometimes a bird or a rabbit comes through the door too. People in Azhwar Thirunagar seem to really care about their pets. We talk to the owners about what their dogs are eating or why the cat is hiding under the bed. It’s mostly just regular talk. We don't use big fancy words. We just look at the animals and try to see what’s wrong. The shelves are full of different medicines and pet supplies. It smells a bit like antiseptic and dog shampoo most of the time. By the end of the day, we are usually pretty tired and covered in some amount of pet hair. We just lock up and get ready to do it again tomorrow.
