East Coast Pet Clinic

We started East Coast Pet Clinic over on East Coast Road in Kottivakkam because we live around here and there weren't many places for sick dogs nearby. It’s a busy spot, No 1/136, right on the main stretch. Most days it’s pretty loud with barking and people coming in with their cats in carriers. We aren’t a big fancy operation, just a few of us who know our way around a thermometer and some bandages. Sometimes the waiting room gets a bit crowded especially on Saturday mornings when everyone realizes their pet isn’t feeling great. We spend a lot of time cleaning floors and talking to neighbors who just pop in to ask a quick question about fleas or what kind of food is decent. It’s dusty work sometimes being so close to the road but we like the location. You can usually find one of us drinking tea in the back if things go quiet for five minutes. We’ve seen all sorts of animals here, not just dogs and cats, but mostly it’s the local pets from Kottivakkam. The front door sticks a little when it’s humid out, so you have to give it a good push. We don't have a big corporate board or anything like that, just a small crew trying to keep things running and making sure the animals are okay before they head back home. It's just simple work we do every day.
