Satbir Pet Clinic

Working at shop no:-D-02 in Super Mart-2 is always interesting. Sushant Lok is a busy part of Gurgaon, and the mart is the center of it all. You can hear the music from the other shops and the sound of people walking by all day. Our clinic is usually full of noise, mostly from dogs that don't want to be here. I spend a lot of my time cleaning up hair and footprints from the floor. It’s a small space, so when a big golden retriever comes in, it feels like the whole room is taken up. We have a small table for the exams and shelves full of pet food and medicines. It’s not a polished, fancy vet office like you see on TV. It’s a bit messy and it usually smells like wet fur or disinfectant. We get all sorts of pets, though mostly it’s dogs and cats. Sometimes someone brings in a bird or a rabbit. The owners are often more nervous than the animals, so I spend a lot of time talking to them while the vet does the work. It’s a lot of lifting and holding down wiggly paws. By the end of the day, I’m usually covered in some kind of animal mess, but that’s just how it goes when you work with pets. It’s a busy, cramped little shop in a big mart.
