Dr. Anil Patil Dogs Clinic

Down in Ruikar Colony, specifically at Ghadge Patil Hall in Kolhapur, you will find Dr. Anil Patil Dogs Clinic. It is a place specifically for dogs, so as you can imagine, it gets pretty noisy with all the barking and whining. There is always some hair on the floor no matter how much we sweep. The colony is a nice area, and the clinic is a bit of a local landmark for pet owners. We have a small exam table and some scales to weigh the dogs, which is always a struggle with the big ones. People bring in their labs, goldens, and street dogs too. It’s a very hands-on kind of place. We don't have a fancy waiting room, just some space for people to stand with their leashes. Dr. Anil Patil is usually busy checking ears or giving shots. Sometimes it gets a bit chaotic when three or four dogs are in the room at once, but we manage. The smell of disinfectant is pretty strong here, but that’s better than the alternative. We’ve been in Kolhapur for a good bit now and know most of the neighborhood dogs by name. It’s a basic setup but it’s where we spend our whole day. If you are coming by, just look for Ghadge Patil Hall and you will probably hear us before you see us. We try to get through the appointments quickly so the dogs don't get too stressed out waiting.
