Eläinlääkäriasema

Eläinlääkäriasema is the Finnish term for a veterinary clinic or animal hospital. These facilities provide a range of medical services for animals, including preventative care, diagnosis, treatment of illnesses and injuries, and surgical procedures. Eläinlääkäriasemat are staffed by licensed veterinarians and veterinary technicians who are trained to care for various animal species, from domestic pets like dogs and cats to larger animals and exotics.

Services typically offered at an Eläinlääkäriasema include vaccinations, parasite control, dental care, diagnostic imaging such as X-rays and ultrasounds, laboratory testing, and emergency services. Many clinics also offer specialized care in areas like dermatology, cardiology, ophthalmology, and surgery. The primary goal of an Eläinlääkäriasema is to maintain and improve the health and well-being of animals. They play a crucial role in public health by preventing the spread of zoonotic diseases and ensuring the welfare of animal companions and livestock. Appointments are usually required for routine check-ups, but emergency cases are often seen on a walk-in basis.
