My town has a lot of vets but most the names are generic like
"Street name" Pet Care
"Your last name" animal care
"Your last name" vet hospital
"Your town" animal hospital
and so on ...
I have only lived in three different towns and I have picked my vets by word of mouth. I don't care if the clinic was named "Bitches and others" I would trust the friend making the reccomendation. Now, if I didn't have someone to reccomend a place, I would 1) look for somewhere close or 2) go for the "catchy" name
There has already been some good names but if I started one .... let's see...
Amazing Pet Care
Caring for the pet you love
Your pet is our love
4- legs and all between pet care
Paws, Feathers and other pet care
Well that's all I have for now....let me think of others ...

I'm trying to talk my wife in putting a salt tank in the lobby, if we can spring for it in the loan what the heck were up to $500k so far for the clinic so whats another $20k :thinking: It would be a tax deduction in the clinic as why I keep my tank in my office, and by the way the $500k is cheap were trying to buy as much as possible used and refurbished and are only remodeling a building instead of building new.

I have to disagree with some suggestions. While they are great for pet shops, or pet sitting, or grooming, a vet needs a stamp of professionalism. The name needs to say that this vet can take care of emergencies, handle diseases, and care for the overall health and welfare of pets.

Please share ideas?

The hospital says it all. ER, advanced care, meds, well-care.
However, is your wife going to offer surgery, labs, imaging services? If not, then drop the "Hospital" and go with Clinic.
Also, is it just going to be dogs cats, or does it include exotics. If the later, you will need to emphasize that in advertising.

My wife is leaning towards either Veterinary care center of (town name) or (town name) Veterinary care center.
Keep any ideas coming!

Whatever you decide, make it unique to what other vets in your community are using.
The reason I like the hospital idea, is because that is what attracts me when I look for a vet.

Haven't posted in this for awhile, we never could find a building to put the clinic in that met all of our needs....well we finally found one and have it under contract to buy and we selected the name "Critter Care Center, LLC".
We will be opening in late January early February, took us about 1 1/2 years do finally get to this point! now if I can only find a spot for a bigger and better tank in the clinic!!!
