Many veterinarians in rural areas usually care for horses and other large animals. In cities, most veterinarians specialize in the care of smaller animals. In 1920, Seattle's pet owners had the benefit of an animal hospital operated by the Seattle Kennel Club.

This photo was taken around 1920 at the Seattle Dog & Cat Hospital. It shows two veterinarians in long aprons preparing to operate on a dog.
