A vet clinic is stress for animals. Smells of strange beasts, barking sounds, fear. 2026 design minimizes this. We separate waiting zones for cat and dog owners, use pheromone diffusers for calming, and make floors absolutely smooth (claws shouldn't scratch). The reception desk has built-in scales for weighing pets right during check-in.
Species Zoning
Dogs and cats shouldn't cross paths in the lobby. We create two separate waiting zones with visual and sound barriers (partitions + sound-absorbing panels). This reduces stress by 40%. At the reception desk — two service windows. Navigation is clear: paw print floor leads to the right zone.
