The Animal Care Clinic is built on a foundation of compassion, resilience, and vision. Established in 1992 by Dr. Lakshmi Srinivasan, a passionate veterinarian whose love for animals began in childhood, the clinic has grown into one of India’s most trusted veterinary healthcare centers.
Dr. Lakshmi’s journey began as early as Class 4 when she first dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. With unwavering determination, she overcame societal norms to earn her Bachelor’s degree in Veterinary Science (B.V.Sc. & A.H.) in 1986, followed by a Gold Medal in M.V.Sc. Surgery from A.P.A.U. in 1991.
After a brief tenure in government service, Dr. Lakshmi envisioned a facility that would offer round-the-clock care for animals. In 1992, she turned that vision into reality by launching The Animal Care Clinic – among the first veterinary hospitals in India to operate 24/7 under the leadership of a woman.
The clinic offers a wide range of modern veterinary services under one roof, including:
On any given day, the clinic serves nearly 100 pets, including not only companion animals but also exotic species and wildlife from rescue organizations and zoos.
