Whether you’re a human or an animal, an adult or a child, going to the doctor is something most us absolutely dread… and sometimes even avoid at all costs.
Thankfully, doctors and veterinarians don’t take this too personally. In fact, they totally understand! That’s why so many are willing to do whatever they can to make our visits fun. Or, at the very least, not so terrible. People online love to share these moments, so we’ve gathered some of their most heartwarming and funny visits below!
1. “Kitty got a boo boo and the vet made his body cast look like a little shirt and tie.”

The best part of going through all of these stories about visiting the doctor is that we didn’t have to go ourselves. But in all seriousness, we’re so grateful for the doctors and vets of the world, and we can’t thank them enough for going above and beyond for their patients!
