Top Veterinary Hospitals in Pune: Finding a Vet You Can Trust
28 September 2026 · 6 min read
Pune has one of the better small-animal vet scenes in the country — a mix of long-established neighbourhood clinics in the old city and newer practices that grew with Baner, Kalyani Nagar and the Hinjawadi belt. The catch is that the city now sprawls from Kothrud to Kharadi to Pimpri, and the clinic that everyone recommends may be an hour away when you actually need it. This guide covers what to look for, where the round-the-clock options are, and the monsoon risks worth asking about — plus a verified directory of vets across Pune.
What to look for in a clinic
- Registered vets with small-animal experience — a BVSc/MVSc and years of dog and cat practice specifically.
- Diagnostics on-site — X-ray, ultrasound and a lab mean answers in one visit instead of three.
- Calm handling — watch how staff pick up and speak to a frightened dog.
- Itemised estimates — a clinic that explains cost upfront rarely surprises you later.
- Continuity — the same vet each visit means someone who knows the history.
Round-the-clock and emergency care
Identify your emergency hospital before you need it. Bloat, poisoning, road accidents and Parvo are all time-critical, and Pune traffic between the old city and the eastern suburbs is not something to discover at midnight.
Clinics listing 24-hour availability sit across the city rather than in one pocket — Crown Vet in Aundh and Kalyani Nagar, Tranquil Paws Veterinary Clinic in Baner, Vetic Pet Clinic in Kalyani Nagar, Petaegis Veterinary Hospital in Hingne Khurd, MY PET CLINIC in Wadgaon Sheri and Raintree Veterinary Clinic and Rehabilitation Centre in Ghorpadi. Check current hours on the directory before you drive.
Vets by part of the city
Pune is really several clusters, and PCMC is effectively its own city for this purpose:
- West — Aundh, Baner, Bavdhan, Kothrud: the densest cluster, including PET-AID in Aundh, Crown Vet, Tranquil Paws, Animal Profile Pet Clinic and Diagnostics in Baner, and Dr. Gorhe Pet Cover Clinic in Kothrud.
- East — Kalyani Nagar, Viman Nagar, Kharadi, Wadgaon Sheri, Ghorpadi: PET-AID and Crown Vet in Kalyani Nagar, plus Raintree’s rehabilitation centre in Ghorpadi.
- Old city — Deccan Gymkhana, Erandwane, Shivajinagar, Somwar Peth: Vet Care Pet Clinic, PET-AID Erandwane, Prani’s Veterinary Clinic.
- South and south-east — Kondhwa, Hadapsar, Mohammed Wadi: PetCetera, Animal Medical Services, AmVet Pet Clinic, PETMED.
- Hinjawadi and PCMC — Hinjawadi, Rahatani, Wakad: The Pet Specialist in Hinjawadi Phase II and Small Animal Clinic in Rahatani.
Shortlist two: a nearby everyday vet, and one 24×7 hospital you can actually reach in a hurry.
Low-cost and charitable care
Blue Cross Society of Pune in Mundhwa is the best-known charitable option in the city, treating owned animals as well as strays and rescues at well below private rates. Expect a wait. For vaccinations, routine treatment and rescue cases on a budget, it is worth knowing about before you need it.
The monsoon questions worth asking
Pune’s monsoon is heavy and long, and it changes what your vet should be alert to:
- Leptospirosis — spread through water contaminated by rodent urine, so standing water and flooded streets are the risk. Ask whether your dog’s vaccination covers it and whether they recommend it for your area.
- Ticks and fleas — populations climb through the damp months. Ask what prevention they recommend and how often.
- Skin and ear infections — a coat that never quite dries is how fungal problems start, particularly in floppy-eared breeds.
Questions to ask on your first visit
- Are you open for emergencies, and is a vet on-call after hours?
- What diagnostics can you run in-house today?
- What’s your approach to pain management and anaesthesia safety?
- Can I get an itemised estimate before treatment?
- Do you keep digital records I can access or share?

What should I ask my vet about the monsoon in Pune?
