Taking care of four-legged family members is a central concern for pet owners. When sick, pets rely on their owners to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment—a responsibility that many animal lovers take as seriously as managing their own health.
Pet care is big business in the U.S., where 66 percent of households–or 86.9 million homes–include a nonhuman family member, according to the American Pet Products Association. In 2023, those pet owners spent $38.3 billion on their animals’ veterinarian care and vet products, a figure that’s expected to top $39 billion this year.
To help people find the best care for their furry (or other) friends, Newsweek is partnering with data analytics firm Plant-A Insights Group for the 2025 ranking of America’s Best Animal Hospitals. Based on more than 5 million customer ratings and reviews, the ranking recognizes the top 500 animal hospitals in the United States that stand out for delivering the highest quality veterinary care.
Loving animals means taking the best possible care of them, and the specialists honored with a spot on this ranking offer the highest level of treatment for some of your family’s most beloved members.
