I bought this as a Christmas gift for my godchild who will turn 4 in March. She is very interested in animals and has already expressed a desire to be a vet. Admittedly I am a little biased but I think she is a very intelligent child and she loves the animal hospital. She had to get every piece out and examine it immediately upon opening it. I think this would be a very good experience for any child who is interested in animals. It allows them to see some of the instuments that a vet would use and they can set up their own little office. This is not to be used to treat real, live animals though. There are lots of pieces in the set so if you have a child who gets frustrated easily or has trouble keeping track of lots of pieces, this probably would not be a good selection for them.

I bought this for my niece for Christmas. She got tons of toys at the same time but the one she kept playing with over the next few days was this one. It really spurred her imagination. She liked the hard plastic dog it came with (but every stuffed animal made a visit) and the "table" to put all the animals on. My sister liked that it zipped shut at the end of play with all the pieces inside.

I bought this playset as a gift for my six-year-old niece. I was impressed with the number of accessories that came with it (stethoscope, pretend shot, pretend medicines, animal collars, two plastic bandages, a cast, charts, cardboard treats). One really neat thing that got a "COOL!!" from my niece was the X-ray cards. When you put the cards behind the black X-ray, they show bones. The dog that came with the set is cute, but I am sure any child will put all of their stuffed animals through the vet's office...it looks like the kind of toy that will get played with again and again. I also like how the whole playset packs up into a flat carry-all.

I got this for my five year old daughter. She wants to be a vet when she gets older. She really likes the toy and has enjoyed playing with it. Pros...nifty accessories to feel like a real vet...xrays are pretty cool...window that "opens" to greet visitors. Cons...puppy is plastic...not all the items will fit back into the pockets (like the puppy), so the item is not completely self-contained.

I think that this item is a bit overpriced for the size and durability. However, I must say that my daughter loves it anyway. It's also nice that it all folds inside for storage.

This toy is perfect for a child that loves playing hospital. The X-rays are not the best and the plastic dog is just OK, but Beanie Baby dogs are the perfect size to fit (the cone is hysterical!)I thought the price was a little steep, but he has definitely played with it enough to justify the cost.

This has multiple pieces but it is a very fun toy overall and there's lots of room for pretend play with this toy. I highly recommend if your child is interested in taking care of animals or the School house one if they are interested in being a teacher, my 8 year old uses this set to teach my 4 year old about school. It's a great way for them to play together without fighting.

My daughter is a huge animal lover, so we purchased this set for her birthday. It is a cute set. It has everything that an aspiring vet needs. The dog that it comes with is not so cute, it's plastic, but your child can use just about any stuffed animal she has. Webkinz and beanie babies are just the right size. My daughter uses ALL her stuffed animals for this set. They all line up for their check ups! While I thought this set would be a huge hit for my animal loving girl, she doesn't play with it very often anymore. When she first received it, she did, but as the days go on she has lost interest. When she does play vet now, she often will just bring out her small Dr. kit and not this set. As a Mom, I love this set because it's all contained and it's super cute. The price was great here at Amazon. I only paid $19.99 at Amazon. In stores it sells for much, much more.

My daughter received this as a Christmas gift and loves it. She loves the little bones and kibble as well as the little prescription bottles. She has been sending her beanie babies to the vet as well as her American Girl doll and her dog to the vet. It is a very nice toy, and when she is done it all folds up nicely. At first I was a little bummed because I could not get her the Barbie Vet Set as it was sold out everywhere, but this is much better because it just folds up nicely and can be stored anywhere.

My niece who is 6 really likes this set. It's very cute- the little dog that comes with it is adorable. She wants to be a vet, so I did all kinds of research to find just the right set for her. I came upon this one and it had the best reviews. She is hard to please and gets bored easily, so I'm so glad this toy keeps her interest. I especially like that it has educational value as well as the fun factor.
