There are many benefits to having pets in our lives, including a happier and healthier life. However, without a proper understanding of what the needs of the animals are, the worse our relationship with them will be. Can we design a facility that will provide proper pet healthcare throughout an animal’s life? There is most likely little need for explaining why animal cruelty is wrong but a need to understand what is acceptable and not acceptable. This research strategy would begin with a qualitative analysis based on interviews and messages from various resources to help find any correlations or repetitions that could incorporate a new emergency hospital that would adequately give proper healthcare to pets. Intended for this facility, the intention to create spaces that can provide emergency care, therapeutic care, physical health, and mental wellbeing.NDSU policy 190.6.2https://www.ndsu.edu/fileadmin/policy/190.pdfVeterinary hospitals.Animal health.Bismarck (N.D.)North Dakota.Thesis
