Cute set for animal lovers!
Melissa and Doug have done it again! This play set is perfect for my little animal lover. I love the visual checklist for my little lady to follow as she takes care of all her patients. Bonus points for including a bag to store all of pieces in.

Big hit with my 4yo grand twins!
I’m so grateful that this set came with two plush animals! The twins, who I babysit 2+ days a week, spend a lot of time caring for their ‘pets’. Thankfully no fights when boy took puppy, girl grabbed the kitty. They can give vaccinations, put on a cast, bandages, use the jars and tubes of salve, medicines, and cream for imaginary cuts, rashes, injuries and illnesses. The twins will also use this kit to care for their baby dolls as well! I wish the carry bag was a smidge larger and had a hook & loop closure to keep everything safely inside between uses. Now I just need to find a second stethoscope because that’s the one item that’s hard to share with others. And since they take their pets home at night I really wish there was the option to buy replacement animals because inevitably one or both will go missing. We’ve had some close calls already. I would definitely gift this to any child, age 3-7 or 8. I’m considering sending one to my 10yo grandchild, but not sure if ten may be a bit too old.

Pet vet play
Truly disappointed in the quality and play value of this set. All items do not fit in the bag, had to use a bigger bag. The reason i even gave it 3 stars is because it came with the puppy and kitten. 3 year old lost interest very quickly in the other cheaply items. Would not recommend. Was really disappointed.

Excellent!
I am so pleased with this purchase! My kids love it! Also, I was immediately impressed by how large the animals are- I was expecting much smaller ones. I would highly recommend! 10/10!

Love love love!!!
This kit is so cute and so detailed. My 3 year-old loves it, and I can see her playing with it for years to come. As she gets older, she can start to use the "vet checklist" included to guide her through her medical examination. Cute and educational toy, and amazing value for the money. Highly recommend!

Melissa and Doug have excellent toys.
This was purchased as a gift for my 4 year old grand niece. Her mother said she loved it but I have not been around to see how she plays with it, so I can't comment on that.
