History Main / KindlyVet

* [[InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals All the Nurse Joys]] in the ''{{Anime/Pokemon}}'' anime.

* Averted in the first ''{{Film/Beethoven}}'', with an evil vet as the villain.

* In RobertAHeinlein's ''HaveSpaceSuitWillTravel'', Kip finds himself treated by an alien doctor, rather, alien KindlyVet, as humans are considered animals by the aliens.
** In his novel ''[[JobAComedyOfJustice Job: A Comedy of Justice]]'', Alexander Hergensheimer's fate is to be decided by a being who is above God and Satan. Alex is rather scared to be brought before this being, so the being kindly uses Alex's memories of bringing his dog to a KindlyVet, with Alex as the dog.

* In a variant, Anthony Guglielmo is a masseuse who developed a sideline giving massage therapy to various animals like penguins, walruses, horses, dolphins etc. Typically, once the animals understand what he is doing to their bodies, they are the first to rush over to this human who makes them feels so good on sight for more.

* Subverted with [[MemeticMolester Doctor Applecheeks]] from ''TomandJerryTheMovie'', who not only kidnaps animals, tortures them, and sells them for money, but also has a tendency to rape ice cream trucks as well.

** Liz may be good at her job and treat Garfield kindly, but he still hates being told to lose weight.

* The vet in ''AzumangaDaioh'' where Sakaki and Chiyo take the injured cat.

* [[InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals All the Nurse Joys]] in the ''{{Pokemon}}'' anime.

* The ''{{Pokemon}}'' games have the same Nurse Joys as the anime, but the 5th generation takes it a step further by having doctors and nurses actually standing on some routes and dungeons. What does a doctor do in the middle of a desert with a never-stopping sandstorm? Why, he takes care of people's {{Mons}}, of course!

* The vet in MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic couldn't do anything to help Spike, but she was nice to him.

While humans have to deal with DrJerk and suffer under the DepravedDentist, animals are often much luckier. When the beloved TeamPet gets ill or [[KickTheDog kicked]], his owners will waste no time getting him to a veterinarian who will go the extra mile to make sure that [[AndYourLittleDogToo your little dog]] comes out A-okay. When not a FriendToAllLivingThings, even a vet cast as frightening ([[HumansAreCthulhu usually from the animal's point of view]]) turns out [[CruelToBeKind to be just doing his job]]. In other times, animals in fiction have this uncanny ability to understand that this human is trying to help them.

* JamesHerriot from ''AllCreaturesGreatAndSmall''. Also in RealLife, as his stories are based in nonfiction. Colleagues Siegfried and Tristan are also as kind as possible to patients.

* There's a kindly vet in ''Georgia Rule'', too. So kindly, he's the only one who can resist sleeping with Lindsay Lohan. It makes sense in context. Sorta.

* Dr. Winston Thormad of ''{{Freefall}},'' who saves Florence's life during the "Canine in the Water" story arc.
