The game is fun but still has a lot of bugs, just take that into consideration before buying it.

I recommend this game but only with the help of WeMod, in my case. WeMod helps lessen the stress for me regarding the ill animals you take in. Before the mod I would feel so stressed when I could see they health decline and me being all confused about what to do. Now I can take my time regarding the diagnosis and feel nice and casual when playing. Otherwise it is a nice simulator and a lovely addition is being able to move the buildings and funiture around as you please on your ground. You get to play and take care of some sweet animals, make sure they get a nice match when looking for their new home and you learn about their traits before finding a home.

As someone who wanted to be a Vet for a long time but gave up on their dreams, the Clinic DLC is definitely a way for me to still be able to learn things, while still in a way being able to see procedures from the POV of a Vet. I love this game, although I've definitely grown a connection with some of the animals and felt terrible for putting them up for adoption, I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who's interested in working with animals, or just enjoys taking care of animals. :)

It's a chill game with a good gameplay loop, plus the ability to move your facilities around to better accommodate your needs. A neat mechanic is being able to research potential adopters to ensure the animal is going to the best owner.
