Animal hospital allows owners to stay overnight

Just like people, pets can be vulnerable after surgery and need companionship in order to recover more quickly

At most animal hospitals, owners make phone calls to check on the condition of sick pets left overnight. However, in one hospital in Nanjing, capital of eastern China's Jiangsu province, cots and sofas are available for owners who want to stay by their pet's side till morning.

The AMC Center Animal Hospital in Nanjing's Jianye district has 12 folding cots, and there are nurses on duty to take care of the pets at night.
