Multi-specialty veterinary hospitals offering board-certified specialist care in oncology, cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, and internal medicine on referral basis.

Within veterinary services (NAICS 541940); the Census Bureau does not split veterinary care by type, so specialty and emergency are not separately sized.
