Amritsar has an estimated 1.5 million (15 lakh) residents in 2025, based on the UN's 2024 World Population Prospects urban-area estimate. That makes it number 54 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Mid (1-2M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.1% a year, it would reach about 1.7 million by 2030, so demand for veterinarians and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Punjab's 1.95 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 2,900 hospital beds in Amritsar, including about 150 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 110 hospitals (about 33 public and 79 private). That is about 513 residents for every bed and around 26 beds per hospital on average. Measured against the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people, the city would need roughly 1,600 more beds, which is one reason private clinics and hospitals carry so much of the load.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 1,900 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Amritsar, supported by around 3,400 nurses and midwives. Veterinarians are registered with the Veterinary Council of India and are not part of the human-health workforce counted above. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many veterinarians practise in Amritsar.
On health outcomes, Punjab's infant mortality rate is 16 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 72.9 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 71% of hospital beds in Punjab are private, so most people weigh private veterinarians against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 veterinarian for Amritsar, and 2 other cities in Punjab have their own veterinarian page below.

How to choose a veterinarian in Amritsar
- Check the qualification: BVSc & AH (Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry), with MVSc for specialists.
- Verify registration with the Veterinary Council of India (VCI) and your State Veterinary Council and note the registration number.
- Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
- Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
Not every listed clinic is open round the clock. Ask about emergency availability, the species treated and whether home visits are offered.
Healthcare in Amritsar: the bigger picture
Using state-level data scaled to its population, Amritsar is estimated to have about 2,900 hospital beds across roughly 110 hospitals, including around 150 ICU beds. Punjab state averages about 2.0 hospital beds per 1,000 people, above the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4. About 71% of beds in Punjab are in the private sector, so many patients choose between private clinics and government hospitals depending on cost and the kind of care needed.
Major hospitals and teaching institutions often associated with Amritsar include Govt Medical College Amritsar. Availability of Veterinarian services varies by department and by day, so check outpatient timings directly before visiting. (This list is general knowledge, not a complete or verified directory, and includes both public and private institutions.)
For context on health outcomes in Punjab: the state infant mortality rate is 16 per 1,000 live births (2024), lower than the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 72.9 years, near the national estimate of 72. These are state-wide figures, not city measurements.
Veterinary care is regulated separately from human medicine, by the Veterinary Council of India and State Veterinary Councils. Clinics differ in whether they treat only dogs and cats or also livestock and exotic pets, and in whether they offer emergency hours, so confirm this when you call.
Before you visit: what to carry
- Bring the vaccination card and earlier reports
- Keep dogs on a leash and cats in a carrier
- Note what and when the pet last ate
