With around 1.3 million (13 lakh) people (2025 estimate, from Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate), Mysuru is number 62 among the 100 largest cities in this directory and sits in the Mid (1-2M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 1.5 million by 2030, so demand for veterinarians and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.

Scaling Karnataka's 3.80 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 5,100 hospital beds in Mysuru, including about 250 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 210 hospitals (about 55 public and 150 private). That is about 263 residents for every bed and around 25 beds per hospital on average. On these estimates the city is already at or above the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people.

The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 1,700 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Mysuru, supported by around 3,000 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 Mysuru.

On health outcomes, Karnataka's infant mortality rate is 15 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 74.3 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 73% of hospital beds in Karnataka are private, so most people weigh private veterinarians against government outpatient departments. This page lists 1 veterinarian for Mysuru, and 4 other cities in Karnataka have their own veterinarian page below.

How to choose a veterinarian in Mysuru

  1. Check the qualification: BVSc & AH (Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry), with MVSc for specialists.
  2. Verify registration with the Veterinary Council of India (VCI) and your State Veterinary Council and note the registration number.
  3. Ask what the consultation includes and whether tests, follow-ups and procedures are charged separately.
  4. Look for clear, itemised communication about costs; avoid anyone who guarantees a cure.
  5. 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.

Using state-level data scaled to its population, Mysuru is estimated to have about 5,100 hospital beds across roughly 210 hospitals, including around 250 ICU beds. Karnataka state averages about 3.8 hospital beds per 1,000 people, above the India-wide figure of roughly 1.4.

Availability of Veterinarian services varies by department and by day, so check outpatient timings directly before visiting.

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.
