Watch the clip · Smart Film for veterinary facilities
The clip covers 3 things a vet clinic must have · germ-free and easy to clean · a smooth film surface that doesn't accumulate dust/fur · safe for pets.
In short · where does an animal hospital use it?
There are 4 main spots where a vet hospital gets value from smart film:
- (1)Vet Operating Room — the glass wall separating the surgical zone
- (2)Boarding / Hospitalization — recovery cages that cut visual stimuli
- (3)Exam rooms for privacy and to reduce animal stress
- (4)Reception — the waiting area · every spot uses Smart Film Outdoor + Aquaris™ (PDLC base) that withstands both disinfectant and animal fur
4 install spots · Vet Hospital
1. Vet Operating Room
Outdoor + Aquaris™ · privacy + germ-free
The glass wall of an animal operating room — owners can watch while anaesthesia is prepared for reassurance, and it turns opaque only during sensitive procedures. It can be cleaned regularly with Vet-grade disinfectant without damaging the film surface.
Budget: 8-12 sqm × 11,000 THB ≈ 88,000-132,000 THB
2. Boarding · animal recovery room
Smart Partition · reduces animal stress
Recovery cages fronted with glass, normally kept clear so the veterinary team can see the animals, and turned opaque only for a cage where an animal starts getting stressed at the sight of other animals. It reduces barking and hissing and helps animals recover faster.
Budget: 6-10 sqm × 11,000 THB ≈ 66,000-110,000 THB
3. Animal exam room
Smart Film Indoor · privacy
The glass door of an exam room gives privacy while the vet examines the animal, reducing the sight of other animals looking in (which triggers stress), and clear when open for an anxious pet whose owner still needs to wait outside.
Budget: 2 sqm × 8,500 THB ≈ 17,000 THB/room
4. Reception · Waiting Area
Smart Partition · dog/cat zoning
Separate the dog and cat zones in the waiting area so they can't see each other, reducing the anxiety of waiting animals and putting owners more at ease. Keep it clear when no one is waiting so the space feels open, opaque only at peak hours when several breeds are waiting together.
Budget: 6-10 sqm × 8,500 THB ≈ 51,000-85,000 THB
Frequently asked questions · Vet Hospital
Does smart film really reduce animal stress?
Yes · because animals react strongly to visual stimuli — a dog seeing another dog often barks or lunges, while a cat hisses · opaque frosted glass instantly cuts the visual stimuli between cages, lowering the anxiety hormone (cortisol) and helping animals recover faster · a vet hospital that adopted it reported barking incidents down by over 60%.
Does the film withstand animal odour and fur?
It holds up well · the Smart Film surface is smooth, so it doesn't trap fur and odour doesn't seep into the film surface · wipe it clean easily with an alcohol-dampened cloth for daily cleaning · compared with curtains or carpets that tend to accumulate odour and fur until they need regular laundering, Smart Film is far easier to maintain and far more hygienic.
Will Vet-grade disinfectant corrode the film?
No · InHouse's Outdoor Series + Aquaris™ is designed to withstand quaternary ammonium · chlorhexidine and hydrogen peroxide commonly used in a vet hospital · staff can wipe it clean regularly · the only caution is to never use concentrated bleach directly.
What's the total budget for a small vet clinic (2-3 exam rooms)?
Estimated budget: 3 exam rooms × doors 17,000 + Reception 50,000 + Boarding 80,000 totals about 180,000 THB · the ROI comes from attracting premium customers who pay higher exam fees for a better pet experience · less stressed animals and owners feeling the clinic is premium · compare full prices at → Smart Film Price 2026
What's the budget for a large, premium vet hospital?
A premium animal hospital with 6-10 exam rooms + an operating suite + 20-30 boarding cages plus a lab has a budget of 800,000-1,500,000 THB · on par with a premium human clinic · it supports brand positioning toward international standards such as the Royal Canin Vet Network or AAHA accreditation.
Is it dangerous if an animal jumps into the glass? Which glass is safer?
If you apply Smart Film over ordinary glass, safety depends on the strength of the base glass · for a large Boarding zone or big-dog cages, we recommend Smart Glass Laminated (tempered laminated safety glass) that doesn't shatter into loose shards · read the full build at → Smart Glass Tempered Laminated · 5-layer
Can a Pet Spa or grooming salon use smart film?
Yes · a premium Pet Spa uses frosted glass to let animals relax during grooming · reducing the chaos of surrounding visual stimuli · the glass wall turns clear the moment the owner wants to watch the process · boosting the brand's trust factor · see more pet-business formats → Pet Cafés and Pet Hotels
How does using smart film differ between a vet hospital and a human hospital?
Many vet-hospital standards are close to a human hospital (hospital-grade), differing in the factors of animal fur, animal stress and Vet-grade disinfectants · see more human-hospital detail → Smart Film for hospitals and clinics
