* ''Series/{{Temps de chien|2023}}'': Antoine is a vet who is really kind to animals. Admittedly, he ''did'' hurt a dog while being live on TV, but this was a case of self-defense given that the dog was biting his arm and wouldn't let it go.

* ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} dreads his visits to Liz the vet, usually for no good reason as Liz does her job fine even as Jon hits on her. Recently, Liz finally started dating Jon. Liz may be good at her job and treat Garfield kindly, but he still hates being told to lose weight or get shots.
* The vet in '' ComicStrip/FootrotFlats'' is usually depicted as kind and good at as his job, if a little rough around the edges (as country vets are wont to be).

* ''Literature/TheThreeainvestigators'': Mary, the live-in vet at the ranch where ''The Blazing Cliffs'' takes place, is very thorough in taking care of sick horses, "babies" them even when they aren't sick and is the only person who can approach the meanest horse on the ranch.

Unusually for the this trope, she isn't a certified veterinarian but we ''do'' see how he treats the humans who come to him for illegal abortions. He takes great care in keeping his place and tools clean, averting the BackAlleyDoctor trope in that he actually cares about his patients' safety. He helps the protagonist and Vida, as well as a young, pregnant teenage girl who is studying brought to be one, him by her parents. Given how gentle he is with her plans [[spoiler:being put on hold when she is arrested as an accomplice them, it's reasonable to the book's ConMan villain]].assume he's nice to his animal patients too.



* In ''Literature/AlwaysComingHome'', a man named Striffen is described as one, healing horses and cattle and in some kind of empathic connection with them.
* Dr. Aybolit from the Russian poem ''Aybolit'' and its multiple adaptations is the epitome of this trope.
* In ''Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKidTheLongHaul'', Greg gets his finger bitten by a piglet the family won in a contest during a road trip. The family's only option for quick treatment is a veterinarian. The vet is friendly and professional and quickly figures out that Greg will be fine since the pig didn't break the skin. She simply applies some antibiotics before giving him a clean bill of health. Greg was so satisfied with the experience that he seriously considers switching over to vets for all of his medical needs in the future.

** In his novel ''Literature/JobAComedyOfJustice'', Alexander Hergensheimer's fate is to be decided by a being who is above God and Satan. Alex is rather scared to be brought before this being, so the being uses Alex's memories of bringing his dog to a KindlyVet, with Alex as the dog.

* ''Series/AllCreaturesGreatAndSmall2020'', natch, as an adaptation of the Creator/JamesHerriot stories.
** Herriot himself is the archetypal ur-example here, giving his all to heal his patients and ''always'' willing to go out of his way to help an animal in need.
** Siegfried Farnon, James' bombastic, eccentric mentor, also qualifies handily; [[BetterWithNonHumanCompany he is not good with people, but with animals he is]] ''[[BetterWithNonHumanCompany amazing]]''. It's truly remarkable to watch him go from snapping at some unfortunate client (or employee, or [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Tristan]]) who has made him cross to gently soothing and treating an animal in pain, often within mere seconds.
* In ''Series/{{Badger}}'', Tom's LoveInterest Steph is the vet at the local wildlife refuge. She is extremely passionate about animal welfare, and pours her heart and soul into trying to save wounded animals.
