My daughter-in-law is a "pet vet".
Malpractice insurance for "pet vets" is nearly the same as malpractice insurance for "human doctors". Then there's liability ins. to cover the pet owners that pass through the office. Most vets have facilities to board animals. That requires substancial cost for maintaining/cleaning/staffing/ect.
Vetinary asistants make decent money in many cases. Many vets have 2 or 3 working in their office.
Then there's rent (or cost of ownership) for office space.
Vets have to stock in quite an extensive inventory of meds/supplies due to the variety of species they might treat. That has a cost involved.

With a practice that turned nearly $400,000 gross reciepts in a year, DIL netted less than $35,000 in personal income last year.
After seeing what's involved in operating a vetinary clinic, my personal opinion is, they don't charge enough.
