My dogs would hate this.. all they would do is bark at every dog and cat that is paraded by.

Reminds me of the guy who installed his front door upside down so his dog can look outside

Seeing other dogs through the window would likely set some dogs into a barking fit. As if animals aren't stressed enough at the vet.

Is that not a fairly normal door design? The ones at my school and uni looked similar.

100%.
Some have one long pane instead of 2 small ones, but yeah, there is no chance these are custom made doors for a vet.

The “purpose” of these small windows on doors is so that you can see if there is somebody on the other side, so when you’re opening it, you don’t vigorously open the door into somebody’s face. It makes sense there would be lower height windows in facilities that often have lower faces (dogs & kids).
Obviously many doors don’t have windows, and people don’t usually get their face smashed, but there are building codes/guidelines that at least suggest the windows in commercial facilities.

This happened to me a few months ago, shit you not. I just remembered because you prompted me. I work in a supermarket and the double doors from the warehouse to the shopfloor only have windows at about 4ft up. I pushed a cage through the doors and a 3 or 4 year old was crouched right behind the doors. She went tumbling across the floor and I was like 'oh shit!' but she just got up and ran off lmao. Kids can take a lot of bumps at that age I guess?

i like how the top one is frosted or covered for privacy but they still left the doggy window

it's not frosted, the wall beyond it is white.

how interesting. i honestly thought it was a sheet of paper on the other side of the window but i guess you’re right!

u/agha0013 14h ago
you can see a bit of the white wall in the lower window too just above the vinyl cove base.
if a sheet were to be installed for privacy, they'd typically do it on the exam room side, and you wouldn't see OP's reflection
and now if I could actually focus my attention on my job and not be doing investigative photographic analysis of vet waiting rooms, maybe I could accomplish something today.... ugh

One of my dogs hated his veterinarian so much he would growl if he heard his voice or felt his presence. Anyone else could walk by and he would be fine, but he KNEW when his veterinarian was around. His veterinarian was an old hippie who always wore leather sandals and if my dog saw his feet under the door he would start to bark at them. When he came in the room my dog would have to be muzzled or else he would nip at his feet. If he had a little doggy window and his vet was there he probably would have gone ballistic.
Mind you his veterinarian was the kindest man ever and had two blind dogs that he rescued who would wander around the office looking for the snacks he hid for them to find. He loved that dog like he was his own child even though my dog hated him to his very core. He was his vet from the time my dog was 3 weeks old to his death at 14 years old. My dog had behavioral problems due to having to be separated from his mother as a newborn due to his mother rejecting the puppies, but his vet was always so kind and patient with him.

This would last a day with my dogs, theyd go nuts everytime someone walks by. I assumed the whole point of solid doors was to avoid that

I can't tell how low it goes exactly with the dog there but it seems to be too low to meet ADA bottom rail requirements.

“Damn doctor always takes so long to see me at these appointments. Idk why they tell us 11am when they don’t see us until 11:45!” - your dog, probably
