How to Find an Animal Hospital's Location on a Map
Last reviewed 2026-07-07
A guide to checking an animal hospital's location on a map, using the hospital's own page, map services, and the 114pet directory.
How Do You Find an Animal Hospital's Location on a Map?
Most animal hospitals list their location on their website or on map services, so you can find them by searching the hospital's name or following the map link on the hospital's page. The 114pet directory also provides location information based on public data.
Using the Hospital's Info Page and Map Services
Many animal hospital websites and social media pages include a map in a 'directions' or 'how to get here' section. You can also enter the hospital's name or address into map apps such as Naver Map, Kakao Map, or Google Maps to see its location, along with directions and nearby information.
Looking It Up in the 114pet Directory
114pet draws on public data from South Korea's Ministry of the Interior and Safety to provide an animal hospital's location (coordinates), phone number, and the year it opened. Office hours aren't included, though, so it's best to call the hospital directly before visiting to confirm whether it's open and at what times.
What to Keep in Mind When Checking Location Information
Coordinates based on public data show only an approximate location, and hospitals that opened recently or moved may not yet be reflected. If you need an exact location or more detail, calling the hospital directly is the most reliable way to confirm it.
- Treat map or directory coordinates as a reference only, and confirm the exact location by calling the hospital
- Office hours, days off, and after-hours availability aren't included in the 114pet directory
- Hospitals that recently opened or relocated may not yet be reflected in map or directory listings
This is general information. Please confirm the exact diagnosis, costs, and schedule directly with an animal hospital or veterinarian.
Frequently asked questions
- Where should I check if I don't know an animal hospital's exact location?
- Checking the hospital's official website or social media, or calling directly to ask for the address and nearby landmarks (bus stops, convenience stores, etc.), is a reliable approach. This matters especially for hospitals that recently opened or moved, since map information may not have been updated yet — it's best to contact them directly.
- Why doesn't the 114pet directory list office hours?
- 114pet is based on public data from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and that data only includes basic details such as location, phone number, and year of opening. Since office hours and days off change frequently from hospital to hospital, it's best to confirm accurate information by contacting the hospital directly.
- How do I quickly find an animal hospital in an unfamiliar area?
- Searching for 'animal hospital' or 'emergency animal hospital' in a map app will show nearby hospitals. Availability for night or holiday care may not always appear in the search results, though, so it's a good idea to call ahead and confirm before you go.
