Paws and Claws: Pet Vet is a pet-raising simulation video game by German studio Radon Labs in which players can nurse dogs, cats, horses, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits back to health.

At the beginning of the game, this involves treating smaller pets such as guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, and birds.

The clinic's facilities can be expanded and altered (for instance, the style of kennels used to house the animals).

The Nintendo DS version utilizes voice recognition via the inbuilt microphone to issue commands to pets as well as to calm them during treatment.

The game has a large playing world in which the character's actions are constrained by what time of day it is in-game.

The forest, beach and town outskirts are areas players can eventually earn by completing objectives.
