Animals are property, simple as that and no matter how much you love them or think of them as family.
A vet could get stuck on the hook for the future bills a damaged animal has to go through after a fuck up. However if the vet kills the animal, all you get typically is replacement costs no matter how much you sue for. I say typically because there are some rare instances, like when it is a certified trained service animal, you could get that additional cost added.
Procedures, medications, and well all things related to treatment of animals is a hell of a lot cheaper to get approval for. Certain drugs or procedures can carry a much larger risk of side effects and or death when it comes to animals versus humans.
Vets also can deny service for any reason and is in no way required to treat your injured animal. You can sit there at the vet with a bleeding Fido with collapsed ribs and on the verge of death without immediate surgery, and they can demand payment in advance if they feel like it.
Many other factors were listed above. From training times to the sizes of loans they have to payback when they start working. They also have less insurance concerns, cheaper equipment, you name it. Yes a CT machine is cheaper for vets because it has to pass less safety levels than a human one.
