Curious, Would a Animal hospital have any relation to code, As far as hospital grade receptacles. Or HCF hospital grade wiring.

Specs. Don't say it does, Just curious. If they would say, For personal/workers protection reasons.
 
No, it does not have to follow 517 rules.

517.1 Scope. The provisions of this article shall apply to
electrical construction and installation criteria in health care
facilities that provide services to human beings.
 
However the hazards are similar for animals and the specifications may require many of the things that are found in Article 517, but the code has no specific rules.
