What Is Animal Hospital Anomaly NPC Speed Upgrade?

NPC Speed Upgrade is a shop upgrade in Animal Hospital. NPC Speed Upgrade increases patient walking speed, with +10% and +12% versions listed. Players usually recognize it from the shop row, treatment shelf, diagnosis screen, or the item already in hand. Patients move faster and wear blue boots when the upgrade applies. The trap is that faster NPCs shorten travel time but can also push room traffic faster than the team expects. If an update changes a timer, shop line, room state, or animation, the prompt in the run is the safer call. Catching NPC Speed Upgrade early keeps sanity, cash, items, and the patient from slipping away.
