Animal Hospital Classes — All 11 Prices & Skills

Every class, level by level — what Lv.1, Lv.2 and Lv.3 unlock

Levelling is rarely linear. Some classes just grow a number, while others hold their real ability back until level 3 — which is the difference between a class that is worth buying today and one that only pays off after a grind. This is the full breakdown, so you can see what you get on day one before you spend the coins.

Documented levelling thresholds: 200 EXP to reach level 2 and 850 EXP to reach level 3. Robux level-skips are also sold, at 199 / 399 Robux — or 180 / 360 with Roblox Plus.

Starting stats side by side — sanity, cash and the signature perk

Every class card shows the same three stats: Sanity, Utility and Starter Money. With no class perks at all you begin a shift on 61% sanity, $0 cash and 3 backpack slots, so read everything below as the margin a class buys you over that baseline. Sanity is the number that actually kills you, and starter cash matters most in the opening minutes, before the shift economy gets going.

The Animal Coin ladder — what each class costs in cured patients

Eight of the eleven classes are bought with Animal Coins — the Intern is free and two more are Robux-only — and coins come from exactly three actions: curing a patient pays 2, blocking an anomaly pays 0.5, and each visitor handled pays 0.5. Those rates are what turn a price tag into a real cost — the full earning breakdown lives on the codes page, which is also where you will find the short answer on codes: the game has no redemption system, so coins are the only currency there is.

Because a block pays a quarter of what a cure pays, anomaly accuracy is the farming method: a cautious shift that rejects everything earns a fraction of a clean one that treats patients correctly. Our tier list recommends the cheapest genuinely good route up this ladder — Secretary (120) → Psychologist (500) → Surgeon (2,500), which is 3,120 coins in total, or roughly 1,560 cured patients at 2 coins each — and suggests skipping Nurse and Paramedic unless you want the variety.

Head Nurse and Secret Agent — the two classes coins can't buy

Two classes sit outside the ladder entirely because they are Robux-exclusive. Head Nurse is listed at 190 Robux and Secret Agent at 890, with regional pricing spanning roughly 80–240 and 360–1,070 respectively. No amount of coin farming unlocks either one, which is the single place where this game's missing code system genuinely costs you something.

• Head Nurse is the treatment and solo-sustain pick. It opens with +3 backpack slots — the coin-shop Nurse's perk at full strength on day one instead of at level 3 — then adds +10 starting sanity at level 2. Level 3 is the headline: the "Special Technique", which the wiki describes both as starting each round with all medicine already in your inventory and as treating a patient with every needed medication at once. Either reading points the same way — at max level the supply-shop loop mostly stops applying to you, which is why it keeps being named the strongest solo class in the game.
• Secret Agent is the combat kit. A 20-round gun, a multi-use scanner and +2 backpack slots, all from level 1. Level 2 raises the gun to 24 rounds and regenerates 1 per round, so it stops being a consumable you ration. Level 3 turns kills into income: every anomaly you shoot pays +4 sanity (when you are below max) and +$5 cash. It is the only class whose kit actively profits from killing anomalies rather than merely surviving them.

They do opposite jobs, so the choice between them is a question about your own runs rather than about power level: if monsters are what end your runs, take the Agent; if running out of supplies is, take the Head Nurse. Everything else on this page is reachable by playing, and the tier list ranks the coin classes against these two directly.

Animal Hospital classes — FAQ

• What's the best free class in Animal Hospital?

  Intern. Its starting-sanity bonus (up to 81% at level 3) is genuinely useful for learning the game, and it costs nothing.

• What's the best class for solo play?

  Head Nurse at level 3 is widely considered one of the strongest solo picks — starting every shift with a full bag of medicine removes most supply-shop pressure. Among coin classes, Doctor and Surgeon give the best sustain.

• How do class levels work?

  Classes level from 1 to 3 using EXP (the June 19, 2026 Class Update added leveling). As a reference point, Surgeon needs 200 EXP for level 2 and 850 for level 3.
