LEGO Friends 3188 Heartlake Vet

LEGO set 3188, Heartlake Vet, depicts a veterinary practice within the Heartlake City setting. It belongs to the Friends theme, was released in 2012, and contains 371 pieces for a build focused on animal care and everyday city services.

Heartlake Vet is part of the Friends theme and fits into the Heartlake City setting. Its subject is a veterinary practice, giving the model a defined role within the city rather than presenting a generic standalone scene. It broadens the theme’s range of everyday locations and supports stories built around care, work, and community life.

The set contains 371 pieces and includes 2 mini-dolls: Mia - Medium Blue Top, Lime Shorts and Sophie - Light Aqua Shirt, Bright Pink Skirt. The build is centered on the veterinary setting and the pieces needed to establish that location.

It is relevant for Friends collectors and for builders arranging a wider Heartlake City display. As a display piece, it reads as a specific service building within the theme. For play, it provides a fixed setting for character interaction and animal-focused narratives. Within Friends, it sits naturally among sets based on jobs, community places, and city services.
