It was the most run gag-sketch on the show, I think, followed by Pigs In Space (my personal favorite).

I agree, there are a lot more clever puns in "Vet's Hospital" than in "Pig's in Space." Also, Miss Piggy is a lot more calm in that sketch than she usually is. I'll admit, sometimes the sketch disturbed me in the first season, since Rowlf was the only character with his usual voice, still a lot of the jokes were enjoyable.
