stuffed animals and/or dolls
blankets (we have a couple of doll blankets but also use old receiving blankets)
cardboard box lids (or anything else that could be a bed)
pretend doctor's kit (we have this one: http://www.target.com/p/B-Dr-Doctor-Medical-Kit/-/A-12026416#?lnk=sc_qi_detailimage and we love it; you could also just use medical supplies you have at home)
As E is getting older, she is starting to come up with more ideas for projects and for imaginative play. One of my favorite things to hear her say is: "I have an idea!" Back in August, she found some cardboard box lids that we had lying around for some reason. E decided that she wanted to line them up in the hallway, put animals and dolls in them, and pretend that it was a hospital. So she set to work doing this, and we also found some blankets for the "beds." We got out her doctor's kit so she could treat the patients. Although honestly, she had more fun just arranging the dolls and animals and covering and re-covering them with blankets!
This isn't a very good picture, but it at least gives you an idea of what the animal hospital looked like:
