"Subdomain" after my website name

Is there a way to dynamically create a kind of sub-domain that goes between my website domain and the .com?

For instance, www.onlinevet.com would be something like:

www.onlinevet.dog.com
www.onlinevet.cat.com

technically that would be a domain, not a subdomain...Bename
No. You would have to own dog.com, cat.com, etc..Gourami

That's not possible as domains are processed from right to left in a hierarchical manner meaning that each domain is a subdomain of the domain immediately to it's right. To create a subdomain, it must appear to the left of your domain name. You could create

www.dog.onlinevet.com

as that would have a dog subdomian registered to onlinevet.com, but not

www.onlinevet.dog.com

as that would have a onlinevet subdomain registered to dog.com

As John Weldon says, you would be using separate domains. "dog.com" is it's own top-level domain, as is "cat.com". So you'd have to own the dog.com domain name and cat.com domain name to create your "onlinevet" subdomains for each of those.

@Jørn either that, or we would have to find three people to upvote, and three to downvote, to get him to 1024 :)Implosive

No, only the other way around.

To do what you are requesting, you need to own the domain name "dog.com" and "cat.com".

A subdomain always come before your domain name: subdomain.domain.tld, for example horses.cats.com. You can create the subdomain 'horses', only if you own 'cats.com'.
