All about Veterinarian
Veterinarians, or vets, are doctors for animals. They treat pets, farm animals and sometimes wild animals, carry out check-ups, give vaccinations and perform surgery. Vets also advise owners on feeding, behaviour and care.
Vets must understand the health of many different species, and they need to be gentle and calm with both animals and owners. Training usually takes several years at a veterinary school, and vets often continue learning throughout their careers.
