The Veterinary Profession

It Helps to Be...
Patient, compassionate, perceptive, and able to communicate with a wide variety of people.

Veterinarians prevent, diagnose, and treat illness in small animals (such as cats and dogs), large animals (such as horses and cows), or both. They may also research diseases and their cures.

Pets have increasingly become part of the family, and owners are willing to spend more on their health and well-being. Many owners even buy health insurance for their pets.

Veterinary research often leads to breakthroughs in human treatments. For instance, cancer research in dogs is helping scientists make new discoveries about the disease in humans.
