Vet: the animal doctor...
Vets are to animals what doctors are to humans. Vets are specialists in medicine which covers animals and their surgery. To be a vet, you have to do a university course in Veterinary Medicine receiving a Veterinary Physician diploma at the end of this course. This certificate lets you practice medicine and surgery on animals, whether it's pets or wild animals. Vets offer their services either at their home or in a specialized private clinic.
At first, vets worked mostly with livestock in rural areas, such as cattle, pigs, horses, etc. Now days, vets work more and more with pets in urban areas. One of the animals taken the most often to the vet is the dog. In fact, vets play an important role in treating dog illnesses and injuries. The vet is responsible for keeping dogs belonging to kennel clubs healthy and in good conditions. The vet prevents illnesses, allocates treatment for them and operates on them if necessary. In this context, a vet's main function is to improve the health of dogs registered in kennel clubs, to optimize their recovery from injuries and to help with their rehabilitation. |
