Our first responsibility as veterinarians is to provide highly skilled medical services. We have a modern, full-service veterinary hospital offering the latest in diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities to our patients. We can provide advanced diagnostic techniques including echocardiography, endoscopic procedures, and ultrasound. Whenever needed, your primary care doctor can call in consulting specialists in radiology, surgery, and internal medicine.
Veterinarians care for pets, livestock, sporting and laboratory animals, and protect humans against diseases carried by animals. They also advise owners on care and breeding. Most veterinarians are in private practice. Some have a general practice, treating all kinds of animals. The majority, however, treat only small companion animals such as dogs, cats, and birds. Others treat both small and larger animals, and some treat only large animals, such as cattle and horses.
Prospective veterinarians must graduate from a four-year program at an accredited college of veterinary medicine with a doctor of veterinary medicine (DVM) degree and obtain a license in order to practice.
Veterinary graduates who plan to work with specific types of animals or specialize in a clinical area such as surgery or radiology usually complete a one-year internship. In addition, veterinarians who seek board certification in a certain specialty must complete a two- to three-year residency program that provides intensive training in specialties.
All states require that veterinarians be licensed before they can practice.
