A veterinarian is a doctor who saves the lives of pets and farm animals, which are so important to society. He or she diagnoses, performs operations, prescribes treatment, and gives recommendations on how to care for our smaller brothers. The profession requires love for animals and a willingness to help them in a variety of situations. Veterinarians also ensure food security by monitoring the health of livestock and the quality of products. Their work gives hope for recovery to four-legged friends, and gives people peace of mind for those we have tamed.
