Veterinarian
A veterinarian or 'vet' is an animal doctor. Veterinarians work in different places such as private veterinary clinics, animal shelters, farms, zoos, universities, or for the government. They also work with a variety of animals. However, most veterinarians specialize in a few species. In general, veterinarians perform check-ups and surgeries on animals, diagnose illnesses and prescribe medications.
