What is a veterinarian?
Veterinarians provide care and pet services to injured animals. Veterinarians can prescribed medication and perform surgeries. Treating animals is different than treating people because animals can not tell you what is wrong. Veterinarians must be attuned to the normal habits of animals and study a sick animal to diagnose their condition.

Veterinarians specialize and work only with large animals, or they can be zoo attendants and treat a specific type of animal or exotic creature. Some vets work in large animal hospitals while others open small clinics in small communities.
If you have a dog, horse, cat, bird or any other type of animal, finding the right veterinarian clinic is important. Talking to friends and family may be helpful. Who have they used in the past? Are they pleased with the service they have received? Other things to consider may include:
- Is the clinic local? If you are going to see the vet regularly for check-ups or for emergency care, finding a veterinarian clinic that is close to your home is important.
- Make sure you talk to a few customers to see if you like the methods and style of the clinic. Clinics should be willing to provide a list of references for you.
- Just like people have a doctor preference, your pet also may naturally gravitate to certain people. Find a vet who your pet likes.
- Find a veterinarian who communicates well and is willing to answer your questions about your pet's conditions.
- Find a reasonably priced clinic that has a similar treating philosophy as you do.
- Find a clinic that has 24 hour emergency care and make sure they will treat your animal.
Your pet can not seek medical care on their own. It is up to you, the pet owner, to make sure they get the type of care and love they need. Everyday Yellow Pages can help.
