Veterinarians check the animal’s heartbeat, look in their ears, and give them medicine to stay healthy and strong. Some veterinarians work in special animal hospitals, while others visit big farms to help cows, horses, and sheep. They are very kind and gentle because they love animals just as much as we do!
By helping our furry and feathered friends, veterinarians make our community a happy place for everyone. They keep our pets healthy so we can enjoy playing with them for a long time. Veterinarians also help make sure farm animals stay strong and well.
- Veterinarians can help over 100 different kinds of animals.
- Some vets take care of zoo animals like elephants and lions!
- The word “veterinarian” comes from a Latin word that means “working animal.”
