What is a
veterinarian?

A veterinarian is a doctor
for animals and helps
treat diseases and
problems animals have.
They mostly take care for
the health of pets, and
zoo animals. Some vets use
their skills to make sure
humans don't get any
diseases animals can
carry.

carry.

What's the worst part of

the job?

The saddest part to me is

thinking about putting a dog
down. Although it may be the
saddest thing you could go
through it's better for your
animal. It is a humane way
to put your dog down it is
Euthanasia- hurrying the
death of your pet. It stops
your pet from suffering. It
could be an Illness,
accident, or other pet
health issues. Your vet will
tell you whether or not to
put your dog down.
