Animal Doctor

A veterinarian is a doctor who specializes in the treatment and care of different types of animals. There are different types of veterinary services done by this animal doctor, depending on the medical specialty and the place of practice. Old fashioned country veterinarians may have a practice that includes house calls to all the local animals within his jurisdiction. Another veterinarian might specialize in equine reproductive services, offering consulting services to horse breeders.

Most veterinarians can be broken down into one of three categories which are large animal, small animal, and exotic. Large animal veterinarians focus primarily on farm animals such as cattle, horses, goats, sheep and swine. Small animal veterinarians care for the usual pets like cats and dogs, and some may even receive additional training for small exotics like guinea pigs and hamsters. Exotic animal veterinarians are often found in zoos and animal reserves taking care of everything from giraffes to lions.
