Meet the hospital staff
Veterinarian
Veterinarians are the animal doctors—they figure out what’s wrong when pets are sick, and give them medicine to help them get better. Veterinarians can do more than just regular check-ups and treatments for pets. Some are surgeons who do special operations, while others are dentists who take care of animals’ teeth. Emergency vets help pets that need quick care, like after an accident, and heart doctors (cardiologists) fix heart problems. Some vets work with wild animals in zoos, and others help pets with behavior issues like being scared or aggressive. No matter their job, they all work to keep animals healthy and happy!
