They take care of all kinds of animals and provide services like spay and neutering, vaccinations, emergency care, etc. Plus, they also help prevent certain kinds of diseases from being transmitted from animals to people, such as providing animals treatment for fleas and ticks or other parasites.
Veterinarians work in several locations, such as a clinic, hospital, private practice, zoos, or even in government positions or in research facilities. Some do general animal treatment, while others specialize in one kind of animal, such as cats or dogs or in a specialty like oncology or dermatology of animals.
