Doctors for Animals

1A veterinarian is a doctor for animals. Many people say vet for short. Vets help sick or hurt animals get better. They also help healthy animals stay healthy.

2Many vets work in animal hospitals. People bring their cats, dogs, rabbits and other pets there. Some vets drive to farms to care for horses, cows and sheep. Other vets take care of animals at zoos.

3Animals cannot tell the vet where it hurts. So a vet must look, listen and feel very carefully. At a checkup, the vet often weighs the animal on a scale. The vet may look inside its ears and mouth. The vet also uses a tool called a stethoscope to listen to the animal's heart.

4Many vets say a pet should have a checkup about once a year. At some checkups, the vet gives the pet shots. Shots help keep pets from getting certain sicknesses.

5Why do vets check pets that seem healthy? A checkup can find a health problem early, before the animal gets very sick. Then the vet can help the animal sooner.
