Pets can need a lot of care throughout their lives. This can range from basic check-ups to keep them happy and healthy through to surgical procedures.

What veterinary technician majors don't learn in school is in some ways more important than what they do learn in school, although the coursework of a required vet tech program is obviously indispensable for anyone pursuing this career.

Running a small animal practice is a tiring job. After 20 years as a vet, I was getting sick of going to evening veterinaryCPD meetings after a long day at the surgery. Most of the courses were at least 30 - 60 minutes away from my practice

Often as part of my research into the internet and veterinary practice I view veterinary websites. Some are good and some are quite poor.
