Most veterinarians work in private practice clinics around the world, treating privately owned animals. However, some work in zoos and wildlife parks, others work in the pharmaceutical industry, there are veterinarians in the military and some that work in the government.
In many cases, when a veterinarian is not in private practice, their job title does not include "veterinarian", so it can be hard to figure out where the veterinarians are and what they are doing.

What are some types of employment places offered to veterinarians?
Most veterinarians work as private practitioners in clinics, examining, diagnosing and treating animals. Some veterinarians work for the federal government enforcing humane handling, animal welfare, food safety, and drug withdraw times. Other veterinarians are commissioned officers in the military, where they can be involved in any and all of the above. There are veterinarians working for biomedical and pharmaceutical industries in research and development, and a number of veterinarians working in other places such as zoos and wildlife parks, non-governmental organizations, legislature and NASA.
Are there any other places that veterinarians have worked besides a pet doctor lab?
Yes, large animal and equine veterinarians work where their patients live (barn, pasture, stable, etc.). Military veterinarians work wherever they are deployed around the world. Some veterinarians work in private industry where they are in research labs. Others work with non-governmental organizations around the world, where they can be literally anywhere doing just about anything that involves animals.
Do veterinarians work during the summer?
Yes, veterinarians work during the summer (although, of course, specific veterinarians might choose to take vacations - everyone does get to decide on their own schedule). Since animals can become sick or injured during the summer, just as easily as they can during any other season, veterinarians are needed to care for them. Medical emergencies can happen at any time.
Are there any nice veterinarians to work for?
Yes, there are many veterinarians who routinely work cooperatively with their vet tech team and don't yell at them. If you are currently working at a difficult clinic, I suggest looking around for another clinic to work at.
What types of cars can veterinarians afford?
This depends somewhat on the type of work the veterinarian is in. However, with prudent financial planning, the vast majority of veterinarians can afford pretty much any car they want to buy.
Do veterinarians work day or night?
Some veterinarians do remain on call any hour of the day as well as all weekend and through holidays; however, this is becoming the exception rather than the norm. Some vet clinics do offer emergency service, but the veterinarians within the clinic take turns covering the emergency service so everyone gets a chance to be home with family and get some good sleep.
How does a vet do bills?
In general, veterinarians do their billings like any other medical professionals. They expect payment for services when rendered unless other arrangements are made.
Do veterinarians have to wear uniforms on the job?
In most cases, no - veterinarians simply have to adhere to the dress code of the practice or office they are working in. In general this will mean either scrubs or business casual clothing, plus or minus a white lab coat depending upon the lab. However, there are veterinarians who are on active duty with the uniformed services (Army, Air Force, Public Health Corp, etc) as well as veterinarians who are in the Reserves and the Guard who may be activated. When on active duty, veterinarians in the uniformed services must wear their uniforms as dictated by the military dress code or they are subject to disciplinary action.
Did they explore any other places?
