Most veterinarians do not. Animal testing is a laboratory-based experiment that is tightly regulated and overseen by a veterinarian who has been trained in caring for laboratory animals. There are relatively few lab animal veterinarians, partly because the veterinarian must go through an additional 3-5 years of specialty training and pass a specialized Board Exam before working as a lab animal veterinarian.

This will depend on what you are looking for:1.

A good web search for sites for animal testing would be the American Society of Lab Animal Practitioners (ASLAP, an organization for veterinarians that have specialized in treating and caring for lab animals).3.
