Most veterinarians limit their practice to less than ten species, and many limit to just two or three. In the United States, small animal veterinarians primarily see dogs and cats (two species), although some may also see reptiles, birds, rodents or other non-traditional species. Large animal veterinarians tend to see cows, pigs, sheep and goats (four species), although depending upon the area may also see bison, llama and alpacas. Equine veterinarians specifically handle only horses (one species).
