This depends upon the clinic, the contract the veterinarian signed and the species treated. In the United States, most veterinarians do not schedule regular appointments on six federal holidays - Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. However, if the clinic provides emergency services, a veterinarian can still find himself working. This is particularly true of large animal veterinarians in rural areas - there are many veterinarians who miss opening presents with their children because they are pulling a calf or correcting a twisted stomach.

∙ 11y agoYes, veterinarians do work on holidays, as well as weekends and nights. However, most veterinarians are only available for emergency calls and not for routine appointments. Veterinarians also tend to network with their local peers to provide this emergency coverage so that one veterinarian doesn't cover every holiday throughout the year.

∙ 14y agoIt would depend on where you worked, as you would more than likely work on a rota system to provide 24-hour cover, seven days a week. You would carry out most treatments in a surgery, but may also need to travel to treat large animals on farms or other establishments. You could work at any time of day or night, sometimes in unpleasant conditions or distressing circumstances.
