∙ 11y agoVeterinarians treat pretty much every animal in the world, so a veterinarian could have patients ranging from tarantulas to giraffes. However, most veterinarians limit the type of animals they treat to domesticated mammals (dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs) and some less common pets (ferrets, rodents like guinea pigs and hamsters and rats, snakes, reptiles, birds).

No, most veterinarian will split their time about 60% communicating with their clients (working with people) and 40% of their time working with their patients (the animals).

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.
