Physics is really important in many scientific fields, and veterinarian is one of them. All sciences are required to become a vet.

Biology: To actually find out what is wrong with the animal, and cure it.

Chemistry: What kind of medication you would have to use, and if they could be put together to combine a cure.

Physics: The tools, machinery, X-rays and lasers are used in veterinary surgery or diagnosis.

Answer 2

From what i know they are just to get into a veterinary Uni. where a very high majority of students get B's at worst so straight A's give you a good chance of getting in. However there are A level equivalents like a veterinary course which lasts a few years, come out on top of that and you should be fine getting in

Answer 3

Actually, yes you do. Physics is really important in most scientific fields. Suppose per say, you have a cat that comes in the clinic with a breathing problem, you need Physics to answer you here; you must know how much oxygen to give it, and the pressure that the heart can sustain. I am not so sure about your university, but you have to check with them.

Answer 4

Simply because Biology deals with the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy of animals ! Knowledge of an animals origin and development may point a vet to the cause of its illness.

Answer 5

Understanding biology is crucial for veterinarians because they need to have a deep understanding of how animals' bodies function at the cellular, tissue, and organ levels in order to diagnose and treat medical conditions effectively. Biology knowledge helps them decipher various physiological processes, make accurate diagnoses, and develop appropriate treatment plans for their animal patients.
