Veterinary Professionals
Veterinarians are licensed doctors of veterinary medicine (DVM or VMD) who diagnose, treat, and prevent disease in animals. Like human medicine, veterinary medicine includes a wide range of specialties — from general practice to surgery, oncology, cardiology, and beyond.

General practice veterinarians provide routine wellness exams, vaccinations, dental care, spay/neuter procedures, and treatment for common illnesses and injuries.
