What's that advice- Never work with Children or Animals?  The truth is vets have to work with both- especially when caring for a family's beloved pet. So what does it involve? 

Becoming a Vet takes years of study and work experience. You have to go to University. To increase your chances of being successful in obtaining a university place to study to become a vet you must have completed and have references for substantial work experience placements. Please speak to Mrs Walmsley to discuss this further. 

Qualified Vets have a varied job including:

• Examine animals to diagnose their health problems.
• Diagnose and treat animals for medical conditions.
• Treat and dress wounds.
• Perform surgery on animals.
• Test for and vaccinate against diseases.
• Operate medical equipment, such as x-ray machines.

Maybe you don want the full responsibility of being the vet in which case you could train to be a Veterinary Nurse.  You'll need to: confidently handle and restrain animals. provide nursing care to hospitalised patients, including patient monitoring and health checking, feeding, grooming and walking animals. administer treatments including injections, tablets, fluids and blood transfusions.

There are a whole range of jobs that involve you working with animals you can search the internet easily but here's a good link to get you thinking:
