The profession of "veterinarian" appeared in 1808. It was then that the first veterinary clinic was opened. This profession is interesting, in demand, well paid. Find out how much a veterinarian earns in Russia in 2021.

Who do veterinarians work for?

There are pets in almost every home. Unfortunately, pets get sick too. Only a person with a special education - a veterinarian - can help them. It is on these people that the health and life of animals depend.

To obtain a profession, you must graduate from an agricultural or university of veterinary medicine. Each profession has its drawbacks. In the veterinarian profession, these include:

1. Injury hazard. It is impossible to explain to an animal that a person brings him pain for the sake of help. Often, animals can behave aggressively and even injure the doctor. Sometimes the injuries can be quite serious.
2. Constant stress. There are times when it is impossible to help an animal. The veterinarian has no choice but to put the pet to sleep. Animal lovers are stressed after this.
3. Lack of vacancies. The profession is considered vital, but in Russia there are only a couple of dozen universities where you can get this education.

Loving animals is essential for effective treatment. Work should be fun.

What is the responsibility of a veterinarian

The profession of a veterinarian is in demand everywhere. Not a single zoo, veterinary station, or state veterinary clinic can do without such a specialist. The veterinarian must be able to timely determine the disease of the animal, draw up a treatment regimen and monitor its condition and behavior.

Disease prevention is the direct responsibility of the veterinarian. Specialists in this profession must closely monitor compliance with the standards at the facilities entrusted to them. Timely prevention allows you to prevent disease, thereby making the life of many animals safe, if, for example, we are talking about a livestock farm.

Like a specialist in any profession, a veterinarian's salary depends on several factors, including:
