"Vets, short for veterinarians, are health helpers for our pets! Many communities have several vets, and some even have a pet hospital. Vets make sure pets such as cats and dogs have the shots or medications they need to stay healthy. They also see pets when they do get ill. Vets talk to pet owners and make sure they know the proper way to care for their pets, whether its a cat, a dog, a ferret, or a pig! Colorful photographs of vets at work, along with their adorable patients, are sure to aid reader comprehension"-- Provided by publisher.
