Being a veterinarian is the best Job in the world! The diagnosis and control of animal diseases, treating sick and injured animals feels dutiful. I am biased off course, but many of my colleagues thinks the same way too. The fact that I work with animals on a daily basis and have impact on their life and their owners life is very rewarding and amazing. The rewards we feel when we see the pet on recheck examination recovering and performing better is fulfilling. We also contribute to public health by monitoring disease trends. In areas depending on agriculture and large animals stock, their lively hood depends on a good veterinary care. Improving the health of their animals, improves the quality of their life and community too.
