Can a zoologist be a veterinarian as well?

I am currently in college studying Biology. My career path is to be a veterinarian but I want to work with wild animals more that domestic. I been looking at other career options and found zoology and became very interested. I am also very interested in working with marine animals but I would like to be their vet as well. #biology #veterinarian #zoologist

Kelly’s Answer

Hi There, I also studied Zoology in the UK. I went on to work with wildlife in Kenya. Zoology will certainly help you towards becoming a veterinarian. If you want to be a vet with wild animals, I would strongly advise you to volunteer at some rehabilitation centres/ zoos. This will also help you decide what you want to do and will look great when applying for vet school. Working with wildlife for vets can be difficult to get into but the most successful vets I know in this area have volunteered extensively. I hope this helps!

Look at volunteering options both locally and internationally
