Today is International Day of Veterinary Medicine, a day to recognize the valuable contributions of veterinary professionals worldwide. The first veterinary school was opened in France in 1762. For hundreds of years, veterinarians have been caring for animals as well as doing significant research to further advance their health and welfare. There are different kinds of veterinarians ranging from those that treat small companion animals to livestock and exotics as well as those who work in research and specialty fields.

AskAriel would like to thank all of the veterinary professionals across the world who are helping to make the lives of animals better!
