Great program

Working with Jasmine and her staff at the Dog Daycare was great. They are super friendly and supportive. The location was right in the heart of a really cool suburb with tons of restaurants to sample. They had me walk the dogs twice a day and oversee the “pack” upstairs. My job was to keep them under control and to settle down the dogs if they got too excited. As a dog owner this was right up my alley. Just being around that many different breeds you get to learn a lot about how they are similar and different.

Great overview of the whole VetMed course

As a freshman VetMed student, this internship was a great overview of the whole VetMed course. We had up close and personal look at different aspects of the practice, and I super enjoyed animal surgery. It was also initially a “testing the waters” experience for me, to determine if I really wanted to be a veterinarian. Since we are exposed to real-world issues and concerns of pet and animal-lovers, I realized that I share the same care on the animals as their owners. I am sure now that I am born for this profession!

We offer vet internships abroad, providing you with an up close and personal look at all aspects of the practice – from animal surgery and recovery to intake and customer service. Veterinarians are a “different breed” and this is a chance to find out if working with animals is your calling. It may be possible to assist with surgical operations including anesthetics, surgical scrubbing, shaving, inserting catheters, and other technical procedures. Post-surgery work includes rehabilitation and integrating animals back into their families. Intake is an important role that an intern can help with. Checking in animals and helping them feel comfortable in...
