Veterinarians
Being a veterinarian requires a lot of hard work and studying.
Vets have to know how animals’ bodies work inside and out. As we know, animals look different from each other on the outside. A pig looks different from a cow, right? Well, they look different on the inside, too! And while people can tell their doctor why they don’t feel well or what hurts, animals can’t!
Veterinarians
Veterinarians have to be able to examine the animal, talk to its owner and from there figure out what may be wrong and what tests to run.
Veterinarians
Most vets first go to college for four years and then to veterinary school for four-five years.
Getting into vet school is very competitive!
All that hard work can lead to a very rewarding career with our furry friends!
Veterinarians are animal lovers andunderstand the value of animals in our familiesand society.

Find you state and county.
Now estimate the number of dogs in your county:
# of persons within your community divided by 2.67 = total number of households
# of households in the area you are estimating x 0.361 (percent of dog owners) = total number of dog owning households
# of dog owning households x 1.6 (mean number per household) = total dog population

Now estimate the number of dogs in your county:
# of people within your community divided by 2.67 = total number of households
202,667/2.67 = 75,905 households # of households in the area you are estimating x 0.361 (percent of dog owners) = total number of dog owning households
75,905 x 0.361 = 27,401 dog owning households
