Veterinarian

A veterinarian is a licensed medical physician who specializes in the treatment of animals. Vets may work out of small pet care facilities where they treat mostly dogs and cats, or out of pet stores that contract certain veterinarian firms. All zoos and some circuses employ vets to maintain the health of their animals.

On the 1970s childrens' comedy series The Muppet Show, one of the recurring vignettes was a mock soap opera called "Veterinarian Hospital", which was a light-hearted wink to the popular daytime soap opera, General Hospital. In the sketch, three of the regular Muppet stars, Miss Piggy, Floyd and Janice worked as doctors while exchanging puns and various sight gags.

On the MTV series Teen Wolf, actor Seth Gilliam has a recurring role as Doctor Alan Deaton - a vet who works out of the Beacon Hills Animal Clinic. In addition to taking care of regular animals, Doctor Deaton's expertise also extends to more extraordinary pedigrees - such as werewolves!
