Birthday Gifts for Pets

Recently, my husband and I celebrated our beautiful dog’s ninth birthday. I can’t believe we’ve had our sweet canine companion for so many years. To commemorate this special occasion, my spouse and I shopped for the perfect birthday gift. We decided to purchase a nice red collar for our dog. Our dog’s old collar was faded and dirty. Her new, red collar looked amazing next to her sleek black fur. After placing her new collar on her, our dog looked ready to take some memorable pictures. On this blog, I hope you will discover some of the best practical gifts to buy for your pets. Enjoy!

What to Expect When Doing Veterinary Internships

Madison Adams

Veterinary internships are common as a part of veterinary school, and part of your training to look forward to as you get your degree. When you have a veterinary internship opportunity, don't let it slip you by, as an internship gives you hands-on training and a real opportunity to see what you're capable of.

As a brand-new doctor of animal medicine, it's OK to be both nervous and excited to start your internship. Here are things to expect as you go into your program so you come in prepared and eager to learn, and teach.

A few bumps and struggles along the way

An internship in veterinary medicine allows you to put your skills as a vet to the test. You'll have someone to use as a mentor, but for the most part, you'll be left on your own to serve patients and use the education you've learned. You'll have bumps and struggles along the way, so be prepared to ask questions of your senior veterinarians as you're still in training. The more you can accept that you will make mistakes and have a few hiccups as you get started as a vet, the easier your veterinary internships will be to get through.

A lot of new learning and confidence

Imagine being able to be paid for the education you've just acquired and to be able to use your veterinary degree; the average veterinary internships pay over $35,000 a year. As you learn the routines of veterinary practice and learn to navigate unexpected cases and emergencies, your confidence in your career choice and education will grow. You'll learn a lot from your mentors as you shadow, and you'll be able to pass on your knowledge to other students of veterinary medicine as well.

A full schedule that's ever-changing

Veterinary internships usually revolve around dealing with changing schedules, with a certain percentage being dedicated to emergency care. Veterinary internships often involve having to be on-call for certain occasions and require a budding veterinarian to be responsible and present as needed. As you prepare for your own veterinary internship opportunity, make sure to keep your schedule open and keep your other obligations balanced so you can keep yourself on task and ready to work when you're called.

Veterinary internships are designed to help you be the best veterinary specialist you can be. When you dedicate yourself to your career and take your internship seriously, you'll benefit in many ways.
