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!

If you have just graduated from veterinary school and if you're interested in working as a large animal vet, then you should think about applying for a veterinary internship with a large animal vet before you begin working on your own. These are some of the reasons why this could be a good idea.
Experience What a Typical Work Day is Like
You might have worked a part-time job in a more traditional small animal veterinary office at some point while you were in college, which is common among many vet school students who might need a little bit of money to help with vet school costs and other experiences. You might have gained some experience and learned quite a bit while doing this, but you might not really know what a typical workday is like for a large animal vet. Being a large animal vet typically requires you to drive out to different farms to see patients, and it involves working out in the elements sometimes. To be totally sure that working as a large animal vet is right for you, it's not a bad idea to spend some time working as an intern. This will allow you to see if it's right for you, or if you would prefer to work in a different type of environment.
Get Used to Handling Bigger Animals
You might be interested in horses, cows, and other large animals, but you might not have a lot of experience handling them. As you can probably imagine, handling larger animals can be a bit more challenging than handling dogs, cats, and other smaller pets. It can be dangerous, too, since you might have to worry about things like getting kicked by a horse. It's not a bad idea to work as an intern around a more experienced large animal veterinarian for a while before you branch out on your own, since this gives you the chance to get more accustomed to working with bigger animals. Then, when you do start working on your own, you can be a little more comfortable with handling these larger animals and you can know how to do so in a more competent and safe way.
Enjoy Getting Paid
You might assume that you will not be paid as an intern for a large animal vet, but this typically isn't the truth. Although the salary won't be high, you can still be paid for working as an intern, so you'll be ready to start paying your student loans off if you choose the right large animal vet internship.
