Hello everyone, my name is Sarah! I am a junior in college about to apply to veterinary school and I am so excited, but I have a question regarding experience for vet school. I have volunteered at this animal shelter since 2018 and decided I wanted a job in the vet department. Once I talked to...

Hi guys! I hope I am posting this in an appropriate place! I'm going to be applying to veterinary school this cycle and had a question about what counts as experience. I've gathered that most anything involving live animals (other than just owning pets, except if you are giving medical...

Does anyone know how vet schools look at animal and vet experience? I have over 1500 hours working with various wildlife rehabilitation centres supervised by RVTs. According to the definition of veterinary experience, none of these hours would count as vet hours because there was no supervising...

So I know its fantastic to have veterinary experience by either working at a vet clinic or shadowing a vet. I am curious how strict admissions committees are on animal experience vs vet experience. I work at a cat cafe and am counting that as animal experience hours (~2,200 hrs). I know it...

I know that personal pets usually do not count under animal experience, but I read that if your pet had a medical condition or disease where they needed constant attention it may count? I had a pet rat who had developed some kind of respiratory problem. The vets couldn't exactly figure out what...

I'm starting pre vet in the spring. A huge concern of mine is balancing work, school and getting the experience hours I need to apply to vet school. I'm nervous because it's hard to find online science classes due to labs (which are time consuming and makes it harder to work), be able to work to...

I currently only have 1,000 for animal experience (pet care technician for a pet hotel) and 20 from shadowing a small animal practice hospital. I know I need more hours, considering I'm about to enter college. Would my 1,000 hours of animal experience count even though it isn't veterinary...

I recently decided I want to start pre-veterinary medicine in January. I looked at qualifications to be accepted into vet school and hours/experience was one of them. I recently got a job at a pet hotel/daycare/spa center. What makes me nervous is, it's not a vet setting. This is my first job...

How is everyone getting a vet to shadow?? I have called all my local vets and nobody allows undergrad students to come in and shadow. I have some hours from a previous internship but I really need to get more vet hours and a vet recommendation. I start applying in May and getting discouraged...
