Environment & Culture of the workplace
The working environment is variable. Small animal practices are usually all indoors but working with larger animals will mean you work both indoors and outdoors. You will work long and irregular hours to treat sick or injured animals and when on call, you may work day, night, weekends or over holiday periods. There are physical risks such as being scratched or bitten and a small risk of transmission of disease from animal to human.
