In addition to advising customers on animal housing, nutrition, hygiene, and general care, veterinarians prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases and problems in animals. They are also capable of doing surgeries. They may be employed by the government, industry, farms, laboratories, or private practices.

This prediction is the result of several factors. While a moderate number of vacancies will result from retirements and employment growth will result in the hiring of many new positions. Self-employment among veterinarians is common with  many of them running their own practices. A increasing pet population, rising spending by customers on services, and prospects in biosecurity and livestock disease control are some of the major developments impacting the industry. Also, it is projected that the application of telemedicine technology(using telecommunications technologies to support the delivery of all kinds of medical, diagnostic and treatment-related services usually by doctors) will increase business opportunities in the industry.
