We recognize today as the International Day of Veterinary Medicine, celebrating veterinary professionals worldwide! Animal care has evolved and improved tremendously over the thousands of years from when it was first practiced during the ancient civilizations. The first veterinary school was established in 1762 France by Claude Bourgelat, known as the founder of veterinary medicine rooted in scientific findings. Eventually these teachings and practices would be brought to the United States and other parts of the world as the demand for treatments for disease grew larger.
The need for veterinary care is still as great as ever, with veterinary professionals working tirelessly to continuously provide the upmost care for our pets. Today, we celebrate the dedication, compassion, and expertise of veterinarians and their team worldwide who work tirelessly to ensure the health and well-being of animals.
