When you're feeling unwell, you head to the doctor and tell them all about what's ailing you. Your dog or cat cannot speak, but if they could, they would ask to go to the vet when ill. After all, veterinarians are doctors for pets. Most vets focus on treating dogs and cats since these are the most popular pets, but there are also vets who specialize in treating more exotic pets like gerbils, snakes, and frogs. Regardless of which animal you have, it deserves proper vet care, both for preventative measures and in case of illness.
