  14. California is among one of the states in need of more veterinarians.

    It’s not realized just how valuable they are. They are not only there for your pets routine check ups and vaccines, they are needed in many facilities and situations.

    Shelters to care for pets picked up in distress.
    Those could include not only strays, but runaways or lost pets, hit by cars etc.

    24 hour emergency care, and specialty hospitals for the pets we so dearly love and need cared for.

    This growing lack of veterinarians could result in longer waits and bigger bills.

    Hopefully we will see a boost of care in the near future coming from popular veterinary schools like UC Davis.
