Mixed Practice Vet Jobs

Mixed practice veterinarians are trained to diagnose and treat animals from a range of species, from large animals like horses and cattle to small animals including cats and dogs. Mixed practice vets usually operate from a clinic, but often have the ability to travel out to visit farm animals as well.

The duties of a mixed practice vet combine those of farm animals and small animal vets. So mixed practice vets may spend some of their time carrying out wellbeing examinations and performing small animal operations including teeth cleaning and neutering/spaying, while also being called on to perform tasks including artificial insemination, monitoring the health of breeding cattle and conducting pre-purchase examinations.

Working as a mixed animal veterinarian is ideal for candidates looking to broaden their skillset and experience working with a wide range of animals – no two days will ever be the same!
