A veterinarian is a licensed doctor of veterinary medicine (DVM) and may provide vaccinations and other disease prevention treatments—and emergency care—for pet, equine, and food animal owners.
In Nevada, a veterinarian must be a licensed Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) to practice. The Nevada State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners is responsible for licensing veterinarians and ensuring they meet the necessary educational and examination requirements. Once licensed, veterinarians in Nevada are authorized to provide a range of medical services to animals, including vaccinations, disease prevention treatments, and emergency care. These services can be provided to various types of animals such as pets, equines (horses), and food animals (cattle, pigs, etc.). It is important for veterinarians to adhere to state regulations and standards of care, and they may face disciplinary actions for professional misconduct or violations of the law.
