Why work with small animals?

The creatures in the animal kingdom are many and varied. And it takes a lifetime to understand them all.

So the best place to start is with the ones that are most familiar to us, such as cats and dogs.

Moreover, these are the animals most likely to need caring for in a kennel or vets – the places where you're most likely to find work.

So a good knowledge of how to feed and care for dogs and cats is the best starting point.

But it's also a good idea to become familiar with other small creatures, such as mice, rats and amphibians.

They all have personalities

Some people are surprised at how attached they become to such small creatures. But if you've handled different kinds of animals, you know that even the tiniest creatures have personalities and need the same kind of love and attention.

The value of a life isn't based on the size of the creature. And neither should the quality of their life depend on it.

This can be your vocation

You don't need a veterinary degree or licence to work with small animals every day.

Most people who have followed a career in animal care have felt a calling to it. People who love animals love them with all their hearts, and caring for them every day just seems like a natural choice for a career path.

However, if you do choose animal care as a profession, a certain amount of education and training is necessary. After all, you want to make sure you're giving these creatures the best possible care you can.
