Most of the dogs and cats that they see on a daily basis are there for pet exams or health care maintenance.

It is often necessary to do lab work to figure out what diseases are present, so vets have to be proficient at running lab machines and interpreting laboratory values. X-rays are commonly taken, so vets are radiologists, too. They have to discuss a pet's problems with its owner, so public relations are an important part of the job, too.
