| Many people think that it is easy to be a veterinarian, but it is not. First, a person needs to acquire the same medical knowledge as a doctor for people. Then, a person has to learn about how different animals have their organs in different places. For example, a dog's heart is in a different location than a cat's heart. Also, a veterinarian should know as many animals as possible because nowadays, people like to have exotic or uncommon animals as pets.
