Can you do work experience in a vet's surgery or with the RSPCA?

We Answered:

It can be done but finding places in a veterinary surgery isn't easy, especially if you have an agricultural type college near by. These colleges often do animal management / science courses or vet nurse courses which also all require work experience and vet surgeries in particular are likely to give priority to these students.

RSPCA centres shouldn't be too much of a problem as they rely on volunteers. The same goes for animal sanctuaries/rescues in your area so give them a try too. Pet shops would be another option for you if it's animals you're interested in.

I used to work with animals and worked in a couple of pet shops for a while and you'll be surprised how much you can learn. People often dismiss pet shops when thinking of animal work but I think it was one of the best places I've worked.

Anyone done work experience at the RSPCA?

We Answered:

No, but they are a great organisation. Expect lots of sick cats, dogs, rabbits, birds etc.

Work Experience For 14 Year old To become a Vet?

We Answered:

Well RSPCA would definitely be a step in the right direction but like you said you are too young. I would try maybe working at a pet store, or offer a pet watching service over the summer, where you walk dogs and such. But other than that you dont have many options at age 14.

Yes. They will take you on as a volunteer if they think your suitable enough
