The beneficial effects of living with devoted and playful pets on the physical and psychological well-being of their owners have been well-documented. At the same time, pet owners are committed to maintaining the good health and happiness
of their faithful pets.

In the middle of these beneficial reciprocal relationships between humans and animals are the dedicated, competent practitioners of veterinary medicine who strive with consummate training and skill to cope with the myriad of diseases and injuries that affect these animals.

Where people and science meet
In UB’s Mini-Vet School, you will learn about the causes and treatments of the conditions that affect your pets, as well as some of the latest advances in veterinary medicine.
