World Veterinary Day is celebrated worldwide, each year, to mark the contributions and recognize the need of the veterinarians in the field of healthcare and medical science. The last Saturday of the month of April is observed as the World Veterinary Day, annually. The welfare of animals is intrinsically linked to the welfare of human beings and our world ecosystem.

We are extremely enchanted by pets and most of us want one. Pets are the family members that you get to choose. It is not just about picking a cute animal or one that matches your status; one must keep in mind how the needs of the animal, that you chose, will be met. Adjusting to a certain lifestyle, food habit, standard of living, time that you are able to care for them, attention that they demand are few of the things that should be taken into consideration before you get yourself a pet.
