...Veterinarian Students Name Institution Job Description Veterinarians perform almost a similar role as doctors. The only difference is that they treat animals unlike doctors who treat human beings. They study about medicine (specifically veterinary medicine), treat animals and control diseases and injuries suffered by animals. Veterinarians immunize animals against diseases, and also inspect meat to ensure it is safe for consumption, (Dunlop, 2003). Other medical services they perform on animals include surgery, merging bone fractures, recommending suitable diet for animals and prescribing suitable medication. Today, many people view veterinarians as doctors who major in treating pets like family dogs and cat. However, in...

Dr. Croce has turned his decades-long pursuit of cancer remedies into a research empire. He has been the recipient of over $86 million in federal grants. He has also earned more than 60 awards. Some accusations have stated that Dr. Croce overstated his expansive claims for therapeutic promise and that his laboratory is focused on creating more papers than on carefully assessing the data from their experiments. Dr. Croce has been fending off allegations of data falsification and other scientific misconduct. An anonymous critic contacted authorities with allegations of falsified date in Dr....

This research paper will discuss how interest and environment influenced my career decisions throughout the years. Become a Magician, Veterinarian, Psychologist and Accountant are some of various my career selections in the past 18 years. My early childhood career selection was to become a Magician. Why would I want to become a Magician? Because I read a book called “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and I was attracted by those fancy events. In the book, Mr. Wonka has the biggest candy factory in the world, and he can turn impossible things into possible situations. I always thought it would be great if I can have the same ability as him. My career decisions became more realistic while in Middle School and the High School. When I was in Middle School, I wanted to become a Veterinarian after I got my first puppy. I love dogs, and I want to make Veterinarian profession my future career.

...Three programs stood out to me as I did research, and those three are VetOfficeSuite.com, eVetPractice.com, and ezyVet.com. As you read through this paper, I will explain the pro and cons of each different software package. VetOfficeSuite.com was founded in March, 2010, by Eric Bregman, VMD. Eric is the co-owner of the Bregman Veterinary Group, a growing group of Veterinary practices started by his father Dr. Jack Bregman, in Coney Island, NY in 1970. Eric, his dad Jack, and his brother Allan Bregman, DVM, now own 3 veterinary hospitals and a Nuclear Medicine facility in the New York City area, and recently have expanded to Orlando, Florida, where they will have 2 additional full service veterinary hospitals. eVetPractice.com began back in 2011 when our owner and founder, Eddie Heinz, was tasked by his sister-in-law to find an affordable practice management solution that offered the necessary features to run the new mobile practice she was beginning. Dr. Kristen Arp had worked in corporate medicine for some time and new the value of properly managing her business, but like most veterinarians, did not have a background in software and was concerned about making the right choice. Fortunately, she reached out to the family software developer for assistance. ezyVet was founded in 2006 out of the desire for an intuitive, affordable and customisable software that could cater to Veterinary Practices of all sizes and compositions. Plenty of other software options existed but none seemed...

...The Harmful Effects of Declawing on Cats Maria Stanley Washburn University Abstract This paper describes the ways in which declawing a cat does more harm mentally and physically for the cat than good. After describing the declawing procedure, this paper examines the mental and physical harm this procedure can cause to a cat and provides alternative solutions to declawing a cat. Many pet owners believe that declawing their cat is a harmless solution to their natural scratching behaviors, but it has been found that declawing a cat can actually cause more harm than good, as future life-threatening illnesses for the cat, mood swings, and a change in personality. Studies and researchers have tested this theory and found that instead of deciding to declaw their cat, pet owners should look for a safer and better method to prevent them from scratching things up. Declawing It is often believed that there is no serious harm in declawing a cat. Declawing a cat is often seen as a quick fix to stop the scratching that a cat might be doing. It is seen as a way to prevent one’s furniture, and other belongings from being scratched up. What most proponents of declawing do not realize, however, is all of the physical and mental distress that the cat will now suffer for the rest of its life because of this one action. Many people do not realize all of the harm that can come from declawing their cat. Those who believe that it is a quick fix to prevent their cat from scratching...

...Carl Lee Ms.Kao EWRC P.5 382016 World of Dogs Proposal For my project I have decide to research paper on the abuse of domesticated dogs. There are hundreds of cases every across the world. Many dogs are treated horrible and some are even eatin. In most cases when dogs are saved they will suffer from a mental stress disorder from traumatic experiences with previous owners. Some owners abandon their pets which ultimately lands them dead, or in an animal shelter. Most shelter will euthanize animals that do not get adopted within a certain amount of time. There are also those who hurt these animals for fun or enjoyment. The reason I am so interested in this topic is because of many articles I have read, and the pictures I have seen. I once seen an article about a Dog Festival in China where they kill and cook, sometimes alive, dogs. It is a horrible thing to do to these animals who are born with loving hearts. I believe that there are no bad dogs only bad owners. The owner of dog are the ones that change the whole perspective of how dogs are viewed. I always hear people talk about how certain breeds are evil. I don't believe that and I will also like to hear the perspective of those whose careers have to do with dogs. I plan on going to visit an animal, as well as a veterinarian. these are simple sources I can make an appointment with a walk in. They will also be on of the biggest and most reliable sources since they deal with dogs every day...

...Aaron Research Paper TAX FILE MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Mr. Aaron Research Independent Contractor vs. Employee Aaron, a resident of Minnesota, has been a driver for Green Delivery Services for the past six years. Aaron leases a truck from Green and his compensation is based on a percentage of the income resulting from his pickup and delivery services. Green allows its drivers to choose their own shift and does not exercise any control over how the services are carried out. In the agreement with Green, it labels its drivers as independent contractors, maintains no health or retirement plans for its drivers, and each year reports the drivers income by issuing Forms 1099-Misc rather than Forms W-2. Lastly, Green requires its drivers to maintain a commercial driver’s license and remain in good standing with the state highway law enforcement division. Issue: The issue in question is whether Aaron should be classified as an employee of Green Delivery Services or if he is an independent contractor and therefore, should be subject to self-employment tax. Section 3121(d) contains three separate and independent tests for determining who employees are. In general one can be classified as an employee if under the usual common law rules the relationship between him and the person for whom he performs services is the legal relationship of employer and employee. Generally such relationship exists when the person for whom services are performed has the right to control and direct the individual...

...The Lost Innocents Richard Napper University of Phoenix When an individual makes the complicated decision of adding a four-legged member to their family it should be viewed as a lifelong commitment. The majority of people who decide to take in a new four legged family member usually have the best intentions at the time. However, life happens and things tend to change. The puppy who was once small and adorable is now full grown, becoming ignored, and is chewing for attention. The kitten who was once a cute little ball of fur is now not so little and clawing the furniture and using the potty in paces other than the litter box. Maybe there was a job loss in the family, or the individual has become homeless because of financial mishaps. With foreclosure on the rise these days due to a bad economy this is happening more often than not lately. One must plan for these types of issues that may arise in the near or distant future. There are a lot of individuals who believe that an animal shelter is the answer of all answers. The awful truth is they are mostly overcrowded and under staffed. More animals get euthanized inside the shelter due to lack of space than adopted by potential lifelong owners in the animal shelter. The animal shelter should not be used as a way to ease guilt on the former owners’ conscience. It should not be used as a dump site or a place to put your older animal like you would a senior citizen in a nursing home. Is animal abandonment ethically and morally wrong...

...INTERNET MINIATURE PINSCHER SERVICE (IMPS) DC METRO REGION LET'S SAVE MORE MINIATURE PINSCHERS Proposal to Update IMPS Maximum Intake Age William L. Harris Jr, IMPS Regional Coordinator DC, DE, MD, VA, WV 12/13/2014 Informative Abstract: This proposal is the result of research into the effects of the current Internet Miniature pinscher Service policy restricting the intake age limit of five for rescues. The current policy is in effect from a time in the past when money was tight and vet bills were high. The proposal highlights three possible courses of action including maintaining the status quo, changing the limit to seven years and replacing the age limit with a percentage based system to identify how many seniors can be taken in. The author identifies multiple ideas that can be used to bring the veterinary costs down while at the same time allowing more dogs to be rescued. Of the three Courses of Action, only one works today, which is the increase to seven, but there is a way forward highlighted that could eventually result in a removal of the age limit and conversion to a percentage based senior intake system.

...Team Industry Analysis Paper Overall snapshot of industry The pet care industry entails the comprehensive care of domestic animals. For example, when your pet fish needs food, a consumer purchases the fish flakes from a pet supply store. Another example of a segment in the market is a veterinarian. When your pet is sick, you take it to be treated. The overarching industry also includes buying pets. Since the pet care industry is very broad, and dominated by PetCo and PetSmart, we are focusing on the niche daycare (boarding) segment of the industry. The daycare industry focuses on providing supervision, companionship, and exercise services for a consumer's pet while away. In 2011, 63.2% of pet owners considered their pets to be family members according to the American Veterinary Medical Association.5 The demand for quality care of animals while the “parents” are away is incredibly high. The pet daycare industry provides the supervision and interaction that comforts pet-owners during either a long-term, short-term, or even daily stay. The main reasons pets are dropped off at a daycare are either due to vacations or daily jobs that take owners away from pets. Very often in this industry a pet daycare facility will offer other pet services such as grooming, pet food sales, and pet supply sales as add-ons to the primary service of boarding; however, this makes up a small percentage of total revenue. Industry specific statistics and details re: pet daycare and boarding ...
