What are Co Vets?

Co Vets, short for 'Company Veterinarians,' are professionals responsible for overseeing the health and welfare of animals within a business or organizational setting. They may work for agricultural companies, animal production facilities, zoos, or research institutions, ensuring animals receive proper medical care, vaccinations, and disease prevention. Co Vets also play a key role in advising on animal health protocols, food safety, and regulatory compliance, helping organizations maintain high standards of animal welfare. Their work is essential for the productivity, ethical standards, and reputation of companies that rely on animal care.
