My Vet is a woman and she is the best Vet I know. She is loving yet academic and always looks for a way to help an animal.

Our vet is a female and she’s super good at her job. I’ve never had a male vet some reason.

Our vet is a male… I’ve never had a female vet, although not on purpose. I don’t care if they’re male or female, as long as they’re good!

Our primary Vet is female. A holistic Vet she referred us to is female. Both are wonderful! Our dogs LOVE them.

Our holistic vet is female (and so is her new partner). Our regular vet office has 2 males and one female. They are all wonderful, loving, professionals. We never thought about whether our docs were men or women. Here in our small town, most of the vets are older and male.

My human mom works at a vet hospital. Two of the vets are male, and one is female. In terms of vet techs and assistants, all the ones that work there are female.

Our vet is a male, but we don’t care if it’s a male or a female, as long as they know veterinary medicine. We’ve had two females previously, and they both left rather quickly. One, because her husband’s job took her away; and the other after she had a baby. So, I didn’t look for a male vet, but I did look for one that was from our area, who seem to have family here, and had a smaller chance of “quitting us.”

Present vet is female but the techs are evenly split and there are two male vets at the practice. Prior to this vet, the vets for the dogs is pretty evenly split by sex.

Our main vet is a male. The 2 other vets we have been to: one was a male and the other a female. So 2 out of 3 of our vets are actually male
