doctor for animals
A doctor who takes care of sick or injured animals.
Schemat użycia:
to take [an animal] to a veterinarian
Częsty błąd:
Learners sometimes confuse "veterinarian" with "veteran" (a person who has served in the military) or "vegetarian" (a person who does not eat meat) because the words look similar. Another common mistake is to think that "vet" always means a doctor for animals; in some contexts, especially as a verb, "to vet" can mean to check something carefully, which is different from "veterinarian" as a noun.
