Career Opportunities with Companion Animals [DVD]

Companion animals play an important role in the lives of many Americans. The companion animal industry has limitless unique opportunities for those wishing to seek a career working to improve the lives of dogs, cats, rabbits and more.

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Animal Science Department hosted a two-night series on companion animal careers in November 2008. This conference took an in-depth look into the different sectors within the companion animal industry. Professionals who work with companion animals, both as a full time career or through volunteer work, were interviewed to gain their thoughts on the industry and their suggestions for individuals seeking careers working with companion animals.
