There have been a handful of famous veterinarians, but you won’t achieve world renown by performing dental cleanings on a couple of Miniature Schnauzers. Most famous vets have developed a new drug or discovered a cure for some pet disease, otherwise advanced veterinary science in some way, or written a book or two about their experiences. You may be spending more time in a lab or in your study than at the office directly tending to sick animals, but hey - if the fame is what you’re after, who are we to judge? We are sure Puddin’, the wide-eyed kitten with feline leukemia, will understand.
