Book review of VETTING: The Makings of a Veterinarian by Dr. Pete Freyburger

VETTING: The Making of a Veterinarian By: Dr. Pete Freyburger

The book VETTING: The Making of a Veterinarian by Dr. Pete Freyburger is a great book if you

take interest in becoming a veterinarian. As someone who has always dreamed of being a

veterinarian it's inspiring to hear someone story who had the same dream as me and made it come

true. Like me, he has always had a love for animals and as he got older developed a huge passion for

them. His stories are all very interesting although some are sad you will learn at least one thing from

each one.

If I rated it on a 5 point scale I would give it 4.5 stars because overall I love it but there was a few

things I would change For example a few of the stories weren't necessary to becoming a

veterinarian but more just about his life and him growing as a person. Which makes believe it was

mis-titled. I had different expectations when it came to the book. I thought it would be about the

steps of becoming a veterinarian and a glance into the life of a veterinarian. To some degree it did

meet my expectations by providing a glance into the daily life and struggles of a veterinarian.

However, with the little negative that came with the book came so much positive. Emotion and

passion pours through the pages and keeps you hooked waiting to see what comes in the next

chapter. A good example of this is when we was explaining the time where he had to put down

his very own dog. It was not only heartbreaking but inspiring knowing that he was strong enough

to know he had to make the right decision even if he didn't want to. As someone who has

witnessed their own dog be put down I couldn't imagine the pain of having to go through it

yourself and put down your own dog.  I would hands down recommend this book to anyone that

has a passion for animals or wants to be a veterinarian. It's truly inspiring and I've learned so much

from it.
