Best Answer

When the first modern school of veterinary medicine was founded in the 1800s in Lyon, France, the primary reason for teaching a cadre of veterinarians was to control diseases in livestock. As veterinary medicine became established around the world, the primary drive was to care for the animals that humans were in contact with and used in daily life.

This is still a major reason for veterinarians - to examine, diagnose and treat the animals that live with and around humans. However, veterinarians are also valuable for food safety, disease outbreak research, pharmaceutical research and other non-practice based venues.

Another major modern day importance of veterinarians are for people with pets. Eg. cats and dogs. The vet is where these people would take their pets if their pets are sick, injured, or for a medical check.
