Phraseology

Veterinary Hospital – Including Receptionists & Drivers

Description

Code 8831 applies to employers engaged in operating a veterinary hospital as well as pet grooming and other operations.  Clients bring their pets to veterinarians for their pets to obtain their rabies shots as well as when pets need medical care.  Veterinarians treat ill animals and perform surgery when necessary.  Medicines are prescribed for animals that require treatment for illnesses.

Veterinarians may also groom domestic type animals (dogs and cats) and provide any needed medical care.  Other employers may only perform pet grooming for dogs and cats and do not provide any medical care.  As a service, veterinarians may make emergency visits to the homes where domestic pets reside.
