* Varied Schedules: Veterinarians often work evenings, weekends, and holidays to accommodate the needs of their patients (animals). They may have rotating shifts or on-call duties.
* Emergency Services: Emergency veterinary clinics often operate 24/7, requiring staff to work outside of traditional business hours.
* Animal Hospital Needs: The needs of animals don't always follow a 9-to-5 schedule, so veterinarians need to be available when their patients require care.
While some veterinary clinics might have standard business hours, many operate with flexible schedules to meet the demands of animal care.
