Veterinarian

Code Book

A veterinarian is a practitioner of veterinary medicine.

Veterinary medicine means to examine into the fact or cause of animal health, disease or physical condition, or to treat, operate, prescribe or advise for the same, or to undertake, offer, advertise, announce, or hold out in any manner to do any of said acts, for compensation, direct or indirect, or in the expectation thereof.

Except as provided under s. 453.05(2), Wis. Stats., no person may offer to practice, advertise to practice or practice veterinary medicine, or use, in connection with his or her name, any title or description which may convey the impression that he or she is a veterinarian, without a license from the examining board.
