Shadowing is an essential part of preparing yourself not only for vet school applications, but allowing you to get a better understanding of what type of animals you would like to go into practice with. The more hours you have in a wide variety of animals, the better. Listed below are some of the vets in the Cape Girardeau area that encourage students to come and shadow them.
