Hello! It's wonderful to hear you're considering pursuing a career as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM). Transitioning into veterinary medicine at 30 is definitely possible and can be an incredibly rewarding journey. Many people enter vet school with varied backgrounds, and your life experiences can bring a unique perspective to the field.
To get started, you'll need to complete prerequisite courses, which you might already have if you have a science background. If not, you can take these classes at a local college. Next, you’ll need to take the GRE or another applicable entrance exam. Veterinary programs are competitive, so gaining experience by volunteering or working in animal-related fields can be beneficial.
One challenge could be the financial aspect, as vet school can be expensive. Scholarships, grants, and financial aid are available and worth exploring. Balancing school with personal responsibilities is also important to consider.
Keep an eye on things like burnout and stress, as the field, though fulfilling, can be demanding. It's crucial to maintain your well-being throughout the process.
Remember, pursuing what you love is always worth it. If you feel ready to take the next step, consider booking a consultation with an academic advisor or with us at Dial A Vet, and we can guide you further.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
