How do veterinarians earn money?

Veterinarians earn money through completing their job duties and assignments, same as most other employees. However, veterinarians have the task of providing customer service to owners and medical services to animals.

Also, there are two basic models for how a veterinarian is paid

• salary and commission. Under the salary model, a veterinarian is

paid a set amount of money per pay period regardless of the work performed or the hours worked. Under the commission model, a veterinarian is paid a set percentage of the revenues he/she generates for his/her employer. There is also a blended model called base plus commission that provides a commission to a veterinarian who generates revenue above a set amount.
