I am not opposed to veterinary students having the ability to obtain practical experience by providing care to pets in a verterinary clinic. However, I strongly believe the pet's owner should be notified and must be given the opportuntity to deny or give consent prior to a student practicing on their pet.
In addition, veterinary students should be limited to observation only during the first two years of vet school.
