Doctor with furry patients (3)

I believe the answer is:

vet

(Other definitions for vet that I've seen before include "A small animal doctor" , "animal doctor to > investigate" , "Examine carefully for suitability" , "Old soldier (inf.)" , "Ex-serviceman" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
