I believe the answer is:

vets

(Other definitions for vets that I've seen before include "Siegfried and Tristan Farnon, for example" , "Investigates thoroughly to ensure suitability, for a job perhaps" , "old soldiers" , "Ex-servicemen and women, in short" , "Inspects (animals?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
