Veterinary Codes of Ethics

Veterinary Codes of Ethics are guidelines that ensure veterinarians provide responsible, compassionate, and professional care for animals and their owners. They emphasize honesty, integrity, respect for animal welfare, and fairness in decision-making. These codes help veterinarians prioritize animal health, promote honest communication with clients, maintain confidentiality, and uphold the integrity of the profession. Essentially, they serve as a moral compass, guiding veterinarians to make ethical choices that balance scientific knowledge, compassion, and societal responsibilities, ensuring trust and high standards across the veterinary field.
