Some Vet Tips and Observations.
When I play games I have a tendency to min/max, its a habit. So I thought I would share some of my observations about the vet career, maybe get some new information from the sims community as well. ...

A couple of things that WILL help you out with the Vet clinic -
MASTER HANDINESS SKILLS
Yes, I hear you Dr McCoy - "I'm a doctor, not an engineer!" Just understand that, once mastered, you can upgrade the surgery station, the robot vacuum, EVERYTHING to the point where they don't break/break less often. I have my own personal clinic with everything upgraded - even the toilets!
Another thing that you'll want to remember is that the robot vacuum can only run a few times, before it HAS TO be emptied. Trust me, you WILL know when it's too full. It really struggles to move and has a siren going off. I *think* I counted 5 runs before it starts getting too heavy to run. (Tried to keep count, while running my clinic... :/ )
During the exams, keep those stress levels DOWN - or none would be better! I would recommend getting the Vet perk called "Reduce Pet Stress", as soon as you can. It costs 5000 Perk Points. With it, you could have a pet with stress levels in the RED and instantly calm them down to NONE at all! It's saved my Sim's quistor a couple of times. You can always get "The Vet Coat" (also 5000 points) later, once your Sim has earned the trust of the pet owning community.
Speaking of pet owners, another Vet perk I'd HIGHLY recommend getting is the "Patient Patients" (600 points). While you're not free to go goof off, it does help when your other Vets are being slow.
After exams, make sure that you praise the pets - it makes quite an impression on the owners! I just learned about it not long ago myself. An owner that has rated your clinic at 4 :star: can be brought up to 5 just by telling their pets how good they were!
Hopefully, some of these will be helpful.
