Wisconsin Veterinary Examining Board

Veterinary Premises Registration — Wisconsin Licenses Practitioners

No fee is recorded. Three of the state's own indexes describe practitioner credentials only: the agriculture department's A to Z list of the licenses it issues carries three veterinary entries — veterinarian, veterinary technician, and a veterinarian's certification to perform official disease control functions — all of them credentials for individuals; the examining board's page publishes registries for those two professions only; and the professional services department's credential fee table lists no veterinary rows at all. Wisconsin Statutes chapter 89 defines a veterinarian as a practitioner licensed by the examining board and a veterinary technician as a person certified by it. Note where the board sits, because it catches people out — Wisconsin puts its veterinary board under the agriculture department rather than with the other examining boards. Separate agriculture credentials exist for animal shelters, control facilities, dealers, markets and truckers, but none of them is a veterinary practice premises.
