UO Veterinary Skill Guide
Veterinary allows you to heal, cure, and resurrect pets using bandages. It’s mandatory for tamers and very helpful for any build that relies on controlled or summoned creatures.
Veterinary is a taming skill in Ultima Online, rated as Easy difficulty to train. This guide walks you through everything you need to raise Veterinary from 0 to grandmaster, including the most efficient training methods, the targets and items to use at each skill range, and the gains you can expect along the way. Whether you are building your first character or optimizing a finished template, the breakdown below will help you train Veterinary as quickly and cheaply as possible.
Below you will find an overview of what Veterinary does, a step-by-step training guide, recommended skill ranges, any bonuses Veterinary provides, and the templates that pair well with it. If you would rather skip the grind, UO King can deliver a ready-made character or the gear you need to support a Veterinary build on your shard.
Use bandages on pets that are damaged, poisoned, or dead (bonded) for the respective actions. Pair with Animal Lore for best results.
