In order to be able to practice the profession as a veterinarian in Germany, a separate professional qualification - the license to practice medicine or the permit to temporarily practice the veterinary profession - is required.
The license to practice medicine is granted by the federal state in which the veterinary examination was taken. If the veterinary training has taken place outside of Germany, Germans within the meaning of the Basic Law (GG), as well as citizens of the European Union, are granted the license to practice by the federal state in which the veterinary profession is to be exercised.
