What do I say to them?


Pretty much what you've said to us.

I'd start with something like;

"Hi, my name is Punkykat, I'm a student interested in becoming a vet. Would it be possible to do some work shadowing in your clinic for X number of weeks?"

and then just take it from there.

Before you ring, it's probably a good idea to have a ball park idea of when you'll be free and how long you want to shadow them for.


What does "ball park idea" mean? I'm pretty much always free.


Ball park just means a general idea i.e. not too much detail. That's great that you're always free; you can just tell them that anytime suits you.
