Veterinarian skill

Reaching level 1 takes just 100 skill points. Moving to level 2 requires 1,440 more points, bringing your total to 1,540 points. The points needed increase steadily as you climb through the early levels.

The point jumps become much larger in the second half of the skill. Going from level 6 to level 7 requires 10,140 points, pushing your total to 29,920 points. Reaching level 10 takes 21,120 points from level 9, for a grand total of 81,580 points.

Being Focused gives a 1.4 gain multiplier, and Very Focused increases that multiplier to 1.6. Avoid working while Sad or Angry, because those emotions drop your multiplier to 0.8. Being Enraged slows your progress the most with a 0.4 multiplier.

You can stack traits and moodlets to multiply your skill gains even further. The Omega Brain Boost moodlet gives a 2 multiplier, while the Strong Mental Affinity trait gives 1.4. General skill boosts like Snaggle Flustered give a 4 multiplier, while Parental Guidance gives a 3 multiplier.

Early levels let you make calming serums and basic treats, and level 4 unlocks the Feelgood Serum shot. At level 5, you can use the Soothe Pet interaction and craft the Wellness Treat. Level 6 unlocks Age-Down and Age-Up treats, level 9 adds Lubricate Tailwagger Joint, and level 10 unlocks the Ambrosia Treat.
