This is very easy to find by Googling. I think you might be justified in leaving it out, as I don't think there's an English equivalent.

Note from asker:
They work for a private company.
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : Yes, but no hyphen. They appear to be part of the emergency services, possibly on a voluntary basis.

confidence medium because Marco, I honestly think you should check with client as to titles of these authors.

"Veterinary Captain" in English is a military officer, a title they would not want to have omitted if that's what they are. However, if they are working in private practice then maybe they are Veterinary research scientists

There can be several CVOs depending on how the individual territories are governed. In Ireland, there is the main CVO and a CVO for each region. Therefore the possibility of a joint research programme is very feasible. In the UK there is one for UK, Wales, NI and Scotland, there is a possibility that these would consult on a given piece of research affecting Great Britain as an entity.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Yvonne Gallagher : it's unlikely that 2 CVOS would co-author the research. A CVO is in charge of an entire country's veterinary practices
