4 years for a Bachelor's Degree (science related is best...like Animal Science)
PLUS another 4 years in vet school.
(or you can become a vet tech in 2 years)
Check out this website for the steps to becoming a vet:

I believe that your Undergraduate degree should be biology related - and then you need to go to Vet school for 4 years after college. After you complete Vet school you take a big test and are a licensed Vet! If you want to be a veterinary technician (rather than primary doctor) your after undergraduate schooling is less.
Good luck!

The schooling is 4 Years of college with big emphasis/ major in some sort of science and then 4 years of vet school. After graduating from vet school you can practice general medicine and surgery. If you are interested in specializing ( cardiology, oncology, orthopedics etc..) you would have a 1 year interndhip followed by a 3 year residency.

Typically, college and vet school takes about 6-8 years. Check out colleges which already have vet schools for a great way to get ahead.
