Jess’s Answer

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!
