How many years do veterinarians need to go to school?

Answer 1

Veterinarians must first receive a bachelor degree with the required credits to gain entrance to Veterinarian school. Usually that will take four years, but you can also do it in three years. Then you have to go to Veterinary School for four years.

Answer 2

It takes 4 years (in addition to typically 4 years of undergraduate schooling) to earn your DVM. At that point to can start working, do an internship (typically for 1-2 years) or do a residency. By doing a residency you can become 'Board Certified' in a specialty (like surgery, internal medicine, oncology, etc). Residencies are anywhere from 3-6 years after the 4 years of undergrad and the 4 years of Vet School, typically with a year of internship between vet school and residency. So it can be as much as 14 or as little as 7-8 years after high-school. When you graduate from standard vet school (with your DVM - Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) you can work on any animal, but most people stick to a few species (like small animal, equine food animal or research/government). DVM salaries range from around $50k to $120k and varies by area and type of work.

Answer 7
