Strictly speaking, veterinarians are humans (Homo sapiens), the same as every other human on the planet. However, if you are asking how did veterinary medicine become its own specialized career field, the answer is that in the 1860s the first modern dedicated school of veterinary medicine was established in Lyon, France. When the vet school was able to control a rinderpest outbreak in France, the veterinary school model was adopted around the world.
