No state in the US has educational or training requirements for a veterinary assistant. This is an entry-level position for veterinary staff and training is generally done on the job. There are some schools that offer veterinary assisting programs and "certify" their students however many of these are not overseen by an veterinary professionals or professional organizations and are often taught by people with no education or experience in the veterinary field. For people interested in enrolling in a veterinary assisting program, a wise choice would be to select programs offered by colleges that also offer an American Veterinary Medical Association accredited veterinary technology program or a veterinary assisting program that has been designed or approved by a veterinary professional association.

You can take high school courses such as small animal care and office management. The best way is to go to training courses at your local veterinary. The best training is the one you get as a volunteer. Assuming you live in the United States, there are no requirements for education or training to work as a veterinary assistant.

Umm I feel that this question is stupid. You do not have to go to school any YEARS to become an assistant. You may need a little training but that's about it.

There are voluntary education programs for veterinary assistants that range from a few weeks to a year, but the value of these is variable and most veterinary employers train their assistants on the job.
Yes, but only a "lay" assistant and not a registered technician. A registered veterinary technician has not just a GED, but also an Associate's or Bachelor's degree earned after the GED (or high school diploma).
No, veterinary assistants are not required to have a degree or any sort of certification in California. The only members of the veterinary team required to be educated and credentialed are veterinarians and veterinary technicians.
The high school may have a "medical field preparatory track", but it is unlikely there is a specific veterinary field prep track. In the United States to become a veterinarian you have to complete at least three years worth of undergraduate classes and then another four years of vet school.
Veterinary assistants may have just a high school diploma or GED, or they may have completed a 2-year Associate's degree program.
Assuming that you're referring to a high school diploma, yes you do need one to become a dental assistant. How would you feel to have someone in control of your mouth who didn't graduate high school.
