What is the difference between vets and doctors except that doctors treat humans and vets treat animals?

Other than the obvious part about one treating many types of animals and other only treating only one kind - not much in terms of day to day life.

Relative to the number of applicants there are many fewer spaces for vet school so it is harder to get accepted into vet school than into medical school. Also, many aspects of vet school are harder as the subject material is different for different species of animal. Also, vet students must become proficient in things such as surgery that human doctors usually do not learn until residency (training after medical school).

Veterinarians training is much shorter relative to what they do. They come out of a 4 year vet program considered qualified to do surgery and treat a broad spectrum of medical conditions. Human doctors finish 4 years of medical school not considered qualified to practice any type of medicine (they are not eligible for a license at the end of medical school) and must choose an area of practice and go for several more years of more specialized training.

So veterinary training is more selective and demanding as far as the initial 4 years of school, however, human doctors generally train for 7 to 11 years total and do fewer things - presumably to a higher standard.
