How Old Do You Have To Be To Be A Vet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Question

Just Want To know!

Answer 1

I assume you mean a veterinarian (and not a veteran). It's not really an age thing; you have to finish college and vet school. Most vet's probably are ready to start out around 25?

I hear vet schools are rather hard to get into. Some people say it is harder to get into than medical school because there are so few vet schools.

Answer 2

Children and teens cant be a veterinarian simply because they have not completed the required schooling.  Most college vet programs take about 6 to 8 years.  So if you get out of high school at age 18, you'd be about 24 or so before graduating.

Answer 3

You finish high school at 18.

You finish college (bachelor's degree) at 22.

Vet school is 4 more years, so one is 26 at graduation.

Veterinary residencies can be up to 3 years long, so most vets aren't ready to practice until they are at least 28.

Answer 4

old enough to graduate from high school and college and veterinary medical
