How long do you have to go to college to be a vet?

Question

what do i have to do to become a vet? (specilizing in equine and cattle) how long do i have to stay in college?

Answer 1

6-8 years

Answer 2

roughly around 6-8 years.  you need 2 years pre-med and then about 4-6 years or rotations and experience

Answer 3

8 years, plus alot of extra work (i could list it but i'm too tired. . . i did reseach it at one time)

Answer 4

For me (small animal veterinarian) I need 4 years in prevet and another 4 years, spending the last 1 or 2 years working in the veterinary hospital in the University.

That's 8 years!!

I don't know how it is for equine vets or farm vets...where I plan on going, there's no difference in the time periods I don't think.

So...8 years for me...maybe 8 to 10 for you?
