When did Veterinary Schools begin?

The first veterinary schools began in the late 18th century.

Here are some key milestones:

* 1761: The first veterinary school, the École Vétérinaire d'Alfort, was founded near Paris, France. This marked the beginning of formal veterinary education.

* 1792: The Royal Veterinary College, the first veterinary school in England, was founded in London.

* 1823: The Veterinary College of Philadelphia (later the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine) was established, becoming the first veterinary school in the United States.

These early veterinary schools were primarily focused on treating livestock, but they laid the foundation for the modern field of veterinary medicine.
