Veterinary medicine has its roots in ancient Egypt, where humans and animals alike benefited from medicinal herbs. In 1762, Claude Bourgelat founded the first veterinary college in Lyon, France. In 1844, the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons was established. In the US, the first veterinary schools opened in the early 19th century.
