First — Vet programs are graduate programs — so you need to get a bachelor’s degree first. Since Vet schools are very selective, you should try to go to the best undergraduate school possible.
Second — there are only 28 Vet schools in the country (including one that just opened). The link below will give you the list of schools. Two are in California. UC Davis is well established. I believe that Western is the new one. Since there are only 28 schools — all are excellent. Most have residency requirements and only accept a few students who do not reside in the states they cover. This means that most people only have one or two schools that they can apply to. It is much harder to get into veterinary school than into medical school. I actually know someone who became a MD because he could not get into Vet school.
UC Davis
UC Davis is really your only choice in California. There are very few vet schools in the US. You can see a full list at the website linked below.
