    There is animal psychology, but a lot of them perform experiments you probably don't want to know about. and many of them have to sacrifice the animals after the experiment.

    Check into things like the

    Yerkes primate center

    http://www.yerkes.emory.edu/

    and being a trainer/raiser at a zoo.

    If there is a zoo near you, you could start volunteering now, and getting an idea what you like and what you don't like.

    to be a vet, you usually major in biology or animal physiology as an undergraduate, and then move into vet school.

    you could also start being a volunteer for a vet now.
