DVM
This degree stands for doctor of veterinary medicine. People with DVM degrees have graduated from US veterinary schools and earned a doctorate, which is required to practice veerinary medicine. Most veterinarians in the US are DVMs.
VMD
This is a doctoral degree just like the DVM, but it comes from the University of Pennsylvania. The university calls its degree a veterinary medical doctorate and abbreviates it as such.

Most schools award the DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine), but the degree awarded by the University of Pennsylvania is a VMD (Veterinary Medical Doctor). This person will be called "Dr." but will put VMD past his/her name. They have the same level of education, knowledge and experience.

The difference is the school they graduated from. Most give a DVM, but there is at least one in PA that gives a VMD. No difference in education...both are equal.
