He became a surgeon in 1759 ans was recruited in 1762 by ClaudeBourgelat to become professor of animal anatomy of the first veterinary school in the world, in Lyon.
He began to prepare a number of pieces that were exposed in the cabinet of the school.
s Bourgelat and Bertin, at this time finance minister, convinced the king of France Louis XV to create a new veterinary school near Paris, Fragonard went to Paris with 5 students of the veterinary school of Lyon.
ClaudeBourgelat (1712-1799), an advocate at Lyons and a talented hippologist, through his influence with Bertin, prime minister under Louis XV., was the first to induce the government to establish a veterinary school and school of equitation at Lyons, in 1761.
This school he himself directed for only a few years, during which the great benefits that had resulted from it justified an extension of its teaching to other parts of France.
Bourgelat, therefore, founded (1766) at Alfort, near Paris, a second veterinary school, which soon became, and has remained to this day, one of the finest and most advanced veterinary schools in the world.
