Hi I'm a vet with over 30 years experience, the last 20 years with pet animals (dogs and cats mainly) I have owned and operated two small animal veterinary clinics in the UK, one in Scotland and one in Wales. Over the years we have had lots of different pets and we now have a daft crossbreed dog who keeps us amused with her goofy antics, and we're also slave to a very handsome (and spoilt) tabby cat. I understand how important pets are as part of the family, and how worrying it is when they are unwell.
