Greetings budding vetlings! This is my first post in my ‘Getting into Vet School’ series. This first post is about work experience hints and tips which I’m hoping will lend itself to helping you get more out of your placements than just a farmers tan and a faecal facemask (Vet life isn’t always glamorous!)! Before…
So, as promised here’s my second instalment in my ‘Looking Back on 2018’ series. If you’re interested in my thoughts on what happened in 2018 – things that struck a chord from around the world then click here.

What happens in Sunny Beach, stays in Sunny Beach … Well unless one of the participants is a keen blogger like myself! Don’t worry vets of the future, if you’re reading this I’ll try to keep it clean! For all those of you who are sat scratching your heads at the concept of Grad holiday,…

A cheeky Travels of a Baby-vet newsletter, if you will… University life continues….. Well, I guess I should begin….at…
Ever wondered what it’s like being a vet student? Well here’s a sneak peak into life on rotations at one of the UK vets schools! So sit back and have a laugh at our expense! The previous six weeks gave rise to my last ever set of small animal rotations (so technically having now completed…

On our final ‘day off’ while at HIS we found ourselves buzzing with excitement at the chance to finally meet the elephant doctors! Our day began the day dog catching (can’t beat a good 5AM start!) and at 7AM got the fellas to drop us off in the city centre to search for breakfast. We…
On a few select occasions we made the difficult decision to drag ourselves from our already disturbed sleep to go dog catching at 5AM.
