Freelance Veterinary Journalist

"Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals."

Sir Winston Churchill

"As every cat owner knows, nobody owns a cat."

Ellen Perry Berkeley

I am a veterinary surgeon with a passion for writing and for working in the media. 

My mission is to use the written word in particular and the media generally to act as an advocate on behalf of pet animals.

I am a partner in a busy 4 vet practice in Bray, Co Wicklow, Ireland, but I spend 30% of my working week on media work.

Check my Writing Gallery for testimonials from editors and examples of my work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Pete and pets

 I have had pets in my life since I was five years old, and currently I share my home with a menagerie of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hens, ducks, canaries, a rabbit, a gerbil and a hedgehog. Go to the picture gallery to meet some of them.
( I also have a team of wife and children to help look after the menagerie!)
