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 communicating my love of my work through writing, radio, television and the internet.

My mission is to use the media to act as an advocate on behalf of animals.

I am a partner in a busy 4 vet practice in Bray, Co Wicklow, Ireland, but I spend 50% of my working week on media work.

To find out more about what I do, please click on the tabs along the menu at the top of this page.

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

I have had two books published in the UK, USA, Ireland and France. See here for more.


	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, rats, 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!)
