Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick: new book is a tale of one man and his dog

“The point of this book is that life is full of ups and downs, but the unique quality of an animal companion is unconditional love...”

Professor Noel Fitzpatrick has been at the forefront of ground-breaking veterinary surgery for decades now, pioneering neuro-orthopaedic surgeries for animals and promoting an idea he terms ‘One Medicine with his Humanimal Trust’ (more about that to follow). 

As well as working all hours at his veterinary hospital in Surrey, he has found the time to write memoirs and children’s books, make several series of the TV show Supervet, and tour venues up and down Ireland and the UK talking about himself and his work.
