About this listen

Imagine going from neurologist to dermatologist, orthopaedic surgeon to obstetrician, assassin to saviour – all in one day. Welcome to the extraordinary world of veterinary medicine…

In Never Work with Animals, vet Gareth Steel shares the moments of humour, horror and heroism across his 20-year career caring for creatures great and small, from bulls to stick insects.

Thought-provoking, heartwarming and often laugh-out-loud funny, this unforgettable memoir reveals what life is really like for our vets.

Great read for any animal lover

Great read on the life of the average vet, The highs, the lows, and everything in between. At times, sad, but enlightening as we see animal care from the clinical side. I have a renewed respect for vets and the challenges they face on a daily basis.
