The Accidental Veterinarian

Warm and humorous stories by a veterinarian about the day-to-day life of a small clinic. These are stories not only about treating the tailed, toothy, and feathered—but also about the people who, “in a paradoxical way, reveal their entire humanity when dealing with animals.” The author is an experienced doctor: over many years of practice he worked with a whole zoo of patients, met many vivid and interesting owners, was amazed by the unexpected combinations of pet and owner, and saw examples of real love and attachment.

Here you’ll find the personal story of Dr. Schott—who became a veterinarian by happy accident, yet never regretted that path. Practical tips for caring for your animals will be useful to everyone who takes care of them every day—the doctor generously and clearly shares his knowledge.
