Honest and heart-warming account of the highs and lows of life as a vet, by lovable TV star. Rory speaks frequently on animal welfare, mental health and is known for his open, heartfelt approach to his work. Rory has had a passion for animals for as long as he can remember. He grew up in the countryside surrounded by animals and it was always his ambition to be a vet. He now works in a busy London practice where his very honest and often emotional relationships with the animals he treats and their owners has made him the relatable and approachable face of veterinary work. In an era when doctors and nurses are talking more openly about the realities of saving human lives, Rory shows what a vital service vets offer in caring for the animals that often form the very heart of the household. He describes the demanding experience of veterinary school, and offers a very human take on what it' s like to treat animals, and the little talked about mental health implications that this pressured life or death industry holds.
Dr Rory Cowlam, better known as Rory the Vet, is a graduate from the Royal Veterinary College and now a member of the Neighbourhood Vet practice based in south east London. Rory' s approach and ethos is centred around education and communication and changing the perception of vets, building a wider knowledge for the general public of the care and health of animals. Rory was nominated for Vet of the Year at the 2018 and 2019 Animal Star Awards and is actively involved with the RSPCA and the Dog' s Trust. He is also an ambassador of the charity project Streetvet. A charismatic and much loved personality, Rory presents The Pets Factor on CBBC and has regular guest spots on Blue Peter, BBC Breakfast and Lorraine.
