I was excited to see a new book full of vet stories, but the author made the book less enjoyable to listen to. He can be too sarcastic at times and tries too hard to be funny. The characters also weren’t very likeable. The narrator wasn’t great either. Not as good as James Herriot (which I would highly recommend if you want a really good vet book).

It was okay 😐

Too funny. Never thought a vets business could be this funny. A very good read

Great stories

I enjoyed this vet book with the vivacious staff, quirky owners and sweet (for the most part) pets. This was a relaxing read as every chapter was different.

Adorable

This is a great book to pick up when you only have a little time to read, each chapter is a story about a single case. It is a James Harriet type of book with families and the love for their pets.

Nothing amazing or earthshattering, just pleasant recollections of odd pet disorders and odder pet owners.

Fun, funny, light

We have a lot of pets and are very familiar with visits to the vet. I loved this book. Made me laugh, and I learned a lot. Most of all I will be a very good client for my vet after listening to this book. A+

Loved it!

I liked learning about the medical parts of the job, process of problem solving, but eventually had to stop listening. I started getting distracted by the representation of the other people in the book, which was taking away from the quality story and science. About half way in I started noticing that all the women were described by their physical characteristics as much as their personality. The men were not described this way. At first I thought it was just me, but then my boyfriend noticed it too after listening to it for just a little bit, overhearing it in the next room and was bothered. I also did not like the characterizing of the LGBTQAI community. No matter how good the story was, eventually we had to stop because of the dismissive nature of other people.

It's too bad because the story is good, but the lack of respect / dismissive views of most of the other people became so overwhelming, that I just had to stop. Which made me sad because the experience is well described, it was informing and entertaining.

I still think it's a good book, and if those sorts of things don't bother you, it will be a fine listen. Much of me wants to complete the book, and this really is a MINOR element, I feel silly even talking about it, but as a woman who is in science, it was something I couldn't continue with.

The science was good, the view of people tho...

I like stories-glad it didn’t get too sad. But appreciated that he mentioned the reality of a vet clinic.

Good vet!

This book was nice and fun to listen to. It explains the small nuances of veterinary medicine that people may not consider when deciding to become a vet. I learned a lot and enjoyed the stories.

Interesting
