Veterinary Tales

By: Dr. PJ Miller

Narrated by: L.J. Ganser

Dr. PJ Miller's story is unique. Growing up in New York City, who would have thought that he'd complete his veterinary degree at the Royal School of Veterinary Studies in Edinburgh, Scotland? In Cute Poodles, Sweet Old Ladies & Hugs, Dr. Miller has assembled a "greatest hits" of veterinary tales - stories that include colorful clients, wisecracking hospital staff, and pets that aren't always friendly.

It was okay 😐

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).

Great stories

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

Adorable

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.

sweet stories from a vet

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.

Fun, funny, light

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