Janet's Vet Blog

Hello, my name is Janet and this is my vet blog. I live in Western Australia with my husband and our house full of dogs, cats and other animals. When I was younger, I was never much of an animal person. When my kids were little and they wanted a puppy I always said no and bought them toy animals instead. However, all that changed one day when I found a stray cat in the street. The little thing looked so afraid. I took him to the emergency vet who checked him out and then I took my new pet cat home. Since then, I have fallen in love with animals and learned all kinds of neat things from my local vet. I hope you enjoy my blog!
