Dr. Joanna Woodnutt, MRCVS (Veterinarian)

Dr. Joanna Woodnutt graduated from the University of Nottingham and holds a degree in Veterinary Science (BVMedSci) and a degree in Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (BVM BVS). After graduating, she worked in companion animal practice in the UK for several years, dealing with patients young and old. She found a love of consulting and particularly loved it when a complex concept needed to be explained to an owner- but she could only help one owner at a time. Her rescue terrier, Pixie, can often be found on her lap when she’s writing.
