Rory knew he wanted to be a vet from the age of four. It was the advent of his first dog Lulu to the family which was the seminal event in Rory’s young life. He describes them as kindred sprits. It was after Lulu’s first visit to her Vet Dr Benson, that Rory proudly pronounced to his family that he too would become a vet. By the age of 22, having studied at the Royal Veterinary College he joined the 24-hour veterinary hospital, then a London practice called The Neighbourhood Vet in East Dulwich, London. In 2017 Rory landed a leading role on The Pets Factor for ‘CBBC’. He also has guests spots on Blue Peter, BBC Breakfast, Lorraine, and the Saturday Morning Mash Up. He published his brilliant book “The Secret Life of a Vet” In 2020.
