Dr. Andrew Jones, DVM, grew up on a farm in rural British Columbia, Canada. The humorous, pastoral stories of James Herriot, which paint the picture of a dedicated veterinarian's fulfilling life, inspired Jones to make this world his own reality.

Dr. Jones earned a doctor of veterinary medicine degree from the University of Saskatchewan and treated thousands of animals over the course of seventeen years. He is the former owner of Nelson Animal Hospital in Nelson, BC.

With a focus on nontraditional pet remedies, Dr. Jones has written books and articles on home pet health care and developed a home study course for dog and cat owners. He has also formulated a line of premium nutritional supplements for dogs and cats.

His pets Lewis, Jesse, Cleo, and Gussie are members of his family, and he has always treated his clients' and readers' animals with the same care and philosophy.
