After graduating as a vet from the University of Nottingham in 2016, Dr. Joanna Woodnutt went on to practice companion animal medicine in the Midlands. She quickly developed a love of consulting and helping clients with medical problems such as dermatology, behavior and nutrition - anything that involved helping clients understand their pets better.
Jo started writing about pet health in 2017, realizing that it meant she could help even more pet parents. Since then, she has written for countless online and print publications and is a regular contributor for Edition Dog Magazine. Jo is the director of The Veterinary Content Company, which she founded in 2020. She is also the founder of Petlearnia, a platform that provides pet e-learning courses for pet parents.
Jo now lives in the Channel Islands with her husband Ian and terrier Pixie.
