Dr. Nick Trout is a professional veterinarian who was born in England and now works at the Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston, one of the largest animal hospitals in the world. Trout describes his career as "unpredictable," as he is constantly faced with surprises and challenges each day. His patients range from small Chihuahuas to large Great Danes, as well as cats, iguanas, and various other animals. Trout's work involves both the joy of curing sick animals and the sadness of saying goodbye to beloved pets.
In his first book, "Tell Me Where It Hurts," Trout aimed to capture the passion and intensity of modern veterinary medicine. In his second novel, "Love is the Best Medicine," he focused more on the pets and their owners, seeking to expose the emotional and vulnerable aspects of healing sick animals. In his latest book, "Ever By My Side," Trout turns the lens inward and reflects on the animals he has considered his own pets. He shares defining moments in his life when animals played a vital role in shaping his perspective. Trout is a Diplomate of the American and European Colleges of Veterinary Surgeons and is a staff surgeon at the Angell Animal Medical Center. He is also a contributing columnist for The Bark magazine and lives in Massachusetts with his wife and their adopted labradoodle.
