About this product

Product Information

In this inspiring, uplifting and heart-warming memoir, world-renowned veterinary surgeon Professor Noel Fitzpatrick explores his journey to becoming The Supervet. Growing up on the family farm in Ballyfin, Ireland, Noel's childhood was spent tending to the cattle and sheep, the hay and silage, the tractors and land, his beloved sheepdog Pirate providing solace from the bullies that plagued him at school. It was this bond with Pirate, and a fateful night spent desperately trying to save a newborn lamb, that inspired Noel to enter the world of veterinary science - and set him on the path to becoming The Supervet. Now, in this long-awaited memoir, Noel recounts this often-surprising journey that sees him leaving behind a farm animal practice in rural Ireland to set up Fitzpatrick Referrals in Surrey, one of the most advanced small animal specialist centres in the world. We meet the animals that paved the way, from calving cows and corralling bullocks to talkative parrots and bionic cats and dogs. Noel has listened to the many lessons that the animals in his care have taught him, and especially the times he has shared with his beloved Keira, the scruffy Border Terrier who has been by Noel's side as he's dealt with the unbelievable highs and crushing lows of his extraordinary career. As heart-warming and life-affirming as the TV show with which he made his name, Listening to the Animals is a story of love, hope and compassion, and about rejoicing in the bond between humans and animals that makes us the very best we can be.

    Item as is listed, used but in VGC. Fast, safe & securely packaged shipping & good comms. The book “Design And Analysis Of Reliability Studies” by Graham Dunn, Hardback, published by OUP, C.1989 was delivered on time with tracking. It’s a very good & valuable treatise on the topic. Excellent offer & Seller, highly recommended. Thanks!

    Best series on TV.

    If you love Animals especially Dogs and Cats. The Supervet is and still will be the best programme on TV. I thought Noel Fitzpatrick was far too busy to write his memoirs other than his Vetenary Manuel’s, so was delighted when this book came online for bidding, and lo and behold I was the only bidder. His love of animals is apparent not only on TV but this book. A great read another classic for my library.

    Self-indulgent

    I have great admiration for the work that Professor Fitzpatrick does in his veterinary clinic but, My Word, this book was amazing self-indulgent. There was a great deal of in-depth information about his early life which I found tedious in the extreme and he does seem to have been besotted with his mother.

  • Love this book.

    I already had this book in paperback but wanted a signed copy. It's an amazing book. Funny uplifting and Noel is an amazing person.

  • Keen to follow through to the end.

    Having reached about half way through, I have found Noel's early childhood memories to be very interesting and quite sad a t times. The amazing amount of study and sheer hard work that has been involved in his getting to his present qualification has been a real eye opener! I look forward to the rest of his experiences. I would say that some of the more technical details about the operations have meant that I have skimmed one or two passages. I think perhaps because of watching the programmes I feel that I can fill in those passages. Probably someone with veterinary knowledge would be taking in a lot more of the detail.

  • Noel Fitzpatrick The Supervet Book

    Great read about a great and very compassionate man at the forefront of animal medicine.The book covers his early life right through to becoming the supervet. I highly recommend this book and recommend the TV program The Supervet as well. Both compliment each other.
