'(David Grant's) books are simply wonderful - entertaining, filled with anecdotes and wisdom that only an experienced vet would possess. This is the ideal present for an animal lover - I was absolutely gripped by it... His style is very warm, funny, totally absorbing. Fascinating - you won't be disappointed with this one' CROWN FM BREAKFAST SHOW
'By turns heart-rending and humorous, this is a great read for animal-lovers' IPSWICH EVENING STAR
'This excellent author's latest book sees him looking back to the late 60s as a qualified vet'
Luton Herald & Post
'He recounts episodes both amusing and sad with a light, almost tongue-in-cheek and always entertaining style. With plenty more still to be told, it's worth tackling his two autobiographical volumes in date order before he launches the inevitable third. I look forward to it!'
Nuneaton Evening Telegraph
'Still Practising brings alive the real difference between a rural and an urban vet's life and the exciting life of a young single vet'
All About Dogs
'David Grant provides an intimate and funny account of life as a vet in both urban and rural settings and manages to keep his sense of humour intact throughout'
Newcastle Upon Tyne Evening Chronicle

Dog Training Weekly
'A nice book to read and is just as warm and funny as the last one'
Argos Book Reviews
'Any animal lover will enjoy this book, or any would-be animal owner'
The Magazine
Bestselling author and TV vet David Grant won a legion of new fans with the warm and funny account of his first years as a vet in JUST PRACTISING. In his next book he relives more of the highs and lows of the green country vet with a fair bit still to learn. His boisterous sense of humour can always be depended on to lighten the challenges he encounters, but the regular all night sessions in the pig shed are keeping romance off the agenda. His flatmates, a pint and a roaring fire are all the domestic bliss he can expect at the end of the day. David is then torn from Canterbury and the Kent countryside when he starts at the now famous RSPCA Harmsworth Hospital in London. David battles through the urban jungle and shares with us the blossoming of what will become his two major passions - working with small animals, and the RSPCA. However, the town throws up just as many surprises as the country: a tortoise chewed on by a Labrador, a parrot who thinks it's a Siamese cat and a gerbil sucked up by a vacuum cleaner. The lad-about-town's skirmishes with women continue to dominate his private life with hilarious - though never very permanent - consequences. Many years later David Grant will return and become chief vet at the Harmsworth. The ANIMAL HOSPITAL series has not yet been dreamt of but it will be a landmark in TV and veterinary history - the first time television cameras have been allowed to film the real life goings on of a vets' practice.
