Parkside Veterinary Clinic

I want to be a Vet

By: Elizabeth Woolsey

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What Is It Really Like to Work at a Veterinary Clinic? Spoiler Alert: It Is Not All Puppies and Kittens.

Four high school students are about to find out.

When Maya, Jake, Sofia and Connor land volunteer positions at Parkside Veterinary Clinic, they think they know what to expect. They have seen the videos. They have done the research. They are ready.

They are not ready.

From emergency surgeries that cannot wait to animals that will not cooperate to clients who are terrified and heartbroken and desperate, the reality of veterinary medicine is nothing like anything they imagined. And neither are the lessons it teaches them about themselves.

Who will prove they have what it takes? Who will discover that their true calling is something completely different? And who will earn the coveted title of Veterinary Assistant at Parkside?

Written by a retired equine veterinarian with over 35 years of experience in the United States and Australia, Parkside Veterinary Clinic brings the authentic sights sounds and emotional weight of real veterinary medicine to young adult fiction for the very first time.

Perfect for teens who love animals, dream of a career in veterinary medicine or simply want a story that is honest funny and impossible to put down.

This is the book every future vet has been waiting for.
