The path so far
Three chapters
Clinic and academia, in Paris
I spent seven years at the veterinary school of Alfort, where I practised, taught and did research in small animal reproduction. Emergency reproduction consultations were part of the job, difficult births included.
Fourteen years in industry
I then worked in scientific communication and veterinary education, lecturing to veterinarians and to dog and cat breeders around the world.
Independent since 2025
I now work for myself, from Ontario, Canada. I write, I lecture, and I advise veterinarians and companies. I have been blogging since 2010, and this site is where all of it comes together.
What you will find here
Everything on this site is educational. It does not replace the veterinarian who knows your animals, and I do not give advice on individual cases to breeders or owners.
