An evening with one of the stars of Channel 5’s hit show The Yorkshire Vet. In his funny, engaging and honest memoir, Matt Jackson-Smith reveals his journey so far – from watching The Yorkshire Vet with his gran to becoming one of the TV show’s most popular animal experts.
A celebration of his life and career so far, My Life as a Yorkshire Vet is packed with amusing anecdotes and heartwarming tales, from dealing with exotic wildcats and crocs to dramatic emergency Caesarean sections on dairy cows, and from open-shell operations on tortoises to looking after a care home’s beloved budgie.
Matt Jackson-Smith trained as a vet at the University of Glasgow, the same place where the world’s most famous vet Alf Wight (James Herriot) trained. He now works at Donaldson’s Vets in Huddersfield as a mixed vet, treating farm and small animals, and in 2020 he joined Channel 5’s The Yorkshire Vet. Matt also features in The Yorkshire Vet: At Home With The Greens and Channel 5’s Springtime and Winter on the Farm. He lives in West Yorkshire with his wife and baby daughter.
