Veterinarian Editor (BVSc MRCVS)

Dr. Karyn Kanowski

Graduated from The University of Queensland, Australia

13+ years of veterinary experience

About

Karyn comes from Queensland, Australia, but has lived in the UK for the past 10 years. She is passionate about using evidence, experience, and owner collaboration to provide the best solutions for pets, and believes in making reliable information about animal health accessible to all. She shares her home with 5 cats, 4 dogs and 1 husband, and when she is not practising as a veterinary surgeon, she spends her time writing, gardening, and cleaning up pet hair!

Education

In 2010, Karyn graduated from The University of Queensland School of Veterinary Science and also holds a Bachelor’s degree in Zoology.

Experience

Dr. Kanowski has worked in small animal practice, both in Australia and the UK, and she will be very happy if she never has to see another post-Brexit Animal Export Certificate again! Karyn has special interests in acupuncture and canine behavior and loves challenging surgical cases.
