Dr. Jason Nicholas (“Dr. J”) has written the 101 Essential Tips book series, providing pet owners with awareness and knowledge that can help them keep their pets happy, healthy and safe. He wants pet owners everywhere to have reliable information, advice, and the tools they need to enjoy the best lives together with their pets.
Dr. J graduated with honors from The Royal Veterinary College in London, England, and completed his Internship at the Animal Medical Center in New York City. He and his family (both two-legged and four) are now lucky enough to call the beautiful Pacific Northwest their home.
