About Nick Trout
I’m from England and work at the Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston, one of the biggest animal hospitals in the world. I would say the best part of my career would be ‘unpredictable’ because what I enjoy about coming to work every day is the certainty of surprises. There might be a Chihuahua or a Great Dane, a Maine Coon Cat or an iguana. There may be the heartbreak of losing a best friend; there may be the elation of a surgical cure and a renewed relationship with a companion. It is all of these things and more. What’s not to love! My first book, Tell Me Where It Hurts, tries to capture the rush and passion of modern veterinary medicine. Love is the Best Medicine focuses more on the pets and their owners, addressing the more vulnerable and emotional aspects of healing sick animals. My latest book, Ever By My Side, gives me an opportunity to relive some of the defining moments in my life when an animal stepped up and inspired me to appreciate a new perspective. Here I attempt to display their subtlety, startling impact, and inspirational lessons, which have played a small but vital role in the person you see wearing the stethascope around his neck.

“Without fail, he always signed off on these letters with love and he always included Whiskey and Bess in the list of individuals sending this love my way.

“Our pets are the kids who never leave home, and that’s absolutely fine by us because these kids don’t ask for the keys to the car, don’t turn up drunk at two in the morning, and don’t complain if you turn their bedroom into a home gym. Their presence in times of upheaval and transition acts as a touchstone, a reminder of normalcy, of comfort, and the certainty of a love that can get you through.”

One Final Bonus – Nick Trout Quote
“It may be a cat, a bird, a ferret, or a guinea pig, but the chances are high that when someone close to you dies, a pet will be there to pick up the slack. Pets devour the loneliness. They give us purpose, responsibility, a reason for getting up in the morning, and a reason to look to the future. They ground us, help us escape the grief, make us laugh, and take full advantage of our weakness by exploiting our furniture, our beds, and our refrigerator. We wouldn’t have it any other way. Pets are our seat belts on the emotional roller coaster of life–they can be trusted, they keep us safe, and they sure do smooth out the ride.”
