Ross Tiffin has enjoyed the companionship of pet dogs for more than 50 years and is passionate about the cause of responsible pet ownership. He has worked in the animal health industry for most of his working life and has gained a rare insight into the human-animal bond that explains so much of our relationship with our dogs. Working with Assistance Dog and other charities has allowed him to build up a wide knowledge of health and welfare issues which informs his writing. Ross has written widely in the vet and pet press and has addressed audiences all over the world about health and welfare issues in our pets. He and his wife share their home with two spaniels and what he describes as the world’s most independent cat.
