11 Vets You Should Follow on TikTok

The internet is nothing if not a resource for medical advice so it’s unsurprising that TikTok has proven to be a popular and useful avenue for veterinary expertise – providing you choose to watch a video from a qualified vet rather than an unschooled anti-vaxxer.

While online videos should never be a replacement for an IRL vet’s assessment of your pet, the platform is home to an abundance of qualified vets giving helpful tips and guidance.

Below, you will find a rabbit hole of entertaining and educational content creators that’ll give you the courage to be a more confident pet parent.

1. Dr Bolu Eso

@docboj

Dr Bolu Eso is all about the health and well-being of pets and their people. Based in the UK, he describes himself as a “doctor of vet med, contagious happiness, gains enthusiast, professional eater, and traveller.“ He went to vet school in Budapest but posts from all over the world and has done externships in the US, India, and the UK. On his TikTok, you’ll see some amazing content on pet allergies, food toxins for pets, cruciate ligament injuries and more.

2. Dr Hunter Finn

@dr.hunterfinn

Many of you may already know Dr Hunter Finn, considering his popularity across socials. According to his website: “Dr Hunter Finn is a Texas-based Integrative Veterinary Expert helping strengthen the human and animal bond through health and fitness.” Even non-pet parents get a kick out of his informative and musical videos. I mean, who knew learning about your pup ‘scooting’ could be such an entertaining experience?

3. Dr Raven Sinclaire

@ravensinclaire

This page is a combination of Los Angeles-based Dr Raven’s veterinary and acting pursuits, and that just makes it all the better. If you scroll to older posts, you‘ll discover great stories like ‘Kangaroo Attack’ and other content like ‘Vet Word of the Day’. She even has a full video of a dog’s neuter surgery. While TikTok surgeries might not be for everyone, for many of us, it is the content we not-so-secretly love to pop up on our feed.

4. Cat the Vet

@cat_the_vet

Dr Cat is based in the UK and leaves no stone unturned. Common topics include (but are not limited to) everything from predisposed health issues in certain breeds to what to buy your hamster for Christmas. She covers many types of pets, health concerns, and has a knack for telling it like it is.

5. Dr Sarah

@gaydogtor

Now, here is a side of TikTok you may not be familiar with: Queer VetTok. Canadian Dr Sarah describes themselves as “a gay dogtor who shares pet tips & normalises mental health struggles in the Veterinary industry.” Dr Sarah shares everything from funny client stories to nutrition to generally helpful veterinary information mixed in with comical storylines. This TikTok will teach you veterinary facts while also teaching you how not to be ‘that client’.

6. Noel Fitzpatrick

@profnoelfitzpatrick

Whether you call him Supervet or just plain old Noel, Irish expat Dr Noel Fitzpatrick is one of the UK’s most beloved vets thanks to the 19-seasons-and-counting of his TV show The Supervet: Dr Noel Fitzpatrick. And luckily his TikTok account is equally as heartwarming. His content consists of everything from BTS antics from his surgery and home, as well as updates on pets featured on his show – all with educational information about the pet's condition. Sadly there's no video from Noel (yet) addressing the most important (uncomfirmed) fact about him: that he's the subject of Britney Spears’ Toxic (really).

7. Dr Greg Echols

@dogter_echols

If you like dancing and entertaining reenactments, you will love Dogter Echols. Here you will get dramatic snippets of daily life working in veterinary care – he shares the hilarious quandaries of his work in such a compelling way that you may not even realise you’re getting an education, too.

7. Ben the Vet

@ben.the.vet

If you’re a fan of Cat the Vet, you should check out Ben the Vet. He covers similar topics like common genetic issues in certain breeds, pet-parenting tips, and animal fun facts. He’s honest, cares about his line of work, and shares his expertise in an enjoyable yet educational way.

8. Dr Shannon

@doctor_shannon

Doctor Shannon is a small, exotic and zoo animal veterinarian, which, as you can imagine, adds some variety to her stories. She self-describes as a young, sassy, tatted, opinionated Leo veterinarian, and has highly entertaining content with funny stories, useful tips for pet parents, and answers to followers’ questions about preventative care and emergencies. She also touches on women working in medicine in many of her posts and has no issue clapping back at the haters.

9. Andrew Jones

@veterinarysecrets

Are you a fan of natural remedies, but also want to know super-important and life-saving information? Dr Andrew Jones covers tons of common ailments seen in cats and dogs. From ringworm to cherry eye to chocolate toxicity, he will give you all of the information you need, plus suggest natural treatments when appropriate.

10. Dr Adam Christman

@dr.adamchristman52

Dr Christman has a lot of the content we live for: winter coats for our dogs, how to stop a dog’s reverse sneeze, cleaning hacks for pet parents, how to perform the Heimlich manoeuvre on dogs, etc. This page is pure education and we are here for that.

11. Dr Tom (Thomas Hamilton)

@drtom83

This page is another incredibly popular one that you might have already heard of. Dr Tom offers great veterinary tips and information, like sticking a treat to a wall while administering a rabies vaccine. This page also provides prime puppy and kitten content while teaching its viewers how to trim their pet’s nails. I know vets don’t just play with baby animals all day, but I swear he has some of the cutest clients I’ve ever seen.

While this is a great starter list for all of you #vetmed fans out there, this is not at all exhaustive. Veterinarians also have many different experiences and views, so when in doubt, please consult your own veterinarian. These accounts are not meant to replace your personal vet, but are just to add some much-needed entertainment to your life while also making you a more educated pet parent. The views of these vets do not always reflect the views of the author or Kinship, and were chosen for their ability to entertain, engage, and educate their followers.
