About the Author

Dr. Cliff Redford, owner of Wellington Veterinary Hospita l and the friendly veterinarian who answers burning pet questions on Canada’s Global News, is also an intrepid traveller, a documentary producer, podcaster, marathoner, surfer, loving father and husband, and now an author.

But he is best-known as The Worldwide Vet, a champion to animals the world over.

In this charming memoir, Dr. Cliff opens up about his life and travels as a veterinarian without borders, sharing insights from his surprising, funny, sometimes heart-wrenching, and often dangerous work. From well-fed Athens street cats, to a monkey in India in a dangerous situation, a cyclopean crocodile in Jamaica named one-eyed Jack, and people’s beloved pets around the globe — Dr. Cliff helps them all, with his vast veterinary knowledge, his jovial wit, and his big heart.

“Far and Wild tells the story of a wee but mighty scrapper of a veterinarian doing his best to protect animals around the world. A wonderful tale of adventure, sadness, joy, and redemption.”

— Drew McIntyre, WWE Champion, animal lover, and author of A Chosen Destiny

“Dr. Cliff’s adventures and volunteerism in the name of animal welfare and safety reads like an adventure novel — highly compelling with a richness that leaves you smiling knowing it’s a true story, saving real lives! Amazing!”

— Jon Montgomery, Olympic Champion and award-winning television host of The Amazing Race Canada
