‘Unleashed is filled with empathy, depth and a charming touch of humour at the perfect  moments.’ – SYLVESTER CHAUKE

‘An effortlessly comedic and deeply moving tale of a vet finding her feet and purpose. Venniker is that rare guide who’s honest, witty and relatable.’ – ALASTAIR MCALPINE

‘Fascinating, funny and poetically heartbreaking. Who knew the secret life of a vet would be a page-turner?’ – DION CHANG

‘Unleashed is a book that celebrates life.’ – MIKE NICOL

Unleashed is the hilarious, intensely honest memoir of Caitlin Venniker’s journey from  Onderstepoort, the only veterinary training institution in South Africa, into the heart of  private practice, with a few stops in the United Kingdom and Middle East along the way.

It’s a story of growing up, juggling owners with high expectations and animals with big  opinions, bluffing confidence, quirky colleagues, cows with anger issues and midnight  emergencies. It’s about navigating the challenges of dating, using coffee as a crutch,  finding humour in dark moments, and the immense joy and grief that come with loving  animals.
