Does your pet need you to speak up for them?
Your vet has a few minutes. Your pet has a lifetime. Here's how to make every visit count.
A 37-year experienced veterinarian and hospital owner reveals what pet owners need to know — but rarely get told — before, during and after every vet visit.
I have been committed to helping the animals - and their humans - for 37 years (and counting)
And - I have been you on occasions - the pet owner who wants to help but just isnt sure how. Or ... even if you can.
Desperately wanting to helping my pets live comfortably, yet sometimes forced to watch them as they ran out of time whilst I searched for a path. This book comes from my vet's head and my pet owner's heart
Ian Hainsworth BSc BVMS
37 years as a veterinarian — 28 of them owning a hospital. Experienced in in acupuncture and regenerative medicine.
He's watched what happens when pet owners speak up confidently in a consultation. And what happens when they don't.
This book is the result of four decades watching both play out.
What pet owners are saying
"Our pets rely on us to speak up for them. Using the information and tools provided gives me confidence on how to approach my vet teams for simple as well as more complex issues." Neenie
"I came away with practical knowledge and how to best advocate effectively for my dog. I'd recommend this course to anyone who wants to become a more confident and informed voice for their animal."
Bec B
"Dr Hainsworth has developed this course out of a true love of his work and compassion for the animals he treats. Absolutely worth the time and effort." Shelly G
Something isn't adding up, is it?
You've done everything you're supposed to do.
You've booked the appointments. You've described the symptoms. You've answered the questions. You've followed the advice.
And yet here you are — still worried, still uncertain, still wondering if your pet is getting everything they really need.
Honest answer? Probably not.
That feeling you have? That's information.
It's telling you there's a gap somewhere between what you're observing at home and what's actually happening in that consulting room.
Not because the vet doesn't care. Not because you're doing anything wrong. You're doing everything right that you know how to do.
Because nobody ever showed you how to close that gap.
The information you carry as a pet owner is the single most valuable diagnostic tool in that room. Not the blood tests. Not the equipment. Those matter — but their value is compounded by your information
The observations you've made over months of living with this animal. The subtle changes only you would notice. The thing you almost didn't mention because you weren't sure it was relevant.
That information changes outcomes.
And most of it never makes it into the room — because nobody ever showed you how to bring it.
This book shows you how.
This is not a book about Veterinary Medicine - or Vets.
It's a book about you — and the role you were always intended to play but nobody ever explained.
You'll learn how the animal healthcare system actually works. Why it's built the way it is.
And exactly where you fit inside it — because that's where the outcomes you want actually happen (or don't)
In 12 chapters you'll learn how to observe what matters, communicate it clearly, and advocate for your pet without conflict, confusion or leaving the clinic feeling like you failed them.
Real pet owner stories. Real patients. Real outcomes that changed because an owner took a different action.
By the end of the book you'll know what to say, when to say it, and why it works.
Your pet can't speak for themselves.
You can. And now you'll know exactly what to say.
Speak for Your Pet gives you the framework, the language, and the confidence to show up differently at every vet appointment — from this one forward.
