About Matt
Matt works as a full time mixed practice vet in Yorkshire in the North of England and has done so for over 10 years. He graduated from the University of Glasgow School of Veterinary Medicine in 2014.
Matt has a passion for large animals and the exotic and has recently completed a certificate in exotic animal medicine.
Matt first appeared along with his colleagues on the popular television series the Yorkshire Vet in 2020 and has since appeared on Channel 5’s ‘on the farm’ series featuring the team at cannon hall farm.
Matt’s first book ‘my life as a yorkshire vet’ was released on October 11th 2024 and details his life as a modern day vet, encompassing all the highs and lows of the veterinary profession, working through covid and continually re-discovering his passion in an ever changing environment.
Book Title
‘A rollercoaster ride of emotion, from the hilarious to the incredibly sad, Matt embraces it all with his unswerving dedication and love for his work. Whoever reads this book will undoubtedly endorse this view’
Peter Wright

Cracking weekend, on call, but I did get chance to nip to the @honley_show and briefly see these incredible Aldabra giant tortoises again! I didn’t get chance to see them properly as by the time I’d got back from a cow caesarean everyone was packing up! (Confession..this is my fave snap of them…but from the previous show! Anastasia at the time wasn’t too sure of them!) 🐢🐢🐢

Challenge time again! So this year me and Joe are going to run the 15K tough mudder challenge in Skipton on Saturday the 25th July. We’re doing it to help the RSPCA Halifax and Huddersfield branch raise funds for their new facility so they can help even more animals!
It’s a big challenge as I haven’t been ‘fit’ for a long time, (ahem, dad bod..) so I’ve got a solid 10 week training schedule ahead of me!
Here’s the link to the donations page, anything, no matter how small is greatly appreciated! We’ll keep you updated!
