Ever wondered how vets diagnose pets who can’t tell them what’s wrong? For Dr. Hardie, that’s the thrill of the job. Whether it’s a lethargic cat, a bird refusing to eat, or a snake acting strangely, he thrives on uncovering the answers hidden in every case.
But there’s more to his passion—while many vets primarily treat cats and dogs, Dr. Hardie has a keen interest in exotic pets, especially reptiles and birds. (Yes, snakes hold a special place in his heart—no judgment!).
His ultimate goal? Further accreditation in Unusual Pet Surgery and Medicine, alongside Small Animal Internal Medicine.
One of Dr. Hardie’s most memorable cases? A patient named Lizzie came in struggling with hind-limb lameness. After some pain relief and rest, she was quick to bounce back to her usual self!
A routine case, perhaps—but what truly stood out was Lizzie’s pet parent’s heartfelt gratitude. It was a reminder that even the simplest treatments can mean the world to families who love their pets.
When Dr. Hardie isn’t diagnosing pets or diving into his next big case, you’ll find him competing in Ultimate Frisbee, where his quick reflexes come in handy!
At home, his tiny but mighty Chihuahua, Jelly, keeps him busy with her big personality.
With an inquisitive mind, a drive to keep learning, and a fascination for pets of all shapes and sizes, Dr. Hardie is here to make a difference in the lives of pets and their families—whether your pet barks, chirps or slithers!
