In this episode, Dr. Lottie chats with Dr. Bolu Eso about the
day-to-day of life in small animal general practice, building
confidence in consults and surgery, setting boundaries to avoid
burnout, and his top tips for dentistry! Bolu also shares his
perspective on diversity & representation in vet med and how
his early experiences shaped who he is as a vet today.

Bolu is a small animal GP vet who also works in TV (including
Pooch Perfect, Fur Babies, and ITV’s Love Your Weekend). He has
recently become a General Practitioner Certified in Small Animal
Dentistry and Oral Surgery and a London Vet Show “30 Under 30”
award recipient! So, he is the PERFECT person to talk to about
being a GP vet.
