About me

I’m Will - a veterinary surgeon turned freelance marketing consultant, with over 20 years of experience in the animal health industry. I started my clinical career in companion animal practice, working across general, referral, and teaching settings which has provided me with solid insight into the needs of veterinary professionals and pet owners. Since then, I have worked in a variety of technical, marketing, and management roles within several animal health companies from small start-ups to large multi-national corporations.

Today, I help brands in the animal health space communicate with clarity, credibility, and a touch of creative flair.

Why the name Little Red Dog?  Every time I thought of a good idea either the name was taken, or the associated website URL was crazy expensive, or both! Unfortunately, around that time we lost our beloved cockapoo Chester unexpectedly at the age of only seven. He was full of cheeky charm, fiercely intelligent and adored by all that met him- Chester is very much missed so it became a no brainer to name the business after him.

Little Red Dog is my way of honouring Chester’s spirit: curious, loyal, and full of character. It’s also a reflection of how I work - blending clinical insight with strategic thinking and always aiming to bring warmth and authenticity to the brands I support.

Here he is on his 7th birthday, with his little brother Albie - it seems we have a thing for little red dogs!
