Henk Offereins, MVSc, DVM, Veterinary surgeon

DVM University of Utrecht, The Netherlands, Qualified Equine Practitioner Royal Dutch Veterinarian Association.
Henk was practically born and raised in a veterinary clinic. He learned the profession 'at his mother's knee'. Henk tells us about the family tradition: "My grandfather was a vet since 1918 and my father since 1956. I graduated in 2000 and worked as a vet in Maastricht (NL). I was always interested in animals. Even in my spare time I like to spend time with animals. We have cats, dogs and horses at home. I also enjoy being the vet at (sport) events. It provides me with a lot of experience, also in more specialised fields such as sport medicine and high performance of horses and greyhounds."
