Dr Janet Littlewood MA PhD BVSc (Hons) DVR DVD MRCVS RCVS
Recognised Specialist in Veterinary Dermatology
Janet graduated with Honours from the University of Bristol, longer ago than she
cares to remember! As a new graduate she spent a year as Intern at the University of
Pennsylvania, she spent some time in general practice before being appointed
Assistant Physician at the University of Cambridge. After this training in small
animal medicine, she studied for her PhD in aspects of comparative haemostasis, but
then returned to clinical medicine and to focus on dermatology. She established the
Dermatology Unit at the Animal Health Trust, Newmarket, where she developed her
interest in equine dermatology, in addition to the small animal clinical work, training
residents and supervising a research student working on canine atopy. She holds the
RCVS Diploma and has Recognised Specialist status in Veterinary Dermatology and
has been examiner for both Certificate and Diploma examinations. She has written
chapters for and edited a number of textbooks as well as contributing to peer
reviewed journals. She is involved in postgraduate continuing education and has
spoken at many national and international conferences and is renowned for her
enthusiasm for her subject. Since 2001 Janet has been working in private referral
practice in East Anglia, offering a service for companion animals, including horses.
As well as running her business, Janet is mum to two sons, is overseeing major house
renovations, and still tries to find time to sing with the Cambridge Philharmonic
