Dr. Stevce Ilievski joined Petpedia.co as our resident expert with 25 years of experience working as a veterinarian and a pet shop owner. He began his journey as a student at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Zagreb, Croatia, becoming a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. After leaving university, he began working as a veterinarian, taking care of not only domestic but farm animals as well. As his love for his job grew, he finally decided to start a personal business, opening a veterinary supplies shop, which carried products from pet/animal care and medicine to food and toys.
Then a couple of years back, after a casual read about farm animals on the internet (yea, he does that), he realized that many of the articles are either false or misleading. Therefore, he decided to make it his personal goal to offer only verified and up-to-date information to all pet parents. Thus, here we are. We welcomed him to our team as our resident expert who goes through all of our content and either verifies it or makes us wipe it off the face of the earth.
