Jean Hofve

II'm a veterinarian, author, and lifelong student of biology who believes the most interesting discoveries often begin with a simple question: Does this explanation really make sense?

For more than 30 years I've explored feline nutrition, holistic medicine, and comparative physiology. I'm the co-author of The Complete Guide to Holistic Cat Care, Paleo Dog, and What Cats Should Eat. These days I'm especially interested in evolutionary biology, the microbiome, and the unexpected connections that emerge when we look at familiar science from a different angle.

Now retired from clinical practice, I continue to write, research, and advocate for the health and happiness of pets while living a nomadic life. Through my website Little Big Cat, I translate emerging science into practical, evidence-based information for pet caregivers, health professionals, veterinary colleagues, and anyone who enjoys following the evidence wherever it leads.
