Jim Bolssens, a Belgian vet with special interest in companion animals. I've been living in Sharjah since March 2004 with my wife Liesbeth. I'm proud to say that since July 2005 we have a lovely daughter, Hannelore, and since August 2008 a second girl named Alexia. Both were born here in Dubai. My father is also a vet and since I was a kid I've always had a special interest in helping and curing animals in need. Although tender love and care is half of the work when it comes to sick pets, as a veterinarian I now am qualified to help them even better with a broad medical background.After I graduated from Ghent University (Belgium), I worked with my father, who is also a veterinarian, in his small animal clinic in Antwerp where I gained valuable and excellent experience in treating different domestic pets. Liesbeth, my wife, who is also a veterinarian specializing in horses, was offered a position as a surgeon in Sharjah... we decided to take the challenge and start a new life in the sunny Emirates. Initially I worked in "The Veterinary Hospital" in Dubai where I stayed for almost one year. Then I saw there was a real need for a veterinary clinic in Sharjah and so in May 2005 Europets Hospital opened for business.
