Mark Evans is an English veterinary surgeon turned television presenter.
Educated at Warwick School, Evans failed his A Levels the first time due to completing restoration work on a Triumph Herald 13/60 convertible. He graduated from the Royal Veterinary College at the University of London, where he won the silver medal for his surgical skills, and also met his wife Sarah. The couple have two sons, and live in Guildford, Surrey.
Evans developed his career in private veterinary practise, mainly with dogs, cows and horses at Yew Tree practise in the Surrey Hills. He has written 12 books on animal care and welfare. He was the RSPCA's chief veterinary advisor between 2007 and 2010, causing some controversy in August 2008 after branding show dogs and dog shows as a "parade of mutants", resulting in the RSPCA withdrawing its support that year to the annual Crufts dog show.
Evan's television career started in 1999 when he complained about an item on TV-am that made fun of fat pets, and was invited as a guest on the show giving advice to the owner of an obese cat.
In 1994, Evans was offered a partnership in a large veterinary practise, or to help develop a new animal-rescue based television series with Endemol. Concluding that he could save more animals in three minutes on television than in a life of service as a vet, he developed the format for Pet Rescue on Channel 4, becoming both presenter and an associate producer.
