Growing up in a home surrounded by pets, he originally trained to become a veterinary surgeon. An allergic dermatitis acquired in his final year of study forced a change of career however, and so led him into the field of writing about pets and their care. He has since become a regular contributor of articles on this subject to a wide range of newspapers and magazines in the UK and abroad, and also participates frequently in radio and television programmes.{{citation needed|date=January 2011}} As of 2010 his books have sold over five million copies,[1] and have been translated into 30 different languages.[2] Alderton's titles have won awards in the US from the Cat Writers' Association of America and the Maxwell Medallion from the Dog Writers’ Association of America, as well as being nominated for the Sir Peter Kent Conservation Book Prize.{{citation needed|date=January 2011}} He has also chaired the National Council for Aviculture, the umbrella organisation for bird-keeping clubs and associations in the UK.[3] Selected bibliography
