Geeking out on vet shows

I was really into Elephant Zone for a while. It’s a YouTube show about elephants in the wild receiving vet care.

I also love Critter Fixers. Dr. Hodges is so cool!

Now I’m watching Rescue Vet - Ukraine. A vet from the UK goes in to the war zone to treat animals. It’s heart breaking and also good to know someone is helping innocent animals.

What are your faves?

I love Critter Fixers!
And The Vet Life . I don’t think they’re filming anymore but the episodes are still on and they’re great.

I like Tugay İnanoğlu’s Youtube channel. Almost always a happy outcome which I’ve come to rely on lately.

A lot have stopped filming (no thanks to Warner Bros for cutting funding and closing down Animal Planet), but I am hooked on Yorkshire Vets right now on Prime. Based on where James Herriot wrote about. Beautiful countryside, and the vets are not afraid to show surgeries and removing testicles up close LOL!

This is also available on Freevee if you don’t want to pay for Prime.

I also really like Bondi Vet from Australia…all the vets are so good looking tho. How did they do that?

Yeah, I do think they picked them for the show. Seriously stunning…and twin vets too!

I like all the above and Heartland Vets. I really admire some of these rural vets that take all species. That has to be tough.

My one problem with Heartland Vets is their personal horses are obese. And they had a laminitis horse go back on pasture after severe laminitis.

Love the Yorkshire vet. Peter is a hoot.
Also love the Bondi Vet. I am sucker for an Aussie accent. Dr Chris. Swoons.

Also cows, not horses, but the Hoof GP is interesting. Fascinating how much hoof they can trim away.

Any of the Secrets of the Zoo series are amazing! I avoid Dr. Pol at all costs.

Yes on Secrets of the Zoo, American or British.

Am very glad they finally cancelled Dr. Pol. He got some real vets riled up with some of his bad treatments.

And don’t forget Dr. Jeff - he really called out those pricey vets.

I cannot stand Dr Pol. I despise the way he treats the animals

I also can’t stand Dr. Pol. He seems like a perfectly nice human being with a nice family but to not have updated his CE in so very many years as to be practicing like he’s in the 1950’s still is so negligent, and then to glorify it on tv no less. I understand that he’s in a lower class spending area but still. The foundered Belgian mare that had just had a foal was the first thing I saw of him and it completely enraged me - he trimmed her short and left her laying on the ground. No foam, nothing. Just, “She’ll be fine.”
