The Vet Life

These guys are great out if all the animals shows I watch I love this one best hate when it goes off and can't wait for it to come back with another season

If you are complaining about not actually hearing the price of a procedure being discussed you should think of 2 things. First off I can guarantee you no pet owner that is struggling financially would just say "yep, take him and I'll risk the thousands of dollars". They discuss it and it's edited out because of time constraints and there is a lot more interesting things to discuss/witness than that. Also I can't afford a big surgery on my baby boy and I wouldn't want my financial constraints aired on national/international television. Also I am sure the people who are on the show and have agreed to have their families and pets filmed get a discount that they don't want to make public and also may vary from procedure to procedure. To the "Vet Tech" if you have seen all the things you pointed out you should have also seen that Dr. Lavigne explains the difference in when they wear the full sterile PPE and when they don't go in the surgical suite. Also you should think that the reason the Vet Techs are asking questions you feel they should know the answer to is most likely so the doctor can have a "reason" to be talking about what they are doing and why.

You people need to think about these things before you start being rude on a public forum. Imagine if your coworkers were to do that to you on your social media platform that all your customers would see....

I recently stumbled upon clips of this show on Animal Planet's youtube channel and just fell in love. The stories about the animals are either touching or lighthearted most of the time. I immediately binged the rest of the show within the next week.

I did notice that a lot of people were complaining about the show being too scripted, focusing too much on the vet's rather than on the animal themselves. Admittedly there is a lot on the vet's and their families in this show, but i think having this sub-plot is the whole point. I personally think the personalities are really enjoyable, and it's nice to kind of see their family life. Sometimes it feels scripted, but I'm not really expecting jaw-dropping writing for a show like this. The combination of the animal's stories and being able to actually see these vets outside of work is what keeps me coming back.

If you wanted a fully educational show that fully focuses on the animals with in depth analysis of their condition (including receptionists talking about how much money each procedure is going to cost), then this probably isn't the show for you. I'm sure there are plenty of other shows on animal planet that can provide that for you, but I think having a more light-hearted show like this is nice! (And I really don't care to see patients paying their bills for their procedures...)

Finally a show that mixes family and work life equally. A show that shows the Vets going out into the community and provide their services for free or at a discount. Keep up the good work Dr.Blue, Dr.Ross and Dr.Lavigne. I had stopped watching Animal Planet because of the many bad programs they have. Like, My Cat From Hell, Tanked and Finding Bigfoot to name a few. But because of The Vet Life I'll give them another chance.

I watch most of the vet shows and this is by far the best of them all! Keep up the great work of helping animals and keeping us very entertained!
