I am currently watching the series and took a look at some of the reviews. There have been criticisms of Dr. Pol's methods by some vets and others. What they are not taking into account, in some cases and which many viewers may not know or ever experienced is that a rural practice where the primary clients are farmers and residents on a very thin financial edge, is very different than a city practice where clients have funds to treat pets with expensive equipment and who have the time, patience and sometimes staff to help with the followup care. City vets are careful to not offend the humans who pay the vet bills. At a city vet my dogs go into a clinic where they are coddled by the staff, attended to with utmost care and the fees are in the high hundreds if not thousands. When I was house sitting in very rural area of Hawaii and the owner's 2 dogs got into figh that resulted in lacerated ears, the drive to the vet was 45 minutes. The vet came outside into the parking lot, the dogs never even went into the clinic (vet took a few minutes in between surgeries to attend to the combatants) I held each dogs, vet said no use to stitch them up, gave us antibiotics and off we went like. In a city clinic they would have been stitched, maybe even held overnight with lots of "oh, poor boy" vs. Dr. Pol who has a "stupid dogs... this didn't have to happen" attitude. He does not have time to coddle the pets/ livestock or the owner but he gets the job done. Rural and city are very different. In the show you see Dr. Pol, using very practical and expedient methods that save his clients money and help the animals. I have recommended this show to my friend who recently become a farmer with no prior experience so that person can learn what can befall his livestock. I find it fascinating and informative. Is it top of the line veterinary care? Not always - but it is practical rural vet care.
Dr. Pol, DVM, has a practice in rural Michigan, and this reality show follows him as he makes his rounds to his various farm patients, as well as the office where people bring their domestic animals. It has an old fashioned feel to it. The doc knows his patients and their owners, and you get to see him deal with birth, injuries, death, and the hard decision to put an animal down. He's not a man given with the gift of much gab, but he has a distinct likability about him. He's a man who is 75 as I am writing this, and when I first watched the show I was guessing he was in his mid to late 50s. That's what comes from doing what you love - it keeps you young at heart. Also part of the practice is his son Charles, who, as he admits, is not even a veterinary technician, just an assistant, but seems to be loving what he does and being around his dad. The office is organized and maintained by Dr. Pol's wife of 50 years, and then there is "Dr. Brenda", Brenda Grettenburger, and the junior vet on the team, Dr. Emily Thomas.
There are a wide variety of situations, animals, and dilemmas, so I am yet to get bored. I will tell you that there does seem to be a good deal of professional jealousy about Dr. Pol. If you look around the internet you'll see fellow vets talk about how uncaring the staff is and unsanitary the procedures are. Folks, it is called editing. You don't see every little thing that is done. Plus you don't wind up with 20,000 patients by being a bad vet. Dr. Pol was disciplined by a Michigan state board a few years back based on the complaint of a viewer of this show who was a retired veterinarian living in Tennessee! However, that decision was reversed and even the owners of the animal in the case in question said that they were happy with the outcome.
I'd recommend you watch the show. Just don't mention it to your vet or they are likely to start snorting, stomp out of the examining room, and fire you and your pet from their practice. Just my two cents.

This is an updated review on 11/15/21. Why do they keep remixing episodes and calling them "new?" They are old recycled parts of episodes. Will there ever be any new episodes? Please stop trying to fool people with the "new" nonsense. (My old review is below)
I like the show, but would prefer not to see Charles' stories about something he "has always been interested in," and then never hear or see it again. It is just too contrived, like they have to come up with some side story every episode about him. I would rather spend that time with the animals. Other than that, it is decent reality television, much better than other reality show.
This is a great show! Obviously Dr Pol is amazing, but so is the entire staff!!! It's apparent that the community He and his staff serves, depends on Dr Pol and his highly skilled veterinary staff to ensure the long term health and wellness of their animals no matter how big or how small those animals might be! This is a great show! Sooo good for binge watching!! Highly recommended for anyone to enjoy!
