The Vet Life

Every episode Blue, Ross and Lavigne diagnose, operate on and treat dogs, cats and a variety of exotic animals. They always tell their clients exactly what the problem is, how they think it happened and how they will treat it. I've learned from watching this show. But, what I especially enjoy is their relationship with each other and their families. In a world filled with so much alienation and dysfunction, the warmth and love between these friends and their families makes my week.

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!

I'm not that into TV nor animal shows but this captured my attention. I was able to watch it with my kids and learn something.

I love this show, it's a blessing to see how these people treat animals and the love and care each of them show for all the fur-babies and other animals. Love this program!!!

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...)
