Adopt a Pet | Find Your New Best Friend

Doc hustles to a nearby farm in a bid to save a cow in labor struggling to deliver her twins! Daisy the Labrador suffered a painful injury in an accident, but in Doc’s care, she’ll be good as new. It’s another season where heroics are on display every day as this dedicated team answers the call for help.

Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists is the focus of Nat Geo WILD’s new series Animal ER that premiered Saturday, September 10 at 9pm and runs for six weeks. GCVS is often the last stop for pets whose care is beyond the capabilities of their primary care veterinarian. The series will follow along with patients as they are rushed into the hospital through diagnosis and treatment. We turned to Danielle Inman from the GCVS Avian & Exotics department for a behind the scenes look into the creation of the show. The results of that exclusive access will begin airing on Nat Geo WILD’s new Saturday night series, “Vet School,” Sept. 19 at 10 p.m.

They put on their detective hats and investigate the largest organ in an animal’s body—the skin—to get our four-legged friends back to living their best lives. Highlighting the empathy, love and devotion of these dedicated professionals who love animals as much as we do, VETSGIVING is the ultimate viewing buffet to enjoy with the ones you love. And after a filling meal on Thanksgiving evening, settle in for a sneak peek of the new series, POP GOES THE VET WITH DR. JOYA, complete with a special serving of pus, gunk and goo.

Two Cases Show Importance Of A Healthy Mouth

The cable channel is returning its Vetsgiving for a second year, TheWrap has learned exclusively. Sam Dicker, who was a fourth-year student during the filming and is now a small animal rotating intern at Garden State Veterinary Specialists in Tinton Falls, New Jersey, felt the show had more the feel of a documentary. No, the Kardashians are not on campus, but National Geographic WILD spent last school year filming behind the scenes at Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine. Fourth-year students are filmed by the National Geographic WILD camera crew at the College of Veterinary Medicine’s 2015 Hooding Ceremony in May.

The series follows three first-year students from day one on their road to becoming licensed veterinarians, and four fourth-year students who approach the end of their training before embarking on their careers.

Health care is important on both sides of the leash.

Watch full episodes, specials and documentaries with National Geographic TV channel online. Originally from California where he studied a dying artform (hand-drawn animation), Tony has spent most of his adult life in the theme parks of Orlando. When he’s not writing for LP, he’s usually watching and studying something animated or arguing about “the good ole’ days” at the parks.

“They filmed a lot of labs with live animals, and that’s the majority of the show, but we are studying 95 percent of the time,” Cimino said. The Nat Geo producers and crew arrived in Ithaca before school began and stayed through graduation, seamlessly embedding themselves in the students’ lives and rotating between different students in lab and on rotations day to day. The show portrays the amount of hard work it takes to get the degree, and how dedicated we are to make our patients and their owners happy,” he said.

Adorable pets face major problems – from a dog with a fishhook caught in his tongue to acupuncture for a spine injury. Aging elephants, orphaned kangaroos and sick wallabies need these superstar vets’ attention too. Most of us brush our teeth at least twice a day, starting when we first begin to see our teeth come in, to prevent tartar, plaque and bad breath. If you’ve ever wanted to find out what it would look like if you didn’t brush, though, the answer is not far away – just take a peek into your dog or cat’s mouth! Dental health for our pets has come a long way, but many pet owners don’t realize that their pet’s teeth and gums are at risk for the same types of dental problems that we suffer from as humans…as well as some unexpected problems that are exclusive to dogs and cats.

Dermatologist Dr. Joya Griffin sees it all—from impacted earwax to oozing cysts to massive hair loss, there’s no case too mysterious or bizarre for this Kentucky-based doctor as she investigates the largest organ in an animal’s body—the skin. A first look of the series will air Thursday, Nov. 25, at 11/10c and Saturday, Nov. 27, at 10/9c, in advance of its series premiere in spring 2022. One of the newest series on Nat Geo WILD, Pop Goes the Vet with Dr. Joyafollows the current trend of watching dermatopic procedures, but this time on our four-legged friends. The series follows leading veterinary dermatologist Dr. Joya at her Kentucky-based animal dermatology clinic, where she deals with everything from impacted earwax to oozing cysts. The real thrill of the show is where she puts on her detective hat and investigates cases both bizarre and mysterious. In this season of “The Incredible Dr. Pol,” it’s piggies, ponies and puppies; heifers, horses and hounds; goats, geckos and geese; whether it’s a dose of TLC, urgent critical care or after-hours emergencies, Doc Pol and his team are on call … all day, every day.

The series, with its medical nature, can be pretty graphic at times so it definitely isn’t for the faint of heart. That said, Dr. Joya and her team are professionals and the show does a great job showing the procedures. While nothing is over the top and graphic for the sake of being graphic, you do see some of the more off-putting parts of the job. If you’re a dog lover, you’ll also see some canines in some pretty bad shape and that can be upsetting as well. Another case shows something far more simple, a labradoodle that has “wooly worms” in his ears, which we learn is an abundance of hair in the ear canal that must be pulled out. Nowhere near as life threatening as the case of Buttercup, this one is just one of those cases where you watch and you wonder “could that be my dog?

This is because many pets experience age-related vision changes as they get older… just like people. In many cases these age-related vision changes occur slowly over time, allowing for acclimation to a reduction in visual capacity if your pet is kept in a familiar environment. For other pets, the vision change can happen acutely causing observable disorientation, behavioral changes, and possibly ocular discomfort in certain conditions. Overall, the students found the episodes accurately captured veterinary college, with one major exception. Episode titles include “Day One,” “Lethal Ingestion” and “Midterm Madness,” and feature such segments as surgery on a bulldog with life-threatening congestive heart failure, and a challenging checkup with a clamorous miniature donkey named Leslie.

PEOPLE has a first look at the upcoming landmark episode, which Dr. Pol promises will include plenty of “reminiscing” about his favorite show moments from the past decade and the usual veterinary business too. It turns out countless animal lovers were interested in the vet’s work and still are today. Later, Dr. K examines a blue and gold macaw with an eye problem before visiting a local elementary school.

We laugh, we cry, and we raise a glass to Doc as he celebrates 50 years of veterinary service to animals small and large in central Michigan. Making house calls in the far reaches of the Great North is a daunting task in the least, considering hundreds of miles may separate the houses. That challenge doesn’t stop Dr. Michelle Oakley from performing her many duties as a veterinarian in one of the most rugged environments on Earth. In addition to running an animal clinic in Haines, Alaska, she makes house calls, sometimes driving for long stretches through desolate wilderness to check on a patient.

Millie, a bulldog with congestive heart failure, is prepped for surgery in an episode of Nat Geo WILD’s “Vet School.” “It makes me very happy when people understand more about animals and how to take care of them better,” he added. Twins bring in their impacted tortoise, a beloved fish has swimming trouble, and Dr. T’s rabbit is sick.

Ben and Erin Schroeder put thousands upon thousands of miles on their truck as they crisscross America’s Heartland, employing their expertise to treat all creatures great and small. From furry pets at the clinic to herds of cattle by the hundreds, few vets have the skill and heart to take on the unique challenges that come their way every day. The Schroeders’s dedication to their hometown, and the animals that are a part of it, is what makes them invaluable members of their local community. This senior is anything but retiring as he takes an old-school, no-nonsense approach to veterinary medicine.

The staff give bittersweet farewell to a beloved colleague as Dr. T says goodbye. A macaw with a mysterious mass has Dr. K going beyond the call of duty; and Dr. T gets a visit from a tiny tortoise who lost a fight with a pit bull puppy.

THE INCREDIBLE DR. POL follows Dr. Pol as he travels across rural Michigan to care for every family pet and head of livestock in need of expertise and kindness. Treating numerous patients, including horses, pigs, cows, sheep, alpacas, goats, cats, dogs and even an occasional reindeer, Dr. Pol is not your average vet. The Schroeders’ dedication to their hometown, and the animals that are a part of it, is what makes them invaluable members of their local community. Leading veterinary dermatologist Dr. Joya and her protégé Dr. Jeff see it all in their Kentucky-based animal dermatology clinic. From impacted earwax to oozing cysts to massive hair loss, there’s no case too mysterious or bizarre.

You can watch “Called To The Wild” on the National Geographic channel or stream it through certain providers on the National Geographic website. They’re among the human-dog teams featured in new National Geographic survival show “Called to the Wild.” Plus, Nat Geo Wild will preview its newest vet series, “Pop Goes the Vet With Dr. Joya.” Sounds good, right? Nat Geo Wild has a built-in week of stunt programming to be thankful for this November.

Animal lovers can learn more about caring for their pets and the history of Pol Veterinary Services by tuning into the 200th episode of The Incredible Dr. Pol on July 16 at 9 p.m./8 p.m. The 200th episode will be preceded by a two-hour special looking back at 20 seasons of The Incredible Dr. Pol. Nat Geo WILD is on to something, as its most popular shows, including the No. 1 series “The Incredible Dr. Pol,” feature veterinarians.

Nat Geo Wild prides themselves on showcasing the natural world and the creatures who inhabit it. Pop Goes the Vet with Dr. Joya, whileskewing more scientific than natural, still keeps up with this mission. It is both educational and entertaining and you feel attached to the animals that Dr. Joya and her team are caring for. And, if you’re anything like me, you’ll suddenly want to run to your local animal shelter and find animals to care for. For a show like “Called To The Wild” to trek into the Maine wilderness is an enormous undertaking, with Platte touting Maine’s unique environment – both natural and film production – as perfect for the series’ needs.

Hi, my name is Lowell and I have always been interested in animals. I was born with a deep fascination for them that has only grown stronger as I’ve gotten older. This interest has led me to become a zookeeper. It’s the best job in the world because it allows me to work with animals every day and learn more about them.
