I absolutely love this show. My late husband was a vet and practiced here in British Columbia, so the show brings back happy memories. Julian and Peter are Superb vets and they have an amazing support team. Congrats on a great show. I came to Canada in 1966 from the UK so the show is also a nostalgia trip.

My Mum and I found this show on our recent visit to the UK. I grew up with All Creatures Great and Small - both the books and the TV series on our public television station. As a teenager I was in Yorkshire and able to meet the real Siegfried (James 'Herriot' White was out of town) and then later as an adult I visited the veterinary museum at the original Skeldale House.
This reality TV show is fantastic! I hope that it is picked up in the US by Animal Planet or our PBS station. I love that Christopher Timothy is the narrator. For now I can enjoy it by streaming online.

If all reality TV was like this I wouldn't be so allergic to it. Rather than looking for (even stoking) conflict, it celebrates warm and engaging people, both the vets and their clients. Instead of scripting scenes to try (and normally fail) to make them more dramatic/funny/interesting, it lets these warm and engaging people live their real life dramas, and in the process lets you see how genuinely funny and interesting people can be when just benig themselves. And then of course there is the glorious scenery, and the animals which are the supposed reason for the programme. I say supposed because it is really about the people first and foremost; in the Greens, a supremely cuddlable old couple, the show really has struck gold. The vets tend to deal with clients more like friends, and I never got the impression as in some vet shows that they are preening for the camera. My only worry is that the takeover of the Skeldale practice by conglomerate Medivet, saying they will no longer treat large animals, might kill off the show.

Brilliant show, love watching but, can I suggest one of the opening shots of a horse being castrated to be removed as it's was the worst equine castration I've seen in many years of working with horses and to be honest I wouldn't entertain using that vet to castrate one of my horses..
Thornbury vets have been helping me look after my dog scooby for years but unfortunately tday I had to take scoobs for a vet to see him but unfortunately hed got to his final hours of his life which obviously has totally devastated me but im very pleased to say Thornbury vets delt with this difficult time for us with total professionalism and caring making a really tough time for us just that little bit bearable so a huge thanks to all the staff and vets who helped me take care of my much loved companion scooby.

While I do enjoy this show a lot, the vets both seem really nice and very caring, what I don't understand is why neither of them feel the need to wear surgical masks while operating? they are working over a sterile field that should be protected at all costs and when you have someone breathing that close to an open wound it doesn't bear thinking about what germs are being transferred, I wouldn't want them operating on any of my animals.

For any animal lover, this is the ideal program. The main two vets, Peter and Julian are amazing, their knowledge, kindness and dedication is plain to see. When sadly they lose an animal or have to euthanise one its clear to see that it affects them. One thing that stands out with The Yorkshire Vet is that this isn't one of those shows that highlights rich, well off people that you can't relate to, it shows down to Earth, normal, average people that you can instantly make a connection with and feel their loss or pain. Long may it continue.
This came up on my television after something else I was watching, whilst I was aware of the programme, never actually watched it until now.
Another 'people doing their job show' which to be honest I cannot see the attraction of. Then I looked at the information and saw it was series 14!
How there can be 14 series of a show whose highlights in my episode were a guinea pig being anaesthetised and a pony getting an injection, is totally beyond me. Needless to say I will not be watching any more.

Both of the vet shows i used to watch all moved to streaming services that you have to pay for. So i was searching and decided to give the yorkshire vet a chance and i am so very happy that i did. The scenery is awesome and the vets really care for their animals and the owners. They are nothing like the one in michigan and i am so glad they are not. Really refreshing to watch a show such as this one. Peter and julian are really concerned about their animals that they care for. I really enjoy seeing the Greens and how nice everything is in Yorkshire. Makes me want to visit. It is truly a breath of fresh air on.
