    Talk to me baby

    But don't talk baby talk. Most of the staff do it and it drives me crazy. Why? I didn't even apeak to my own human babies this way. And I certainly have never spoken to my fur babies this way. Maybe it's the only way exotics understand. Rant over!

    Love 💘 it!

    Not only do I watch this show, but I re-watch every episode several times. It does not get old or boring. And yes the doctor's may exaggerate and say things to create drama such as, "They can die from that", in my opinion it just adds to the drama. I have learned more about animals and exotic pets in particular, because I watch this show. I love the Dr's and what they stand for. Thank you for making a reality show that makes a difference.

    Love the show

    I love this show but all the 2 female doctors is repeat over and over... their going to die!!! During surgery "their going to die" during X-ray " their going to die" nothing positive just repeat over and over again!!!!

    Realistic and educational reality show.

    I've been an IMDb lurker for at least 10 years, and this is the first show that motivated me to make my first review.

    It's a breath of fresh air to see a reality show that is actually smart and realistic. They show the bright and the dark side of being a veterinarian. Nothing is censored or held back... some animals are healed, and some pass. It's exciting, entertaining, educational, and hilarious at times. Dr.K makes some great innuendos that crack me up. I highly recommend this show, and hope that Nat Geo wild continues to air this show for years to come. Air this more frequently and renew this show for more seasons! :)

    made my list

    I am very picky about shows. Any shows. Especially a rated 10 that says it all right there. I do watch Dr. Pol which has a great cast (minus one vet who clearly hates her job) but I tried another on netflix and that one seemed staged. Not helpful. On Dr. K's it is very evident that it is real and the other employees really enjoy working there. Like the tatted assistant ( so sorry i cannot recall his name) he is like the go to guy, really knows his stuff. All the vets are wonderful, all of them. I look forward to watching them now. Every time I learn something I go and tell my son lol...."did you know animals have a cardiologist or ophthalmologist" and then my son and I talk for an hour or more about it. Then its on to another show. I highly recommend this show. Its real, its kind and its just a joy for all. So thankful its on hulu as on utube you get hooked but only 3 episodes avail. When done right these shows are outstanding. Your teaching as well as doing the show so it matters truly the intention of the cast. Are they doing it for money? Are they staging every animal is urgent urgent or are they really doing it for the animals. So thumbs up, back pats, thank you for doing what you do.
