‘THE VET LIFE’ RETURNS TO ANIMAL PLANET ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 10
August 8, 2019
Business has been booming for Texas-based veterinarians and best friends Dr. Diarra Blue, Dr. Aubrey Ross and Dr. Michael Lavigne after the opening of their second animal clinic in the Houston area. In another exciting season of THE VET LIFE which premieres on Saturday, August 10th at 10 PM ET/PT, audiences will continue to witness as the doctors’ practices and families grow.
In previous seasons, viewers watched as the doctors practiced yoga moves with goats, castrated a donkey named Kenny Rogers, operated on a pit bull with a record-breaking 16-pound tumor, and competed for the title of pig whisperer.
Stories this season include: Dr. Blue and Dr. Lavigne facing-off over whose crawfish is better during a Cy-Fair staff appreciation celebration, Dr. Ross receiving an unexpected emergency visit from his Mama with the family’s beloved bearded dragon, and the vets tackling treatments like ACL surgery on a Serbian Husky with a torn knee ligament, tumor removals on a pet rat, and curing a hedgehog’s mystery illness. Additionally, Dr. Ross and Dr. Blue team up to ensure a pet llama remains calm and a giant Schnauzer goes through a life-saving cancer surgery that leaves him with only one ear.
Along with two thriving animal clinics, the veterinarians’ personal lives are bustling too. Dr. Blue and his wife Jessica welcome a baby girl to their family, Dr. Ross helps his brother Tedrick, who suffers from grand mal seizures, get a service dog that will later save his life, and Dr. Lavinge and his wife Anne are enjoying extra time for interesting, new hobbies now that their kids are old enough to take care of themselves. Despite the unpredictable chaos each day may bring, this group of friends say opening their clinic is the best decision they’ve ever made.
THE VET LIFE is produced for Animal Planet by Glass Entertainment Group with Argle Bargle Films. For Glass Entertainment Group, Nancy Glass is the executive producer. For Argle Bargle Films, Shannon Biggs and Jairus Cobb are executive producers. For Animal Planet, Keith Hoffman is executive producer and Sarah Russell is supervising producer.
