Texas-based veterinarians, Dr. Diarra Blue, Dr. Aubrey Ross and Dr. Michael Lavigne, return with all-new animal cases on THE VET LIFE beginning Saturday, January 11 at 10 PM ET/PT. Animal Planet audiences will follow the dynamic trio as they continue to lend support to one another amidst juggling home life with their families and work life with their loving clientele of dogs and cats, farm animals, and more!

This season, the vets open a second clinic in the Houston area and celebrate in style by getting matching tattoos. They encounter new challenges at the Cy-Fair Animal Hospital including Dr. Ross performing urgent surgery just in time to save a giant lethargic lizard named Shredder; Dr. Lavigne helping Walter, a sweet little pug mix, smell the roses after clearing his nasal passage; and Dr. Blue performing an emergency procedure on an adorable chihuahua mix, Hardtime, who is battling heart disease, struggles to breathe during his routine checkup.

While the vets work around the clock to save animals, new adventures also unfold at home. Dr. Ross and his wife, Tauvia, have much to celebrate as their daughter, Kennedy, celebrates her first birthday; Dr. Lavigne and his wife, Anne, help their daughter, Sydney, move out of their house and into her first apartment; while Dr. Blue and wife, Jessica, enjoy their new addition to the family – their first baby girl, Nia. Audiences follow these stories and more as the passionate vets share the ups and down – and everything in between – of their practice and family lives.

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.
