The Incredible Dr. Pol
The Incredible Dr. Pol
The Incredible Dr. Pol is a Nat Geo Wild TV show about a longtime veterinarian, his staff at Pol Veterinary Services, and the furry and feathered animals under their care. Set in Central Michigan's countryside, the reality TV series became a hit shortly after debuting in 2011.
Dr. Jan Pol's patients are mostly farm animals, such as cows, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, and chickens. The mild-mannered Dr. Brenda Grettenberger, who has worked with Dr. Pol since 1992, is also a show regular, as is Pol's family, including his wife Diane and son Charles.
Fans tune in to the series for doses of Dr. Pol's wit, wisdom, optimism, and interesting animal encounters.
