Calling all animal lovers: “Supervet” on Animal Planet ***POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT***

‎07-26-2014 05:33 AM

Has anyone watched “Supervet” on Animal Planet? Get your tissues out and be prepared to have your heart warmed and a bit broken, too. I saw the first episode last week. I’m a real softie when it comes to the shows about those who are so passionate, dedicated and tender in caring for animals. This show had me in tears. Several times.


British “Supervet” Noel Fitzpatrick is a genius, in my opinion, using and developing state-of-the-art procedures in complex cases to care for the dear creatures he mends and heals. Fitzpatrick’s and his staff’s devotion and love are palpable, and it extends to the human guardians of the little angels, too. There’s precious little on the internet about the show, but I’ll include a couple of links to video clips.

Season 1, Episode 2: A rabbit with a broken leg requires an operation; a three-legged dog has an injured front paw. Original Air Date: Jul 26, 2014

You mean.....there's going to be a show on Animal Planet that's actually about animals?

Hi, there, NC Bandwagon!Smile I know, it's about time, right?

I saw a comment on the internet about this show, stating Animal Planet might begin to "redeem itself" with shows like this one.

I hope people watch and support this sort of programming.{#emotions_dlg.thumbup1}

Thanks for the heads up!

I have heard about Noel Fitzpatrick and recently read an online article that was all about the surgery he did to save that kitty's life.

Hi, beastielove! You're welcome. I'd never heard of him before, but now I'm hooked.

I guarantee, you'll need a box of tissues.{#emotions_dlg.wub}

I happen to see it last night, that poor pooch and what he went through with the three legs. Bad dog was pretty funny last night. The kitty playing the piano and the bird who talked dirty poo.

Has anyone seen the tall, blonde, handsome Aussie vet that is on channel 10? I caught it one time and wow. I just looked it up on u tube. Dr. Chris Brown, Bondi Vet. It's not on all the time but there are video's of him.

Sheltie Mom and Tinkrbl44, You're welcome! Glad the show has added some new fans!

luvmyteddy, I haven't heard of Dr. Chris Brown, but I'll look for the show online and see if it airs on one of my Comcast stations. Thanks!

I love that show! I also used to watch "Emergency Vets" all the time years ago when it was on.

And I agree, "Animal Planet" needs more actual animal-based shows! I think even PBS has more shows about animals. But I do have to admit that I'm a sucker for "Too Cute", both cat and dog versions!
