Fern Britton is trading the morning sofa for the surgical suite in Fern Britton: Inside the Vets, a new series hitting ITV1 on Friday, July 4 at 2:00 PM. The debut episode sees Britton getting hands-on at The Grove Vets in Bristol, giving viewers a straightforward look into the daily grind of animal care.
The premiere opens with Britton assisting on a doggy dentistry case involving a spaniel, quickly setting the tone for a series that aims to be practical rather than overly dramatic. Beyond the teeth, the episode also follows a 10-year-old Cavachon preparing for orthopedic surgery, a procedure meant to improve her long-term well-being.
This new program introduces the dedicated vets and nursing staff at The Grove, along with the pet owners whose concerns drive much of the action. It’s a chance to see the behind-the-scenes work involved in keeping beloved pets healthy, from routine check-ups to more serious interventions.
