Treating other people’s pets is one thing, but what happens when the patient is your own? In “Our Pets, Ourselves,” “Incredible Northern Vets” explores the unique challenges and emotional complexities of caring for the furry, feathered, or scaled members of their own families. The line between objective medical professional and worried pet parent blurs, adding a new dimension to the already demanding world of veterinary medicine.
As the team grapples with these personal cases, Dr. Emma takes a trip home, offering a glimpse into her life outside the clinic. This personal interlude provides a welcome respite from the intensity of the medical dramas, allowing viewers to connect with the vets on a more human level.
“Our Pets, Ourselves” airs on National Geographic Wild on Saturday, February 22, 2025.
