The Incredible Dr. Pol: Freezin’ Pol’d
Premieres Saturday, Jan. 9, at 9/8c
It’s the dead of winter in Michigan, but the arctic temperatures can’t stop clients from blowing into the Pol Veterinary Services — from Nugget, the hedgehog that has a sticky situation, to Tiny, the quarter horse that has a severely torn eyelid — and neither snow, nor sleet, nor ice will slow down the Pol vet team when an animal’s in need!

The Incredible Dr. Pol: Dairy Queens
Premieres Saturday, Jan. 16, at 9/8c
The elements have never stopped the staff at Pol Veterinary Services from working their tails off — not even lots of snow and ice. They are in the midst of one of Michigan’s toughest winters, but the team won’t let the frigid temperatures slow them down. Being a farm vet is no easy task, especially in rural Michigan — there are 375,000 dairy cows in the state! The clinic receives a call about an agitated cow at a nearby farm. The situation is not looking good for the cow, which recently birthed a calf. Will she even let Dr. Pol close enough to help her? Back at the clinic, Dr. Emily is examining Lily, an Australian shepherd who arrives at the clinic in a stretcher, immobilized by a painful and mysterious ailment. And for Dr. Brenda, an emergency call about a cow with birthing complications keeps her busy.

Central Michigan is in the throes of a brutal winter that just won’t quit, but the staff of Pol Veterinary Services remains undeterred — no matter the conditions. There are sick animals that need care, and these are just the vets for the job. Dr. Pol’s first client is a true American war hero — Jypsy, a retired military bomb-sniffing dog with a sprained leg. Dr. Pol works to get this lovable veteran back on her feet so she can enjoy her retirement.
