Dr. Jan Pol has been a practicing veterinarian for more than half his life. In 1981, he and his wife, Diane, opened a vet business out of their home, and over the years it has grown to service more than 19,000 clients. Set in central Michigan's farm country, this reality series follows the work done at Pol Veterinary Services. Specializing in large farm animals, Dr. Pol treats horses, pigs, cows, sheep, alpacas, goats, chickens and even an occasional reindeer. The program also features Dr. Brenda Grettenberger, who has worked with Dr. Pol since 1992.

Dr. Pol and his team make their patient list during the holiday season and treat those which are naughty, spotty, snotty and nice.

It's an emotional time for the Pols as they say farewell to their beloved Great Dane, Frija.

As Thanksgiving draws near, Charles plans to cook Thanksgiving dinner for the staff at the clinic.

It's fall in Michigan, so animals are getting final checkups before the cold weather.
