An Excerpt on Dr. Pol
Or, Why Most of the Veterinary Community Don’t Like Him
Basically, he is an old vet who has not kept up with the standard of medicine, and he is proud of it. There’s nothing wrong with being old, and there’s nothing wrong with doing things that have worked for you for years… as long as there is not literal scientific evidence against it. Veterinarians have strict continuing education requirements for a reason!
For example (and these were all ON THE SHOW) - A puppy attacked by another dog or large animal is put in a cage to await treatment and dies as a result. It should have been immediately triaged, placed on oxygen/fluids/pain relief as necessary, and had diagnostics performed to determine the extent of the injuries and required repairs begun, or euthanized if poor prognosis or lack of owner finances. Not allowed to die alone in a cage without treatment. - A dog with a GI obstruction dies. It wasn’t surgerized, euthanized, or even placed on fluids or pain relief to await one of those two fates. It died. - A dog’s tail is amputated without anesthesia or sterile technique. This is not neonatal tail docking (which is unethical to start with). This is an amputation. A surgical procedure in an adult dog. - A dog has an FHO (read: cutting off pieces of bone, which is a type of surgery where it is considered absolutely necessary to be 100% sterile), without proper sterile technique or pain relief. - A Boston Terrier (brachycephalic breed) has its eye removed without sterile technique, pain relief, or, get this - intubation. Intubation is where a tube is placed into the trachea so that oxygen and anesthesia can be delivered to the patient’s lungs. It is not always necessary for very short procedures or on very small animals such as tiny kittens or some exotics, but brachycephalic breeds ALWAYS require intubation during anesthesia. One of the defining characteristics of a brachycephalic is an elongated palate, which causes the “cute” (actually disgusting) snoring/honking/snorting that comes to mind when you think of a pug, English bulldog, or Frenchie. This same elongated palate blocks the airway when it is relaxed, which is the default state when under anesthesia. For all Dr. Pol knew, this animal was not receiving oxygen or anesthesia at all during this procedure.
He has also had official fines and sanctions placed upon him. - 2010 Complaint - $500 fine and 1-year probation. The first complaint was filed against Dr. Pol by a client in 2010 for giving poor advice and misdiagnosing dead puppies via ultrasound. The client had made multiple phone calls to Dr. Pol, complaining that her pregnant dog had passed her due date and was exhibiting a vaginal discharge. The phone calls were not documented, something all veterinarians can be guilty of. But when Dr. Pol and his associate performed an ultrasound days later, Dr. Pol claimed he saw movement from the puppies when, it seems, the 10 puppies were already dead. In 2012, Dr. Pol and his veterinary associates were found to be negligent, fined, placed on probation and ordered to complete some continuing education. During the proceedings, Dr. Pol claimed that he had done nothing wrong except for not documenting the phone calls, and that a jealous ex-associate had complained about him just to cause trouble for him. Nat Geo WILD tried to spin the outcome, stating that the fine was merely for an “administrative complaint, not malpractice or misdiagnosis.” - In 2014, a veterinarian filed a different complaint against Dr. Pol stating that when performing surgery on that Boston terrier from above that had been hit by an automobile, Dr. Pol didn’t wear sterile surgical attire. The veterinary board ordered Dr. Pol to pay a $500 fine and serve a year of probation in response to this complaint. However, the Michigan Court of Appeals overturned the disciplinary action in 2016, stating that the evidence provided was not sufficient. - Much more recently (2020) Dr. Pol was placed on professional probation for negligence. He was ordered to complete continuing education “in the areas of small animal surgical preparation and monitoring, and small/large animal aseptic technique.” The case dates back to 2013, when a TV viewer criticized how Dr. Pol performed an ovariohysterectomy on a dog. The state attorney general investigated the matter and filed a complaint against Dr. Pol for “failing to intubate the dog during surgery, failing to use an electronic monitoring device during the procedure, failing to request assistance locating the dog’s uterus during surgery and failing to wear a surgical cap, mask and gown during the procedure.” In 2015, the state received another complaint from a horse’s owners stating that Dr. Pol was not wearing a cap, gown or gloves when treating a cut on their horse’s leg and that he had also failed to trim the horse’s hair near the laceration. (It should be noted that in general, a cap and gown are not worn while treating equine leg lacerations. Sterile gloves are not usually worn either, but at minimum, examination gloves should be worn and the wound should be clipped and cleaned before repair. Many times you will discover that the wound is bigger or deeper than it initially appears under all the hair and dirt.) At any rate, his attorney isn’t worried. He says that the appeals process will not have a negative impact on the TV show. “This case demonstrates how the Michigan Veterinary Board makes arbitrary decisions. The Board even agreed that Dr. Pol’s care was competent. We have had these issues with the Board previously, which resulted in the Michigan Court of Appeals reversing the Board for arbitrary and capricious decision-making. Dr. Pol will continue to challenge the Board until a fair and rational process is used for review of veterinary care.”
Another thing that we don’t like about Dr. Pol and vets like him (such as Dr. Jeff) is that they make the rest of us look bad. When we require $400 for an enucleation (eye removal) as above, people whine and complain and say that’s way too high, if you really loved animals you would do it for $70 like Dr. Pol does. The fact of the matter is, you cannot offer good medicine for cheap unless you cut corners in patient safety and comfort (or unless you receive special grants/funding from the government or charitable organizations).
First, do no harm.
In most professional jobs there exists such a thing as Continueous Professional Development or CPD where you are required to complete courses, amounting to a certain number of points in your CPD cycle. This is to ensure that you stay up to date on current techniques.
What Dr Pol has demonstrated, is that not only does he not keep up with today’s standards, he doesn’t give a flying fuck about them, as evidenced by the numerous complaints against him. Dr Pol has remained absolutely stagnant in his techniques. No, I do not care that he’s an older vet that learned different ways and means at school nor that he is from a different country. None of that is any excuse for the blatant negligence and absolute disregard for veterinary ethics and standards this man has demonstrated (please check above for examples)
I have worked with what I refer to as Boomer vets, older generation vets that did more production animal work than smallies because that’s the way the work was laid out back in the day, and I have seen them adapt and adapt very well to new standards. Some of them even pressed for better technology.
Now, I’m sure there are several vets in every generation that say to hell with standards, but what really grates my tits is the fact that this man has turned that blatant disregard into an internationally known TV show and people eat it up. Vets who keep up to date with standards have to hear, day in and day out, how absolutely wonderful this man is as he single-handedly tramples over out hard work in the public relations sector. He has caused an immense amount of damage as vets all around the world cannot sway his fans into trusting proper vet care because “that’s not what Dr Pol does” and honestly I am sick of it.
Dr Pol is a very bad example of veterinary medicine, and, to be honest, I blame his fans for the fact that his TV show is still running, never mind that it has gotten so popular. His show is profoundly harmful towards veterinary medicine and Nat Geo should be ashamed for still airing it.
I do not condone what this man does. I do not like him or his manner of practice.
Experience does not equate being a good vet.
TL:DR dr pol disregards veterinary standards and fucks up people’s perceptions of how veterinary medicine works.
I wholeheartedly agree with this post, but as a non-vet, I’m curious to if the other vets Nat Geo WILD shows (Yukon Vet, Critter Fixers, etc.) are properly caring for their patients as well. Haven’t watched much Critter Fixers because it’s such a recent show, but Yukon Vet seems more up to date to me?
I cannot comment on most vet TV shows because a) I have not had a cable subscription available to me since 2011, and b) I don’t want to watch vet TV shows when I get home anyway. The veterinary Facebook groups I’m a part of seem to agree that Yukon Vet, Aloha Vet, and Dr. K Exotic Vet are all okay. I’ll put a plug in for Heartland Docs because they’re both graduates of my vet school (although, that being said, Dr. Pol’s newest vet is also a graduate of my school and was my neighbor until last year when he graduated. Maybe he’s practicing better medicine than Dr. Pol. I’ll never know because I won’t watch it).

people asking abt v*gan ferret food make me SO mad I stg
Saw a blog post abt this
Which they said is also good for ferrets and just
ImaGINE thinking that dogs and cats have the same nutritional requirements holy Christ
just as a little note here, cats and ferrets WILL die without meat in their diets, cats especially cannot create a lot of amino acids from their foods like humans or dogs can, cats 100% must get these amino acids through the consumption of meat. feeding a cat or a ferret a vegetarian, vegan or otherwise meat free diet is a death sentence. if you are not comfortable with purchasing meat products a carnivorous pet is not for you. it is just as, if not more cruel to let your pet die from improper diet as it is for the livestock killed for the meat product it must consume
Want a vegan pet? Get a rabbit. Not a cat

I don’t understand this kind of post. It’s so dishonest and weird.
The Amazon rainforest is being burned in large part to make way for cattle, and crops to feed cattle, so that the cattle can be killed to feed carnists.
In the US, ranchers are killing native wildlife that encroach on their livestock, and staging occupations of public land so that they can graze livestock to feed carnists.
Why are (white?) vegans being made into villains here when it’s the global (and American) demand for meat that’s one of the major reasons global biodiversity is being systematically wiped out?
Native person: White vegans regularly act horrendously racist and disgusting to us, despite us not doing anything negative to the planet. Stop vilifying us for things we don’t do.
White vegans: UHM WHAT ABOUT ALL THIS SHIT THAT IS HAPPENING TO THE PLANET??????
😒 Please read posts and realize what is being talked about. Why the fuck do you consider what a native person is saying about their own experiences to be “dishonest and weird”?
Not only that, Brazilian indigenous are still trying to protect their land from the Brazilian government. The government is doing a lot of harm on the rainforest and indigenous sacred lands. They are also using the land for products like soy, which lots of people who don’t eat animal products use.
The dairy and beef industries are everchanging and continually improving themselves and finding new ways to farm without harming the land. It isn’t perfect, but it also isn’t the leading cause of Co2 emissions and there are also lots of other factors killing native flora and fauna at exceptionally high rates.
White vegans are creating lots of problems and destruction for us as indigenous people. You try to be ethical but you are destroying as much as “carnists” are. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and if you want to be as ethical as you can, stop living. We all try to be ethical and help the world in our own ways.
That, and what has any of this got to do with indigenous people trying to protect the earth? We are just trying to live. Maybe you should do something worth your time like we do, and stop advocating for useless things like vegan ethics?
People who prefer hot weather: Snow and ice are a pain, and the cold is just kind of uncomfortable even when you wrap up, you know?
People who prefer cold weather: MY SKIN LITERALLY MELTS OFF EVERY SUMMER I AM A FUCKING HUMAN SOUP AS WE SPEAK
you wouldn’t believe how many people reblogged this to whine about hot weather in the tags.

The cold is easily shut out, the heat is inescapable hell
THE TRUTH COMES OUT.
Avoidance techniques for the cold:
-more coats, fire, hot food and drink, stay inside, fuzzy sweaters, ear muffs, become a burrito
Avoidance techniques for heat:
-die, I guess.
FUCK. HEAT.
