“America’s favorite veterinarian.”

“Nat Geo WILD’s #1 series The Incredible Dr. Pol continues to charm audiences and animal lovers everywhere.”
—TV by the Numbers

“Dr. Pol really is incredible! His hard work, dedication, and passion for his career comes through the TV, leaving viewers wanting more of the friendly veterinarian.”
— Yahoo! TV

From the time he was twelve years old and helped deliver a litter of piglets on his family’s farm to the incredible moments captured on his hit TV show, Dr. Pol has amassed a wealth of stories of what it’s like caring for this menagerie of animals. He shares his own story of growing up surrounded by animals, training to be a vet in the Netherlands, and moving to Michigan to open his first practice in a pre fab house. He has established himself as an empathetic yet no-nonsense vet who isn’t afraid to make the difficult decisions in order to do what’s best for his patients—and their hard-working owners. A sick pet can bring heartache, but a sick cow or horse could threaten the very livelihood of a farmer whose modest profits are dependent on healthy livestock.

Reminiscent of the classic books of James Herriot, Never Turn Your Back on an Angus Cow is a charming, fascinating, and funny memoir that will delight animal lovers everywhere.
