On The Red Dot: At The Vets

While working with animals all day might sound like a dream, the truth is that being a vet is one of the most grueling jobs around. Long hours and demanding clients can take a toll on animal doctors. Globally, there is a higher incidence of depression and suicide among vets. At The Vets is an observational documentary that takes an intimate look at what vets do daily. It shows the long hours that many put in, and emotional toll that caring for our pets can take. We celebrate the moments of triumph when animals are nursed back to health, and we commiserate with the tragedy for those that are beyond help. Along the way, we will also tell the stories of the pets and owners who come through the doors of the clinics, and how our little animal companions make us all a little more human.
