I really loved this show. I hope it does come back. Sorry it’s canceled.
It was such a great show!! Please bring it back!!
Dr. Lavigne has a son and a daughter, not two daughters.
You really need to correct some of your information.
The first paragraph you say for The Vet Life that they are “vegetarians”, um, no, you mean veterinarians.
Also Dr. Mike Lavigne doesn’t have two boys, which is incorrect, he has a daughter and a son.
They also live in Houston, not Huston.
I really hope and pray that his show continues, because I love it!
Thought I would be able to find the answer about the TV Series The Vet Life but it appears this is just copied from what is on Google. So then tell me whats the difference

Is there no one to proof read this, before allowing it to be “published”?
Horribly written and full of spelling errors and gibberish sentences that made no sense.

They are not vegetarians, they are VETERINARIANS, idiot who wrote this article.
I love The Vet Life . Please do more shows . We should have more shows like this & Amazing Dr. Pol .

I just love this show.
My wife and I enjoy the program, funny and serious. All the different animals and laughter, and FAMILY. Wholesome.
Bring Vet Life back to Animal Planet in 2023.

3 Veterinarians, NOT Vegetarians!
I binge watch this show! I really love it! I love the play among the doctors and their families. The animal part of the show is wholly entertaining, informative. and entertaining. A wonderful job by all!!!
I just loved these guys and their families. I truly hope they are doing well. I miss the show so much! My Prayers are with them all.
I really enjoy the Vet Life. Been searching for new episodes. Sincerely hope Animal Planet decides to renew this series. Programming this last year has been so dry and repetitive and uninteresting. Not my favorite channel anymore.
I love love love this show so much! There so very few shows I can feel safe to have my grandchildren watch with me. Thank you so very much for quality programing! Also Dr. Jeff rocky mountain vet. We don’t any of these shows, and record all of them, old and new alike. Plea se keep both of these shows going a very long time! Very Sincerely, Patricia Dukes
The writer’s grasp of the English language is deplorable. The vets are vegetarians? LMAO Far from it…the word is “veterinarians”. Also what, pray tell, does “does not mean ogre well” mean? And what about “Blue became a neighborhood veterinary”?
Stick to your native tongue or hire a proper translator.
The fact that Google & Yahoo were not fined/banned for stealing articles from other publications/authors & not paying for them is deplorable. The quality of writing (as opposed to print journalism) has plummeted. Ethics/factual reporting that was the usual standard of journalism in years past is no longer practiced nor expected.
Either NetMag, the actual author, or the designated proofreader failed in the jobs that precede actually publishing an article. And no one has ever corrected the many problems here. Sad.
I find this with most online articles. My students are better proofreaders!
How did the covid pandemic affect their business? If at all.
WE LOVE WATCHING VET LIFE SAD TO SEE IT GONE WILL IT COME BACK ? HOPEFULLY IT WILL
I wish it would come back to.
I’m a Jonny come lately. Wasn’t aware of this show during that time. I would’ve made a trip to TX just to save my pup. He was diagnosed with a neurological condition. I’m sure they could’ve save him. They seem so much caring than from some vets here in the DMV area. My baby died in my arms in 2021????????
Love this show, I hope they would bring it back.
Is there a chance of bringing back The Vet Life? We just fou nd it and enjoy it very much. Please advise.
I really loved these 3 doctors. I think they were fabulous doctors. At the same time, they had great personalities and were very entertaining. I hope all is well with them and we see them back in the future.
i wish we had human doctors as caring and passionate as these doctors.
the writer here however, listed the veterinarians as vegetarians. The three are all uniquely different but very much the same ironically.
I loved this show. It was a great family and a great family show. I’m sorry it is now longer airing.
I love the VET show-bring it back
Wish the show was still in production
It was a great show.
We are big fans of The Vet Life!! Hoping we get some new episodes. We’re wearing out the older ones! ???????????????????????? These doctors clearly love animals. (One small correction. Dr Lavigne has a girl and a boy, not 2 boys.)
I watch The Vet Life on Free-Vee. Reruns can play 24/7 for all I care. That’s how much I love the show. Regardless of legal complications or whaTever, I remain a loyal fan!
I truly loved watching this show. There was so much I learned and took away from watching these successful doctors at work. Please bring the show back!!!!!
Dr. Dee Akram
I was sad to hear the latest series of the Vet Life was canceled, I was really looking forward to the new season.

I LOVE this show. BEAUTIFUL SUCCESSFUL BLACK DOCTORS! But there is an error. Dr Levine has one daughter in college & one son, not two sons. Great article also.
I love watching this show. I find it to be very interesting and there is so much you can learn about different types of pets and what it takes to keep them healthy! Please bring this show back
