Dr. Jan Pol is not your typical veterinarian. Born and raised in the Netherlands on his family's dairy farm, he is the charismatic and world-renowned star of Nat Geo Wild's #1 hit series, "The Incredible Dr. Pol," as well as author of the best-selling book, "Never Turn Your Back On An Angus Cow: My Life as a Country Vet", a memoir that recounts amusing, and often poignant, tales from his incredible 48 year veterinary career. He graduated from de prestigious Utrecht University Veterinary program in 1970 and began his career working for a local vet in Harbor Beach, Michigan.

He has been treating pets and livestock in rural Michigan since the 1970s and is a pioneer in his field. He has more than 23,000 clients, and his patients range from white mice and snakes to cows and 2,600 pound horses.

An expert in large farm animals, Dr. Pol works to ensure that the diminishing population of family farmers remains in business. And he plays an integral role in keeping farmers' livestock healthy and their businesses profitable.
