Best mates since university, vets Anthony Bennett and James Carroll have set up practices in beautiful Shoalhaven region of NSW, working on farm animals, domestic pets and wildlife. Today they help an Alpaca mum feed its new born, tend a horse who’s eaten chook pellets, extract a glass marble from a bearded dragon lizard, and assist in a calf birth.
Whilst the vets struggle to save the life of a horse during an operation to remove a skin tumour, their young protégé Bryden gets a chance to perform a cow stomach operation and Anthony attends a snuffly wombat.
Anthony checks on a pig named Kevin Bacon, while James struggles with a pregnant cow. Meanwhile, a sheep needs a blood transfusion, Annie the dog has torn her knee bone and Anthony's engagement party plans are interrupted.
The vets tend to some complaining cows, they castrate a ferret, perform major stomach surgery on a sick cow, tend to a dying alpaca and open their clinic for all the pets in the district, including a snappy croc.
James finds trouble at his backdoor in the shape of a red belly black snake, Jaxson the dog has a suspicious lump, and a kangaroo in Nowra Zoo has smashed its teeth. Anthony visits the Royal Sydney Show as honorary vet.
This brand new local production for The LifeStyle Channel follows country vets and long-time best mates Dr. James Carroll and Dr. Anthony Bennett as they work with animals big and small.

Filmed across the picturesque Shoalhaven region of NSW’s South Coast, Village Vets Australia is about the bonds between people and their pets, farmers and their animals and the friendship of two great mates.
