Jan Pol Pets
ANNIE - She's sweet, she's gentle, and honestly? Smiling is kind of her thing. Pure sunshine in dog form!
ATHENA - The OG of the Danes. She’s old, wise, and totally the boss of the bunch. No one messes with Athena.
NONO - A goat who thinks she’s one of the chickens. Obsessed with corn.
KILLIAN - They call him “The Shadow” for a reason. He’s Dr. Pol’s ride-or-die—always two steps behind, never far away.
DONAR - Looks innocent… but don’t be fooled. He’s usually plotting mischief and dragging Killian into it!
TATER - The iconic 3-legged clinic cat. Loves croonchies, patrols the lot like a mini lion, and proudly chases “mices.”
LUNA - Named after the moon goddess. Now glowing in her fur-ever home with Doc and Diane.
ANNEKE AND JOHANSA - These majestic horses? They spend their days roaming pastures and gossiping with the emus.
ATLAS - The newest furball on the block. Young, wild, and full of energy. The puppy zoomies are real.
EMUS - Just casually running wild like they own the place. Horse BFFs, too.
CHICKENS - Cats, horses, dogs… and yep, a whole chicken army — Dr. Pol’s got ‘em all!
PEAFOWL - Walking beauty queens with feathers to flaunt. They know they’re fabulous.
# Dr. Jan Pol was born in the Netherlands and moved to the U.S. in the 1970s. His Dutch accent is still strong, and fans love it!
# Dr. Pol has treated more than 20,000 animals in his career—everything from dogs and cows to pigs and even a few birds!
# He became famous in his 70s through the Nat Geo Wild show “The Incredible Dr. Pol”, which first aired in 2011.
# Get to know the real stars of Dr. Pol’s life on the ‘Furry Friends’ page—where every pet has a name, a story, and a whole lot of charm!
# Even though he’s a TV star, Dr. Pol still drives out to farms and homes to treat animals, just like the old days.
# He’s known for working 14-hour days and rarely taking time off—because for him, animals always come first.
# Dr. Pol faced criticism from some vets and was fined in 2014 for not wearing proper surgical attire. However, in 2015, the decision was overturned as there was no solid proof of negligence, and the dog’s owners were satisfied with his care. He also received an honorary doctorate in 2013 from Central Michigan University.
# His show has fans worldwide—proof that animal love (and Dr. Pol’s humor) is a universal language!
# Dr. Pol once said "People ask me all the time what my favorite animal is. That's easy, my favorite animal is a healthy animal"
