Find out which countries are Pol-itively ecstatic about the news.

Dr. Pol attended the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show

The veterinarian in January just attended the celebrated dog show and was in awe of the strength of the human and pet relationship.

It was fantastic,” he told People in February. “The people with their dogs were completely in tune.”

The 77-year-old animal doctor commented on his philosophy that any and every dog can, eventually, be trained.

“Every dog is trainable. Work with them. Don’t just feed them and pet them occasionally,” Dr Pol recommends. “Make them listen. Find what makes your dog love performing and work on that bond.”

‘The Incredible Dr. Pol’ just wrapped up its current season

The reality show just ended its sixteenth season, with highlights including the departure of Dr. Emily, and the arrivals of Dr. Lisa and Dr. Ray to the veterinary clinic.

Dr. Pol has said one of his main satisfactions in the show is seeing how the American farmer has been given the visibility they deserve. He himself was raised on a farm in the Netherlands and knows the life of a farmer is not an easy one, by any means.

He was asked by The Chicago Tribune in 2018 if he still felt it was a good idea that he and his wife, Diane, had agreed to do the reality show.

“Yes, because it has put the American farmer in a positive light,” Pol said. “We now have people who know where their milk comes from. Where their meat comes from. And maybe some are vegetarians. But farmers have benefited from the show and that’s one of my main goals.”

The reality show is now streaming in more countries on Disney+

This week, Dr. Pol posted on Instagram that the reality show will be streaming in even more locations around the globe.

“Good news! Past seasons of #DrPol will be available to stream on #DisneyPlus in more countries starting March 24. New seasons will continue to air on @natgeowild or Nat Geo depending on where you live.”

The list of new countries to be Pol-ified is extensive.

“@disneyplus launches next week in the U.K. and Ireland, France, Spain, Italy and across German-speaking territories. Further Western European territories, including Belgium, the Nordics and Portugal, will follow this summer.”

“Series availability may vary. We will continue to update you as we learn more!”

Fans on Instagram were excited, and some were hopeful their country would be added soon.

“I am waiting for it in Romania too. But only for the show Dr. Pol because I am addicted,” one fan posted in reply.

Another said, “Thank God.. I needed some good news in my life lol”
