The first programme in a new series introduced by Jack Pizzey
In Britain today there are over five million dogs, nearly four million cats, about three million budgerigars; 300,000 horses, ponies, and donkeys; fish - nobody knows the exact total, but it's estimated at over 10 million.
Alligators, monkeys, turtles, bush babies and gerbils are just a few of the exotic pets kept by another 750,000 people in this country.
Looking after the health of all of them - the Veterinary Surgeon.
