Documentary following the work of pioneering veterinary practice Fitzpatrick Referrals in Surrey, where orthopaedic-neuro veterinary surgeon Noel Fitzpatrick and his team help some of the nation's hardest-to-cure pets using cutting-edge procedures. A three-year-old Newfoundland dog needs surgery for its bent front legs, and a long-haired Chihuahua requires a total hip replacement. A woman brings in her German shepherd, which has developed a painful degenerative spinal disease requiring treatment.
