Vets and Their Pets: An All Creatures Great and Small Celebration

Vets and Their Pets: An All Creatures Great and Small Celebration

KAMU loves pets of all sizes… or shall we say “All Creatures Great and Small!” Season 5 of the beloved show returns to KAMU on Sundays at 8 p.m. beginning Jan. 12, bringing heartwarming stories of veterinary life back to your screens.

All Creatures Great and Small

College Station in 2025 may not be the Yorkshire Dales during World War II, but just as the show has a team of beloved vets, so do we. We’re home to the world-renowned Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, full of talented faculty, residents, interns and students. They provide compassionate care to your creatures, however great or small.

These caring vets also share a bond with their own special pets. So we’re showing off those adorable friendships to get you in the spirit for the return of “All Creatures.”

Don’t miss the new season that reminds us why we care so much for the creatures who share our world. Watch Sundays at 8 p.m., beginning Jan. 12, or stream the most recent episode anytime on PBS.org. And check our TV schedule for more dramas coming this spring.
