LUMPS, TUMORS AND CYSTS, OH MY! "POP MY PET" STREAMS EXCLUSIVELY ON DISCOVERY+

One of the fastest-growing services in veterinary sciences is the outbreak of lumps, tumors and cysts on our beloved pets and other animals. In an all-new special streaming exclusively on discovery+, the definitive non-fiction, real-life subscription streaming service, POP MY PET brings audiences on a wild behind-the-scenes ride as a team of skilled veterinarians take on extreme cases of animals - from dogs to gators - who suffer from a variety of skin and other ailments and change their lives for the better! See these vets roll up their sleeves, throw on some gloves, and work their magic and watch these incredible pet transformations on POP MY PET, streaming exclusively on discovery+ Monday, Mar. 1.

POP MY PET introduces veterinarians Dr. Jackie Duenas, Dr. Cody Creelman, and Dr. Grant Dunbar as they race against the clock to save their animal patients from mass(ive) setbacks. In this one-hour special, watch closely as Dr. Jackie, located in Miami operates on Pumpkin, a rescued canine who suffers from a melon-sized mass. In addition, Dr. Jackie will enter GatorLand by sunny Orlando to save Predator the Alligator, who has a mysterious lump on his jaw. As Predator is wrangled for his swamp-side operation, reptile expert Savannah Boan keeps a close eye on his movements, as well as the ten other gators lurking in the back. Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the continent, Dr. Cody visits Melissa Reinhard Farm in Calgary to treat beloved Jersey steer, Archie. We'll check in with Dr. Grant in Chino Hills, CA as he operates on a hanging lump that randomly expands and contracts at different times of the month on a Maltese dog named Sweet Pea. Is it cancer, a hernia or something less sinister? Dr. Grant does all he can to make sure Sweet Pea continues living a sweet life.
