Exclusive Interview: 10 Questions with The Incredible Dr. Pol
In honor of National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week (November 5th-11th), star of National Geographic Wild’s #1 series, Dr. Jan Pol from The Incredible Dr. Pol took time from his busy schedule to offer our readers his expertise on spaying and neutering, as well as answer some burning questions we had about him, his family and the show. We’re HUGE fans of the show and so excited to get the opportunity to interview him as well as help spread the word about the importance of spaying and neutering all pets to help reduce the number of unwanted animals who end up in shelters through no fault of their own.
