A Manitoba vet will soon become a television celebrity.
Keri Hudson Reykdal, who practices in Ashern, Man., is the star of Dr. Keri — Prairie Vet, a new show on the Animal Planet channel in Canada.
The first program will air Dec. 10 and the series is scheduled to run for 10 episodes.
A news release from Merit Motion Pictures, the Canadian company that created the show, said the program follows Hudson Reykdal as she “travels the rural roads of northern Manitoba in her high-tech mobile clinic.”
Over the 10 episodes Hudson Reykdal will deal with all sorts of animal patients, from angry bulls to pedigreed show dogs.
Hudson-Reykdal’s husband, Calvin, will also be featured on the show. He manages a cow-calf herd in the Ashern area.
For more than 15 years Hudson Reykdal has run a mixed animal practice in Ashern, located about 175 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
Dr. Keri — Prairie Vet can also be viewed at AnimalPlanet.ca and on Discovery GO.
