dr Sébastien Kfoury invites us to accompany him in his daily life. From consultations and routine check-ups to follow-up examinations, surgeries and night shifts – the documentation dr Sebastien, veterinarian allows us to discover the many facets of the veterinary profession and much more.
dr Sébastien Kfoury points out right from the start that he has a hyperactive side. This undoubtedly explains why he did not settle for a simple career as a veterinarian. He’s the owner of 13 hospitals, including two emergency centers in Laval and Brossard, as well as a veteran entrepreneur and, of course, a TV personality. The celebrity vet has previously given us an overview of his practice on Radio-Canada’s Animo series, in which he presented specific specific cases. The documentation for the veterinarian Dr. However, Sébastien go further: they offer us privileged access behind the scenes of his main clinic in Brossard, where the doctor and his team fight every day to treat animals and save lives.
difficult decisions
In the first episode we meet several small patients on all fours. There’s Paco, a Boston Terrier with allergies; Rocky, a schnauzer who split his forehead in a fight with another dog; Saké, a 14-year-old diabetic Chihuahua who can no longer stand on his feet, and a five-day-old Shiba Inu puppy whose condition continues to deteriorate. While some cases are relatively easy to treat, others are cause for concern.
Unfortunately, while the veterinarian’s goal is always to cure the sick, euthanasia is an integral part of his profession, just as it is part of the reality of any pet owner who may one day have to make that difficult decision.
Later this season
In the next few episodes we will treat other cases in the clinic and accompany Sébastien outside the walls of the hospital, notably on a fishing trip and a visit to the set of the Curieux Bégin show. In addition, we will be able to see that the veterinarian has developed a unique bond with animals over the years and that he has an insatiable thirst for knowledge that led him to study Mandarin in particular!

In the second episode, Sébastien is confronted with every veterinarian’s nightmare: he has to operate on his own dog. In fact, Gaïa, her standard 10-year-old poodle, has developed a mass on one leg, forcing Sébastien to amputate a finger. While many veterinarians are simply unable to operate on their animal, Sébastien prefers to perform the surgery himself, despite the stress and agony it causes him. After all, he considers Gaia a member of his family, and his children, aged four and six when the dog came home, have little memory of life without her. In short, it’s a busy time for the whole Kfoury family! We also learn more about Sébastien’s career and meet his father, Selim Kfoury, of Lebanese origin. Like his son, Selim, who came to Quebec around the age of 25, has a very strong artistic side: he makes a living teaching fine arts. However, Selim wanted to ensure that his son had a secure career, free from financial worries. That’s what Sébastien did when he became a vet, but his desire to be in the spotlight eventually caught up with him!
