Taking care of animals is absolutely rewarding, but it's not easy. It requires time and dedication, and more importantly, knowing how to handle an unfamiliar one without being scared. For those who pursue their love for animals and choose to be veterinarians, the responsibility is far greater. After all, how else does one take care of an animal without being able to communicate, all while trying to gain their trust?

The challenge is twice as hard for Dr Michelle Oakley. She doesn't exactly fall under that category of domesticating the animals; she's in charge of all the wild residents of the massive Yukon. Be it bears, bison or wolverines, there's nothing Dr Oakley hasn't treated over the years. Now, with Season 9 of 'Dr Oakley, Yukon Vet' premiering soon, she's all set to do what she does best —help animals.

And, no one is tougher than Dr Michelle Oakley, the only all-species vet in the area. This season sees Dr Oakley back in action, doing what she does best, helping animals, both wild and domestic.

As per the official Nat Geo website: 'Meet Dr. Michelle Oakley, vet to pretty much everything that moves in the Yukon, making house calls across thousands of square miles, helping animals wild and domestic. Accompanied by her teenage daughters and armed with humor as sharp as a scalpel, Dr Oakley deftly juggles being a full-time vet, wife, and mother, while taking us across some of the most rugged and remote landscapes in the world.'
