Reality show The Animal Files goes behind the scenes at New Zealand's only vet school: Massey University's Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Palmerston North. Students join experienced staff in treating a wide variety of animals, from family pets and farm dogs to more unusual and demanding cases, such as a Sumatran tiger needing a root canal and a hawk with a broken wing.
