Six-year-old Labrador Nugget is referred to the hospital by his local vet when they find a mass on his right kidney. He needs specialist tests. Walter, his 87-year-old owner, took on Nugget when his previous owner, Walter's daughter, died. Walter is worried that it could be cancer, and he may lose him too.
In the hydrotherapy department, they're dealing with one of their most challenging cases, Pepper, a French bulldog who is learning to walk again after surgery to fix her collapsed spine. Devoted owners Toni and Lucy are prepared to sacrifice everything to see Pepper back on her feet.
The pet hospital is also holding its first ever open day, but just as the first visitors are arriving, they have an emergency to deal with.
