Aloha Vet was an American factual television series that follows the late Dr. Scott Sims as he traveled Hawaii in the course of his veterinary career.[1] Sims was in talks for a second season when he was diagnosed with bladder cancer, which he died of two months later on July 25, 2015.[2][3]
Synopsis
Scott Sims DVM, was a large and small animal veterinarian in Kauai, Hawaii, who owned and operated the Pegasus Veterinary Clinic from his Kauai estate. He traveled by specially fitted out Lexus suv, ATV, horseback, or in his from-a-kit, home-built, single-engine, single-prop plane to visit sick and injured animals of all kinds on multiple Hawaiian Islands, including his home island of Kauai, Oahu, Maui, Molokai, and the Island of Hawaii (also known as the The Big Island of Hawaii).[2][4][5]
Development
The idea for the series was presented to Sims by the show's production company, Shine America, after Sims appeared in a segment of a reality show featuring professional surfer Laird Hamilton.[5] Eden Gaha and Mike Aho co-produced the series for Shine America as part of their expansion into the factual television genre.[6]
