TUSKEGEE, AL (WSFA) - Three Tuskegee University grads are going to be living life on TV this Summer.

The three grads will be part of the new Animal Planet TV series "The Vet Life", which will premiere on June 4 at 8 p.m.

The show follows veterinarians Dr. Diarra Blue, Dr. Aubrey Ross and Dr. Michael Lavigne, balancing their newly-opened animal hospital with family life.

According to an Animal Planet press release, the doctors have been friends since attending Tuskegee University's College of Veterinary Medicine. They began their careers in Las Vegas, before they decided to open their Texas-based practice Cy-Fair Animal Hospital in 2015.

The series captures the doctor's lives as they juggle running a new business while managing their family life filled with spouses, parents, in-laws, children, pets and friends, as well as their intense moments saving the lives of animals at their clinic, the Animal Planet website states.

A campus viewing of the new series is scheduled for June 2 at Tuskegee University.
