In 1997, with the popularity of the NBC series ER on the rise, the cable network Animal Planet approached Taylor about doing a reality series based on emergency care for animals, much like AP's sister network TLC (TV channel) was doing with its new ER-based reality show Trauma: Life in the E.R. Taylor agreed, and Emergency Vets debuted in 1998.
