Kathryn Hurley: Everything You Need to Know About Adopting A Pet

In this episode of In The Vet’s Office, Kathryn Hurley (founder of Wags & Walks Nashville Animal Rescue) stops by with her dog Jax. Kathryn and Dr. Josie talk through everything you need to know about adopting a pet. Kathryn breaks down the ‘3-3-3’ rule – what to expect 3 days, 3 weeks, and 3 months after bringing a rescue pet home. Dr. Josie and Kathryn address misconceptions about why animals end up in shelters, talk about if pit bulls deserve the bad rap they get and more. In the intro to Kathryn's interview, Dr. Josie also sits down with her co-host, radio personality Shannon Ella, to dive into the Case of the Week – a routine procedure expressing a King Charles Cavalier’s an*l glands going VERY wrong! A listener calls in to ask for feedback on his dog eating grass, and Dr. Josie’s answer may surprise you! After the interview, Dr. Josie and Shannon wrap up the episode with PAW & ORDER where Dr. Josie details things she’d never do with her own pets including leaving small dogs/cats unattended outside, making them a prime target for predators.
