Description: This week on In The Vet’s Office, Dr. Josie Horchak steps out of the clinic and into the home of Lauren Akins—author, philanthropist, and wife of country star Thomas Rhett—for a heartwarming conversation about life with kids and animals. Lauren opens up about juggling motherhood with four little ones, two dogs (Kona and Cash), barn cats, and a spirited mustang. Lauren shares how her dog Cash became her constant companion during pregnancy—and how a freak accident with a pumpkin stem nearly cost him his life. She also reflects on her journey into horse ownership, including the injury that came with it, and the lasting impact a traumatic dog park incident had on her pup Kona. It’s a touching, candid episode filled with stories about the unbreakable bond between animals and their humans—and the wild things that happen when you open your heart (and home) to a full house of furry friends.
