Meet The On-Air Production Team
Every week Dr. Tracy Dewhirst and Producer Larsen Jay take calls and answer questions from pet owners across the country. Here you can meet the production team and their pets!
Host, Dr. Tracy Dewhirst
| Dr. Tracy Dewhirst, her husband David and 2 children Addie and Wilder share their 120 acre farm with 5 pets! Izabelle, a 9 year old indoor cat, was adopted from Young-Williams Animal Center and likes to lounge around in the house. Bruno, a 3 year old shepherd, and Kaia, a 6 year old Llewelyn Setter, love to run around the farm all day and play! Bruno was rescued from being euthanized at a clinic at 10 months of age. Skip is a 23 year old horse that quit his working days and is enjoying retirement. Penny, a 9 year old miniature horse, is the most recent addition to the Dewhirst family and has already formed a special bond with Skip. | ||

Producer/Co-Host, Larsen Jay
| Larsen Jay has three very unique pets. His two dogs are Jake & Waffles. You may notice that Waffles is our resident pet model in lots of photos with Dr. Dewhirst. Both Jake and Waffles are rescued dogs. Jake, a 6 year old purebred black Labrador, was adopted through the Labrador Retriever Rescue of East Tennessee, Inc. Waffles, a 5 year old chocolate Labrador mix, was found and rescued after she was run over by a construction truck in front of a Waffle House restaurant. After emergency surgery, medical treatment for every worm and parasite, and about twenty baths to remove road asphalt from her coat, she’s now happy and healthy! Larsen’s horse Liverpool is a 13 year old Warmblood Liver Chestnut (15 hands tall) that jumps in horse show competitions all over the east coast, with Larsen’s wife Adrian at the controls. | ||

Production Assistant, Crystal Bell
| Crystal recently rescued Izzy, a 1 year old grey and white cat from Young-Williams Animal Center. Izzy captured Crystal’s heart from the very first visit to the center with her playful nature. This frisky feline still acts like a kitten and keeps Crystal entertained with her love for window blinds, rolling toys, and her latest obsession, the kitchen rug! | ||
