Ep. 218 - Good Days, Bad Days & the Hardest Goodbye (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Betsy's Lab, Phoebe, takes a concerning turn, raising the question every dog owner dreads: how do you know when it's time to say goodbye? This week, we talk about good days versus bad, the fear of waiting too long—or not long enough—and how to give your dog the best last day possible (yes, burgers are involved). Plus, a quick vaccine check-in and a 9/11 tribute to the remarkable dogs who helped save lives that day. A heavier episode, but an important one. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/
Ep. 217 - The Great Dog Food Debate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Raw, kibble, home-cooked, hydrolyzed — on this week's show, Ali and Betsy break down how to actually pick what to feed your dog, and what's worked (and hasn't) for their own pups. Plus, a tribute to Gloria Steinem. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
Ep. 216 - Who Do You Trust With Your Dog? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this week’s episode, Ali and Betsy unpack a horrifying board-and-train story—and why five-star reviews don’t always tell the truth. Plus, a preventable spay tragedy, surviving the heat, and a beautiful reminder from Huck of just how extraordinary dogs can be.

Ep. 215 - Senior Dogs, Fountain Rats, and a Famous New Pig Mom (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What do you do when your senior dog starts slowing down? Betsy shares what’s happening with Phoebe—and the complicated choices that come with caring for an aging dog. Then things get a little wild: Ali returns from Camp Harmony, a rat takes over her fountain, and a stray West Hollywood pig finds a very famous new mom: Diane Warren. Come for the dogs, stay for the chaos. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info
Ep. 214 - The Kindest Goodbye & The Dumb Things We Did as Teens (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rehoming a dog is heartbreaking—but sometimes it's exactly what's best for the dog. Betsy shares Bruce the Yellow Lab's rehoming journey, we celebrate the ASPCA's newest community veterinary clinic in Los Angeles, and explore why reducing barriers to veterinary care matters. Then, inspired by the upcoming premiere of The Shards , we relive the wild west of growing up in L.A. We stole street signs, jumped into strangers' cars, hid friends in our trunks, and somehow all lived to tell the tale. Com
