Wonderful supplement to the other We Rate Dogs content (Facebook/Instagram)
Matt brings a great energy to the podcast, I love the “adoptable” special guests, and Jess is a fun cohost.
I appreciate how Matt uses this platform to address how issues facing dogs fit into the larger context of human rights. Keep on keeping on!
Amazing show love the theme song
This podcast is giving me the wholesomeness I desperately need while the country is being corrupted into the ground. I’m grateful to Matt. Also am a big fan of the whole “Tell your dog I said hi” thing he invented as well as his philanthropy. Great work!!!
Great show, but would love to see video now that that’s a feature.
Great humans who care about people’s rights and the same for dogs and, for that matter, all beings. They are on the right side.

The tone is warm, humorous, and optimistic, with a strong emphasis on adoption, rescue, and humane treatment of dogs. A standout trait is the consistent integration of real-world welfare topics (courthouse dogs, guide dogs, tripawds) alongside playful, creator-driven segments that turn dogs into memorable narratives or game concepts. This mix makes it appealing to dog owners, rescue supporters, and fans of light but meaningfu... more
