What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

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!

TargetRPh · Jun 2026

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!!!
