Background
editThe format of each episode is divided between segments discussed by the hosts and their guests. Segments include "hero dogs" and "dog tech." Originally, the show featured a segment called "Mutt Minute" wherein a host is assigned the task of educating the audience on a dog breed in under a minute.[3] Starting in episode 143,[4] this segment is replaced with "My Mutt Minute", where listeners submit a one-minute voice recording about their own dogs.
The show had Lesli Margherita on as a guest to discuss Pit Bull awareness month.[5]
The show has done live episodes.[6]

"a burst of pure delight" and "too cute".[8] Shaheena Uddin wrote in The Guardian that the show "boasts and impressive lineup of guests."[9] In The A.V. Club, Brianna Wellen commented on an episode calling it "a heart-wrenching reminder of why we love our pets so much".[10]
