The Bark: A Pet Podcast Unleashed

04/09/2026

🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT 🚨

We've been pretty jazzed about this episode for awhile. We FINALLY sit down with a hunting dog owner to have an honest conversation about a topic that’s often misunderstood: how hunters actually treat their dogs.

There are a lot of assumptions out there, and we’re not afraid to address them head-on. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

This isn’t about defending bad behavior or ignoring real issues. It’s about getting the full picture and challenging the narratives that can divide people who ultimately care about animals.

And yes… Meaghan is still figuring out how to use a microphone. 🤦‍♀️ So thanks for sticking with us while the message gets louder and the audio gets better. 🎙️

Go listen and tell us: 👉 What did you assume about hunting dogs, and were you right?

🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT 🚨

We did it. We officially asked the question no one asked for…

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲… 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲? 😬

🎙️ In our latest episode of The Bark, we are NOT discussing policy. We are NOT discussing legislation. We are absolutely NOT being responsible.

Instead, we’re exposing:
🐶 The canine red flags we’ve been ignoring
🚩 Behaviors that would get someone instantly blocked if they were human
💔 Why bringing a puppy on a first date might actually be a relationship-ending decision
👀 And the slightly concerning stories from pet owners (including us) that probably require self-reflection

Is it cute… or is it a red flag? Should we be concerned? Are we the problem?

This episode is unhinged. It’s unserious. And even possibly evidence in a future trial.

Go listen and tell us: 👉 What crime would your dog be charged with?
