Some stories are hard to tell… but important to share.

In this episode, I sit down with Lantz Tucker’s mom, Crystal, and discuss how to apply for help with your pet if you cannot afford a veterinarian bill for their care. Also, do you fall through the cracks? Not anymore! The Lantz Tucker Memorial Fund does not discriminate against people who make slightly too much to qualify for other grants at shelters or other organizations.

Crystal shares the story of the first pet that The Lantz Tucker Memorial Fund was able to help and the kismet of a rose tattoo ❤️

The Lantz Tucker Memorial Fund was created because of one simple but powerful question Lantz asked: “Why not?”Why can’t pet parents get help when they can’t afford veterinary care? Why should an animal suffer because someone doesn’t have enough money? Why should pet owners have to surrender their pets because they can't afford an expensive treatment? Please help and donate today to a worthy 501(c) (3) organization where 100% of the funds go to the care of people's pets.

Lantz may no longer be with us, but his compassion continues to change lives—both human and animal. ❤️

In this episode, I sit down with Lantz Tucker’s mom, Crystal, to talk about the life of her son and the love that continues to carry his legacy forward.

The Lantz Tucker Memorial Fund was created because of one simple but powerful question Lantz asked: “Why not?”
Why can’t pet parents get help when they can’t afford veterinary care? Why should an animal suffer because someone doesn’t have enough money? Why should pet owners have to surrender their pets because they can't afford an expensive treatment?

That question stayed with his mom—and today, because of that conversation she had with Lantz, this fund helps pet parents who just need a little help to save their animals.

Lantz may no longer be with us, but his compassion continues to change lives—both human and animal. ❤️

In today’s episode of The Dog Gone Positive Way, we dive into what it truly takes to run a successful show and how meaningful it is to have a loyal audience that supports the information Jon shares week after week — whether they’re tuning in to listen or calling in with a question for one of Jon's expert guests.

Jon, a longtime friend and the incredible host of Talkin’ Pets, joins me for an engaging conversation about animal cruelty laws and the impact the current administration has had on environmental and endangered animal protections — many of which have been rolled back.

It’s an honest, behind-the-scenes discussion you won’t want to miss.

This is a bonus episode of The Dog Gone Positive Way, and I am discussing a microchip company that suddenly went out of business without explanation, and what pet owners need to do to ensure their pet returns home when they get lost. Do you know if your pets' and microchip information is correct? Listen to the episode and check out the website, where you can enter your pet's microchip information and find out if you need to change anything or update any records. I hope you enjoy this bonus episode!

In this episode of The Dog Gone Positive Way, Jon Patch, the host of Talkin Pets, discusses how he got started in the media, going to school to become a veterinarian, only to pivot into a career in broadcasting, journalism, radio, scrubbing toilets in NYC and moving to FL where he rejuvenated and started hosting the nationwide and now worldwide pet show, Talkin Pets.

In this episode of The Dog Gone Positive Way, with Chrissy from @pittiehoarder, we go deeper into the fascinating world of dog body language. Exposure to appropriate play with dogs other than littermates is crucial, too. Chrissy talks about the important roles her dogs, Peach & Hunk, play in all the foster puppies' development, from nose boops to lessons on appropriate play and appropriate corrections; they cover it all.
