About the show

Me and my Fuzzybutts have backpacked thousands of miles and met a whole cast of cool and curious characters. As the founder of The Puppy Up Foundation and Fuzzbutt Studios and the father of 5 Infamous Fuzzybutts, 3 of which I've lost to cancer, we'll talk to guests that relate to our travels and inevitably to dogs.

S3 Episode 21: The Passing of Indiana Jones. We'll be back soon!

Hey everyone we apologize for the radio silence this past month but if you've been following either me or Ginger or social media well you know Indiana Jones was given rest June 13th and it was a tough and tragic loss. The past 6 months have been hard. As a memorial to my son I'm camping out in Austin for 47 days to do art and comedy through which I hope to heal. Ginger and I are going to try to do a few podcasts when I can but we just wanted you to know we're still here and should return to our weekly drops mid September.Puppy up and talk soon! And thanks for all of the love and support - Yer Big DogPostscript: Disclaimer - if you want to watch a grown Big Dog cry, well this is your episode. Sorry but even after a month I'm still so busted up.

S3 Episode 20: Tractive with Andrew Bleiman

When Indiana and Yer Big Dog walked the length of the west coast on the PCH we were sponsored by a startup company that made a GPS tracking system for dogs. Unfortunately it didn't really work but I always knew a company would perfect the technology. Andrew Bleiman joins us for this episode to present Tractive, a cutting edge technology that tracks your pet's location, health and activity in real time! And it's for dogs and cats! They have over a million users and Tractive is collecting tons of critical data. Although YBD hasn't road tested Tractive yet, it's an exciting, promising new tool for pet parents!

We're excited to have one of the most esteemed and accomplished veterinary oncologists on our podcast this week. Doug Thamm is a professor and researcher at the Flint Animal Cancer Center at Colorado State University and the head of countless studies on novel cancer therapeutics. It's a good thing Ginger couldn't join us for this episode so Dr. Thamm and Yer Big Dog could nerd out and we cover a wide berth of topics. Including a lengthy discussion about the ongoing development of a universal cancer vaccine! --------Thanks to our sponsor for this episode: Genie's therapeutics #FuzzybuttsandFriends #fuzzybutts #lukerobinson #yerbigdog #dougthamm #CSU #FlintAnimalCancerCenter #caninecancer #universalcancervaccine #puppyup #dogcancer #cmpanionanimals

S3 Episode 17: Brett Simon, Service Dogs 4 Vets

Yer Big Dog has always said we need more dudes doing great things for dogs! A few weeks ago I met Brett Simon by virtue of our work for Fetch Petcare. His mom didn't let him have a dog when he was a kid so the first job he signed up for was as a K9 officer and that changed his life. Brett then worked on a military service dog program in Iraq after which he founded K9 for Warriors which has placed over a thousand service dogs with wounded veterans. Brett then founded Service Dogs 4 Vets, a consortium of 19 organizations that sets high standards for its members. And he works with Fetch Petcare which is how I came to know him. It's a dudes that help dogs episode! https://servicedogs4vets.org/https://fetchpetcare.com/And our sponsor for this episode - https://geniestherapeutics.com/--------#Fuzzybutts #lukerobinson #yerbigdog #gingermorgan #BrettSimon #ServiceDogs4Vets #servicedogs #K9sforwarriors #Fetchpetcare #Fetch #belgianmalinois #caninecancer #puppyup

S3 Episode 15: Dr Craig Clifford

Our good friend and veterinary oncologist extraordinaire stopped by to talk about new and exciting tools to beat cancer in our canine companions! But before we talk data and exciting tech, Craig shares a wonderful story about his family and fuzzybutts. It's a powerful and poignant example of the bond between companion animals and their human mates! Our main focus for the conversation in this episode is a promising drug that's still under conditional approval for canine lymphoma but the data points for Laverdia are exciting!

S3 Episode 12: Dr Pamela Jones, QBiotics

In this episode we introduce another tool in the increasingly growing box of new therapeutics for treating cancer in your canine companions! This one, Stelfonta, targets specifically Mast Cell Tumors (MCT) although its plant based small molecule compound may hopefully become a platform technology for treating other types of cancer. Dr. Pamela Jones, Chief Veterinary Officer of QBiotics, joins us to discuss Stelfonta, a relatively new drug that has demonstrated a success rate in treating MCT almost as high as surgery. Given that MCT is one of the most common cancers in dogs, this episode is a must listen!
