In this heartfelt episode of The Courageous Canine Podcast, host Michael Pickens sits down with Tabitha Newell, a resilient dog mom, podcast host, and founder of RU & Crew Nutrition. After a shocking MS diagnosis and the sudden loss of her beloved Frenchie, Rupert, to an aggressive form of cancer, Tabitha turned her heartbreak into a mission. She shares how Rupert’s passing inspired her to dive deep into both human and canine wellness, launch a supplement line, and advocate for prevention through education and holistic care.
We explore:
-Her journey from thriving CrossFit junkie to chronic illness warrior.
-The tragic and rapid decline of Rupert—and what she wishes she knew sooner.
-The overlooked dangers of tap water, synthetic supplements, and poor breeding practices.
-What it’s really like raising a paralyzed rescue dog.
-French Bulldog pros, cons, and why they’re not for the faint of heart.
It’s a moving, empowering conversation full of laughter, tears, and takeaways every dog parent should hear.
