While Ricks did not expound on Potch’s cause of death, the celebrity mom shared in February 2024 that Potchi had become blind and deaf.
“It’s heartbreaking to know he can’t see us and hear us, but we’re making sure he knows we’re here and we will take care of him,” she said at the time. “It’s never easy taking care of a senior dog but we got this.”
Ricks and her family celebrated Potchi’s 16th birthday last December.
