Muddy Paws and Hairballs
Muddy Paws and Hairballs is the no-fluff podcast for pet parents juggling chaos, cuddles, and the quest to live your best life—with your pets, not in spite of them. Host Amy Castro brings real talk, expert pet advice, behavior tips, and humor to help you lead with confidence, ditch the guilt, and raise healthy, happy pets without losing yourself in the process.
This show is for the real ones—those knee-deep in fur, vet bills, and “what the heck did you just eat?!” moments. The ones holding it all together while the dog humps guests and the cat redecorates with hairballs—who still want to do right by their animals without losing their sanity (or their favorite rug).
Hosted by longtime rescuer, speaker, and unapologetically honest pet advocate Amy Castro, each episode delivers the insight, support, and sarcasm you need to go from overwhelmed to in control. Whether you're choosing the right dog or cat for your lifestyle, managing behavior issues, navigating pet health decisions, or just trying to keep your shoes barf-free, this show helps you become the confident, capable leader your pet actually needs.
Because Muddy Paws and Hairballs is about more than fixing bad behavior—it’s about building a better life for you and your pets—mess and all.
🎧 New episodes every week.

Welcome to Muddy Paws and Hairballs, the no-fluff podcast that tells it like it is when it comes to life with pets.
I'm Amy Castro, your host—an animal rescue founder, former vet assistant, pet industry expert, and someone who's fostered more than 4,000 pets (and counting!). I've seen it all—pee on the carpet, chewed-up shoes, and plenty of heartwarming moments in between.
Whether you're wrangling a mischief-loving pup, a spicy cat, or a house full of animals, this podcast is for pet parents who embrace the chaos—and love their pets for who they really are.
Each week, we dig into the hilarious, heartwarming, and sometimes frustrating realities of pet ownership. You’ll hear expert advice from trainers, vets, and groomers, plus unfiltered stories from fellow pet lovers who’ve been in the trenches.
If you're tired of picture-perfect social media pets and want real talk about keeping your animals happy, healthy, and in your home for life, you've found your pack.
Hit play, and let’s get real about pets!
