You thought a pet would be the perfect addition to your life. Instead, your bank account’s drained, your dog won’t stop barking, your cat’s peeing everywhere, and your house is such a disaster you can’t have friends over. You’ve shelled out for trainers and followed your vet’s advice, and you’re still up at 2 a.m. scrolling for answers and wondering how long you can keep trying to meet your pet’s needs while ignoring your own.
Many pet podcasts dish out pet care advice like you’ve got endless time, money, and a perfectly behaved golden retriever straight out of a Disney movie. This one doesn’t. It’s for real pet parents who love their pets and need help managing the behavior, the budget, and the mayhem without losing their minds or giving up on their pets.
I’m your host, Amy Castro, pet industry pro, animal rescuer, and trusted advisor to thousands of pet parents who’ve been exactly where you are.
After personally fostering more than 4,000 pets and helping their pet parents go from overwhelmed to capable and confident, I’ve learned one thing: you’re not a bad pet parent; you just haven’t gotten the right pet care advice, tailored to your real life. So, this podcast brings you pet parent education with no-fluff tools, real talk, and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments to help you feel seen, supported, and back in control of your life – and your pets.
Every week, I’ll answer your pet care questions and break down expert advice on everything from dog training mistakes and cat litter box problems to pet cost hacks for saving money at the vet and at the pet store on pet food and pet supplies. You'll walk away with bite-sized, doable steps that really work for your budget, your schedule, and your perfectly imperfect pets.
So you can stop chasing your tail . . . and finally, enjoy your pets and your life again.
