This week on Pets Add Life, Kristen and Chris bring you two incredible guests who are making a huge impact in the pet world—through humor, storytelling, and community events! First, Walter "Skinni Go Live" Brown, a registered veterinary technician, social media influencer, and comedian, joins us to talk about his viral content that blends veterinary education with humor. Walter shares how he’s making vet medicine more accessible, his passion for mentorship, and what life is like with his impressive collection of exotic pets (hint: he has 30 tarantulas). Then, we head to Charleston, SC with Brian Foster, publisher of Lowcountry Dog Magazine and the mastermind behind Woofstock, a dog-friendly music festival bringing together pet lovers, live bands, and adoption events. Brian shares what’s in store for Woofstock 2025, how Charleston became one of the most dog-friendly cities, and the incredible ways his publication supports rescue efforts across the Carolinas. And, as always, we wrap up with two awesome pet products and answer listener questions about agility training, cat scratching, and planning the ultimate dog birthday party!

Marco from Seattle, WA: "My cat, Felix, scratches a lot, and my arms are covered in little marks! I know he doesn’t mean to, but is there a way to train him to be gentler?
