Muddy Paws and Hairballs

Real Talk and Expert Advice for Life with Pets!Welcome to Muddy Paws and Hairballs (formerly Starlight Pet Talk) – the podcast where real talk meets expert advice, all for the love of pets! Got a dog who thinks your couch is their throne? A cat who’s plotting world domination? A hamster with big dreams? No matter who you call your furry, feathery, or scaly roommate, this is the podcast that gets it. I’m Amy Castro, a lifelong animal advocate, professional speaker, pet industry trainer and writer, and President of Starlight Outreach and Rescue. I’ve fostered over 4,000 pets (yes, really!) and spent years in the trenches of animal care and rescue. This podcast is my way of bringing you the real side of life with pets—the good, the messy, and the hilarious. In each episode, we’ll tackle the challenges of pet parenting, share heartwarming success stories, and maybe even throw in a laugh or two (because life with pets is nothing if not entertaining). Whether you’re looking for practical tips, relatable stories, or just a reminder that you’re not alone in the chaos of pet life, you’re in the right place. So grab your favorite blanket (and maybe a lint roller) and let’s talk about how to live your best life with your pets—and help them live theirs, too. 🐾 Don’t forget to hit subscribe so you’re always one step ahead in the pet parenting game!Muddy Paws and Hairballs: Real Talk and Expert Advice for Life with Pets!
