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 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 advice, tailored to your real life. So, this podcast brings you 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 into bite-sized, doable steps that actually 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.

    2025/08/10

    Thinking about adding another pet to your family? Before you give in to those puppy-dog eyes or kitten purrs, hit pause. Because while one more pet can be wonderful, it can also turn your home upside down if the timing or reason isn’t right.

    In this episode, I’m sharing 4 essential gut checks to help you decide if it’s truly the right time to expand your pack. After adopting out pets to thousands of families and taking in hundreds of owner surrenders, I’ll give you the honest questions no one else asks, but every pet parent needs to answer, before saying yes to another lifelong commitment.

    BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:
    • Why “what’s one more?” is a dangerous mindset for pet parents
    • How to tell if your current home environment is stable enough for another pet
    • The real cost, time, money, and energy of adding to your furry family
    • The one reason you should never adopt, no matter how cute that face is

    If you’ve ever wondered if you’re truly ready for “just one more,” this episode is your gut-check. Listen before you say yes, you and your pets will thank you.
