Could your pet’s toys, bowls, or containers be quietly harming their health?
In this episode, I talk with Aidan Charron from EarthDay.org about the alarming findings in the Pets vs Plastics report—and what every pet parent needs to know. From cancer-linked chemicals to industry blind spots, this conversation sheds light on the hidden dangers of plastics in pet products and how you can protect the animals you love.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• What chemicals like BPA and phthalates are doing to your pets
• Why the pet product industry is largely unregulated when it comes to safety
• Practical steps you can take to reduce plastic exposure in your home

You’ll also learn how your purchasing power can influence positive change and how international efforts to reduce plastic waste could reshape the pet care industry.

P.S. You may hear us refer to the show as Starlight Pet Talk during this episode. That was our original name before we decided to embrace the fur, mess, and mayhem. Same content—just a name that fits better.
