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.
