Welcome to Muddy Paws and Hairballs, the no-fluff podcast that tells it like it is when it comes to life with pets.

I'm Amy Castro, your host—an animal rescue founder, former vet assistant, pet industry expert, and someone who's fostered more than 4,000 pets (and counting!). I've seen it all—pee on the carpet, chewed-up shoes, and plenty of heartwarming moments in between.

Whether you're wrangling a mischief-loving pup, a spicy cat, or a house full of animals, this podcast is for pet parents who embrace the chaos—and love their pets for who they really are.

Each week, we dig into the hilarious, heartwarming, and sometimes frustrating realities of pet ownership. You’ll hear expert advice from trainers, vets, and groomers, plus unfiltered stories from fellow pet lovers who’ve been in the trenches.

If you're tired of picture-perfect social media pets and want real talk about keeping your animals happy, healthy, and in your home for life, you've found your pack.

Hit play, and let’s get real about pets!
