Ever wonder if your pet’s behavior problems could be solved with a toy?

Most pet parents don’t realize that play and enrichment aren’t just fun extras—they’re essential to your pet’s mental and emotional health. When pets don’t get enough stimulation, they act out, get stressed, or even end up surrendered to shelters.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How play impacts your pet’s brain and behavior
• The surprising link between toy selection and fewer training issues
• Simple ways to prevent boredom-related behavior problems before they start

If you want a happier, healthier pet (and fewer messes to clean up), this episode is for you.

P.S. You may hear us refer to the show as Starlight Pet Talk in this episode. That was our original name. Don’t worry, you’re in the right place.
