The Pet Parent Hotline | Calm The Chaos, Cut The Costs, and Love Life With Your Pets Again: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Amy Castro - Pet Parenting & Behavior Expert
If you’re a busy pet parent and your dog won’t stop barking, your cat is peeing everywhere, your house feels out of control, and you’re exhausted from wasting time and money trying to fix it, you’re in the right place. You got a pet to make life better, not to wreck your sleep, drain your bank account, and turn your home into a mess you’re embarrassed to let anyone see. You’ve tried trainers, followed your vet’s advice, and still find yourself up at 2 a.m. searching for answers. Most pet podcasts assume you have unlimited time, unlimited money, and a perfectly behaved pet. This one doesn’t. We’re not just another pet podcast, we’re a pet parent podcast, because the best care doesn’t start with the right food or the latest toy, it starts with you. Clearer decisions, calmer routines, fewer spirals, for you and your pets. I’m your host, Amy Castro, a longtime animal rescuer and trusted advisor to thousands of pet parents. After fost
