Why We’re Hitting Pause (But Not for Long!)

If you’ve noticed things have been a little quiet on the new episode front lately, you’re not imagining it. We're pressing pause on new releases for just a bit, but don’t worry, we’re not going anywhere.

When we rebranded from Starlight Pet Talk to Muddy Paws and Hairballs, we said the content was going to change. But truth? We mostly gave the show a makeover and hoped that would be enough. It wasn’t. The real struggles pet lovers face—behavior problems, decision fatigue, budget stress, and just trying to live a normal life with animals in the mix—deserve more than surface-level fixes.

So we’re stepping back, not to disappear, but to do what we should’ve done the first time: rebuild this show into the go-to place for honest talk and real solutions. The kind that help you stop choosing between your peace of mind and your pets.

🎉 Mark your calendar for August 10!
That’s when we’ll drop several new episodes all at once and officially kick off the show's next chapter. We’re talking updated segments, even better expert advice, more real talk, and stories that’ll make you laugh, cry, and maybe yell “SAME” at your car speakers.

Our mission hasn’t changed; we’re still here to help you live your best life with your pets, not despite them. But we’re making things clearer, sharper, and (let’s be honest) more fun for all of us.

In the meantime, it’s the perfect chance to catch up on any episodes you’ve missed or re-listen to your favorites. You might hear something you missed the first time. (Like that time we talked about dog anxiety and accidentally spiraled into whether pets should have emotional support humans. Oops.)

Thanks for being part of this community. We appreciate you more than you know, and can’t wait to show you what’s next!
