Hey there!
In this episode, you’ll hear us refer to the show as Starlight Pet Talk—that’s what we called it before fully embracing the fur, mess, and mayhem. Don’t worry, you’re in the right place for Muddy Paws and Hairballs—same great content, just with a name that fits! - Amy

Join us for a vital conversation with Jonathan Wainberg, Senior VP of Synchrony Financial Service’s Pet Business, as we tackle the rising costs of pet care and how to manage them effectively.
