THE 2020 presidential election has divided this country. Is it a good idea, then, to carry poop bags featuring the faces of candidate and President Donald Trump and candidate and former Vice-President Joe Biden? MetroPaws founders Jonathan and Megan Bolton think so!

“The idea is to encourage people to vote, to get people involved, to get people to get engaged,” Jonathan Bolton tells host Keith Miller in this episode of “Behind the Pages.”

Bolton and Miller offer stores advice on how to carry the Smear Campaign’s Democrap and Repooplican Poolitical bags without offending voters for either candidate. Bolton also shares how these bags came about and whether their sales are a predictor of who will win.

NASC Media Spotlight

At first it was just an idea: Animal supplements needed the same quality control that human-grade supplements receive. But that was enough to start a movement and an organization —the National Animal Supplement Council — that would be dedicated to establishing a comprehensive path forward for the animal supplements industry. In this Media Spotlight interview, NASC’s president, Bill Bookout, talks to PETS+ interviewer Chloe DiVita about the industry today: Where it’s headed, what’s the latest focus and why it’s vital to gain the involvement of independent pet product retailers.
