Candace D’Agnolo chatted with Jungle Bob for our ‘Beyond the Pages’ webinar.

Catch the replay of the first Pets+ “Beyond the Pages” webinar, hosted by Candace D’Agnolo of Pet Boss Nation. Our first episode, which was conducted on Aug. 30, features a fascinating in-depth interview with the winner of Pets+ inaugural “America’s Coolest Pet Stores” contest, “Jungle Bob” Smith of Jungle Bob’s Reptile World in Selden, NY.

Candace and “Jungle Bob” go in-depth on Smith’s career — including how, in the span of eight years, he went from an avid private reptile collector to one of the country’s most innovative pet retailers, with two stores and his own growing brand of private-label products. Smith also shares some of the philosophies that make his business stand out from the crowd.

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.
