A WIPE AND A spritz might keep a wire-haired terrier fresh, but a long-haired dachshund needs a little more attention when it comes to grooming. Give your customers easy entry points to brushing, shaping and styling with grooming gloves, deshedding brushes and specialty combs. You can stock a few pro-grade tools, too, for your in-store groom needs and your especially hands-on dog owners.

Low Key

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.
