Last fall we helped our local police department raise money to launch a K9 unit. We sold T-shirts and dog toys, held raffles, and we coordinated multiple fundraisers at several businesses downtown. The department was able to get two narcotics-trained dogs and training for their handlers. They just hit the streets and have already made a huge impact, not only in getting drugs off our streets, but in keeping our officers safe — when you have a K9 officer, there is more compliance! — Shari Wilkins, Lake Dog and Their People, Eufaula, OK

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.
