When customers say, “My dog (or cat) eats better than I do!” Highly doubtful. If you spend less than $200 a month on your pet’s diet, I challenge you to do the same for yourself! And also … so what?

You owe it to them.

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.
