THIS MONTH’S QUESTION: DO YOU HAVE A STAFF REFRIGERATOR?

Yes: 79%

The person who steals other people’s food, they should be poisoned! Connie Roller, The Feed Bag Pet Supply, Grafton, WI
Let’s just say it is not uncommon to find several petri dishes of lunches gone bad. Frank Frattini, The Hungry Puppy, Farmingdale, NJ
We have two refrigerators in the back of one of my stores. The one that’s in my personal office is constantly blocked with pallets of food. I think my staff doesn’t want me to eat. Maybe a subtle approach to let me know I should be on a weight management kibble, too? Nancy Quinn, Dog Krazy, Fredericksburg, VA
I am the worst at putting things in there and then forgetting them. Heidi Neal, Loyal Biscuit, Rockland, ME
We clean out the fridge every 10 days or so. If it’s still there on clean out day, it’s trashed. Eric Mack, Purrrfect Bark Market, Columbus, NC
Let’s just say we have someone on staff who seems to be obsessed with salad dressing. Nadine Johnson-Barthel, Bentley’s Pet Stuff, Milwaukee WI

No: 31%

We close at 1 p.m. in order to leave the barking, hair and smells to eat lunch out every day! Lolanda Moreno, Canine Creations, Farmers Branch , TX

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.
