About Doggijuana, a SmarterPaw Brand:
Doggijuana is a revolutionary new brand of dog toys. Dogs experience the world through their noses, and catnip is a natural way to encourage dogs to play. Our signature Juananip (all-natural and organic catnip) ups the attractor factor of toys and encourages dogs to play longer through scent. When eaten, Juananip produces a calming effect that helps dogs chill – naturally.

About VSI:
VSI was incorporated on February 6, 1960. This resulted from a relationship between Willis D. Woodward, DVM, and Donald W. Rosenberg, DVM, in a joint practice and with Frank G. Sweetman, a former Van Waters and Rogers sales representative. Over the years, VSI management saw various opportunities to expand into diverse areas. Today, the company that started as primarily a poultry distributor now offers a broad line of products to over 3000 customers. These include those in the beef, dairy, and poultry business, feed supply, and pet stores.
