Tiny-home trend is taking hold at a Texas animal shelter.

Austin Pets Alive! is building cottages that “will double as comfortable and quiet housing for the most in-need dogs and workspaces for staff and volunteers,” according to a post on its Facebook page.

“The cottages will each have their own yard and be outfitted with dog-friendly seating and work spaces, as well as heat and a/c,” according to the post.

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.
