Kitties can’t help but be attracted to The Cat Magnet, aka Rosie Libero. Even the most fearful find themselves rubbing her legs or jumping into her lap. She credits her superpower: patience.

“I never force a cat (or any other pets) to interact with me. I allow them to approach me on their terms,” the pet care provider says, adding that with anxious pets, “Acceptance is theirs to give, not ours to take, and I fully understand and respect that.”

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.
