Candace D'Agnolo PETS+ September 2018 Issue

CATCH THE REPLAY of this PETS+ webinar hosted by Candace D’Agnolo of Pet Boss Nation.

Have you always been in the pet business? Or, like most people, did you have a number of jobs — or even an entire career — before finding your way into the pets industry?

This episode of PETS+ Live! featured current pet business entrepreneurs whose experience ranges from NFL player to Apple marketing exec. Participating were Adrian Archie of PetNMind, Terri Ellen of Nature’s Pet Market and Sunny Paws Grooming, Tammi Bui of Wishbone Pet Care and Keefer Dickerson of Nashville Pet Products.

The discussion revolved around how they leveraged their past successes — and failures — to create profitable pet businesses.

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.
