Dog Krazy, 5 Locations In Virginia

Piglet the English Bulldog inspired Nancy Guinn to open the first Dog Krazy location. Thirteen years later, she has opened five in total, with help from her husband Chris and their menagerie of pets: pig Jimmy Dean, bird Max, cat Ozzie, and dogs Stirfry Fatguy, Pork Wonton, Sushi and Tala. Nancy also finds time to consult with customers and fellow pet business owners alike on pet nutrition, in which she holds a 500-hour degree.

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.
