Q3 Newsletter I October 2019
It's been a busy quarter. We launched our new corporate name with the same commitment to organic wellness & grooming that's USA made, and successfully debuted 10 new task-specific products at Superzoo in our new catalog that included: Itch Relief Shampoo , 2-In-1 Grain Free Shampoo and Conditioner and Stain & Odor Eliminator spray that's endorsed by the Rug & Carpet Institute , to name a few.

We've seen many of you at Superzoo, Groom Expo, and the Frontier and Anipet Distributor Shows....and there's still one more to go, as we'll also be at the Zeigler's Distributor Show.

Thank you for helping us grow and thank you for your patience as we evolve our brand.

Sincerely,
Beth Sommers,
President & Chief Merchandising Officer

Shed Control can be a huge problem. You've been asking for a natural solution - and we delivered! Our award-winning Sweet Orange and Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner has omega fatty acids to moisturize and improve skin and freshen your dogs coat.

This powerful duo reduces excess shedding and will not affect flea & tick treatments. It smell like a tropical dream and works wonders with loosening the undercoat. This is a must have for any pet owner that struggles with shed control and finding natural solution.
 
In the News
We were thrilled to participate in live radio intercepts with Capital One at Superzoo discussing how we're different and promoting USDA Certified Organic products that are USA Made.

Going into the show, there was also a wonderful article in Pet Age focusing on " Women in the Industry Who are Pushing Barriers." We are proud to have our President, Beth Sommers in this group of women who are shaping our industry.

New to our team is Rorie Gerschwer, who has 20 years of experience in establishing start-up operations. She will be tasked with overseeing day-to-day operations and streamlining processes at Pure and Natural Pet as our Chief Administrative Officer. Read more about Rorie in Pet Product News.

Adopt Batman a 4 year old hybrid of handsomeness in a stout 60-lb body, with ears constantly on alert (we assume for the Bat signal illuminating the sky) and an endless curiosity about life. He loves people-watching and already knows a few commands because obviously he’s super smart and is a SUPER HERO.
Adopt Duchess she's truly one of the prettiest bulldog mixes we’ve ever seen (her perpetual “smoky eye” is laudatory) and she absolutely adores her person, as well as playing with dogs her own size. She’s leash-trained, potty-trained, and crate-trained and she has been professionally trained and has mad skills. 
Adopt Eliza is a hearty, muscly brindle girl and she LOVES being active on hikes and runs and can go for miles, as she’s a young gal at only 2.5 years old. Eliza would make a fabulous family member (kids over 6 years of age. She's currently in training with our inmate trainers at Lancaster State Prison, she’s learning how to be even more wonderful.
