It's been a busy and exciting few months of trade shows; from table top ECRM and Pet Shop Events to the ever growing SuperZoo at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. It was great to reconnect in person with so many familiar faces and also meet new customers who are focusing on organic pet wellness.
We were ecstatic to receive the Top Grooming Award at Superzoo. It was an honor since it’s voted on by retailers and our peers. We’ve worked really hard developing our new offerings which included retailer requests such as our Flea & Tick Natural Dog Shampoo. This award is a testament that our products are resonating with the retailers and groomers. It’s been a fantastic year filled with
incredible growth and product recognition. This is all backed by our passionate team and our strong focus on organic pet wellness.
We've grown domestically and are please to add Norway into our growth Internationally.
We've recently revamped our website to include even more educational content with a BIG focus on ingredients. We want you and
YOUR
customers to understand the importance of what's in your products - because it matters.
Sincerely,

"When my teacher started teaching us advertising and then tied it to persuasive writing to help our local animal shelter, I was excited because it wasn't a boring essay. I personally love animals, and have 2 dogs and cats. I love animals and don't know what I'd do without them."
