Post Superzoo we've had a lot of exciting changes. We've added U.S. and International Distribution, most notably with
adding Taiwan
to the Pura Naturals Pet family.
We've continued with
website improvements to enhance the user experience and features to aid our retailers, their staff and customers.
Pura Naturals Pet is proud to be part of the Organic Trade Association and actively support legislation that furthers the organic industry.
Congress is currently in the midst of negotiating a final farm bill and organic research funding
. This bill is vitally important as there have been many product recalls due to toxic pesticides. Please let them know your business supports
permanent organic funding by
Signing the Bill Here
.
When we work together, it benefits our industry and the safety of our family & family pets.
Sincerely,

Paws for Life
T
he Paws for Life program has aided 2 more Veterans in leading an easier life. The highly recognized Paws for Life program is different than other prison or service dog programs. Typical service dog programs breed and raise puppies as a service dog and other prison programs are not at a maximum state prison. Paws for Life gives a second chance and changes the lives of the dogs, inmates and ultimately U.S. Veteran's suffering from PTSD.
Canines are pulled from high kill shelters and placed in maximum state prisons.Inmates train canines up to 70+ specific commands and are then gifted to a U.S. Veteran. This program was recently featured on NPR's Dog Talk. Listen to the inspiring
interview here
