In this episode, he also shares the benefits of having pursued an international career within Mars Petcare, and tells us why he's picked retail media as a shiny new object.

Senior Research Manager at the Waltham Petcare Science Institute, Mars Petcare, Dr. Tammie King answers the question, "What is the importance of understanding the human-animal bond to a successful pet industry?"

Mi3’s most read story of 2024 came via an Oxford University marketing scientist’s peer-reviewed paper underlining precisely why not all reach is equal. Based off analysis of 1,000-plus campaigns and a million customer journeys via Kantar and Wavemaker, the data shows optimising for reach alone rarely tallies with business growth. In fact, in almost all cases, per Saïd Business School Associate Professor Felipe Thomaz, it delivers “really mediocre outcomes”. That’s the collective market failure News Australia aims to address – at least the start of it, with ‘Engaged Reach’, which counters the current industry bias for chasing fleeting user volumes for shallow scale. News Australia’s Lou Barrett, Dean La Rosa and Jess Gilby unpack how it’s already working for Mars Petcare, Chemist Warehouse, Inspiring Vacations and Subway, the latter a benchmark win for the publisher in QSR after Subway’s CMO said News Australia’s custom-built, integrated program outplayed the big tech platforms and landed the entire Subway initiative. The “all assets” rollout rapidly notched 3 per cent sales growth after a single campaign for Subway. The trio also underline why News Australia’s partnership with free streaming service Tubi – Barrett aims to rapidly double its monthly audience towards 3 million – means it can map buyer intent signals from the content audiences are reading to the shows they are watching. Plus tell advertisers where their best targets can be found around the clock, what they are interested in and how to engage them to maximise results.News Australia feeds circa 2.5 billion monthly intent signals into its CDP, enabling marketers to target audiences across 7,000 segments, using AI to hit sweet spots that might not be immediately obvious, per La Rosa. “It will forecast, it will understand the size, the scale, the relevance.” As Gilby underlines: “Everyone's got data, but it's about how you use it, how you apply it, and how you can be creative with it … We’re going from efficiently reaching audiences to effectively engaging them.” Somewhere in Oxford, a professor will be nodding in agreement.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, I have the privilege of engaging in a fascinating and eye-opening conversation with Dr. Judy Morgan, a renowned figure in the field of veterinary care.  As a certified veterinary acupuncturist, chiropractic owner, and food therapist, Dr. Morgan's expertise extends way beyond traditional allopathic medicine. Although she retired from clinical practice in 2020, her dedication to promoting exceptional veterinary care remains unwavering, both within the United States and abroad.  In our discussion, we dive into the factors contributing to the declining health of our beloved pets, such as the alarming obesity rates affecting 60% of pets in the United States. We also explore the flaws within the pet food industry, including the significant influence of Mars Petcare, a conglomerate that has acquired a substantial portion of the processed food industry.  Our conversation covers a myriad of topics, ranging from the distinctions between rendered and food-grade meat to the complexities surrounding grain-free diets. We touch on the contentious subject of vaccines, explain how to navigate between core and non-core vaccinations, and discuss specific concerns, such as lipomas, tooth care, exercise, and grooming. We also explore the best approaches to selecting flea and tick preventatives and the potential health implications of chemicals and plastics on our pets.  As someone who once contemplated a career in veterinary medicine, it was a true delight to interview Dr. Morgan- especially considering my allergies prevented me from pursuing that path! I encourage you to explore her insightful books and online resources because I am confident you will find them invaluable. Join me in this enlightening discussion that will undoubtedly shed light on essential aspects of pet care and welfare! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Why the health of our animals is declining.

In the previous episode of Petworking, Daryl Hatton and I delved into the difficult topic of financial euthanasia and its role in the increasing compassion fatigue among veterinarians. We highlighted the alarming mental health crisis in the veterinary field, underscored by a high suicide rate and the startling statistic from Royal Canin that 70% of veterinarians have known a colleague or peer who died by suicide. Mars Petcare's projection of a 41,000 veterinarian shortage in the U.S. by 2030 due to burnout and exit from the profession paints a grim picture. This week, we shift focus to another significant challenge in veterinary medicine: non-compete agreements. Joining us is Paul Diaz, founder of Offer First, and my college friend and legal expert, Henry Whitehead. They bring a blend of personal experience and legal insight into the impacts of non-competes on veterinarians' careers and mental health. Our discussion covers the legal nuances, emotional toll, economic consequences, and ethical considerations of these agreements, especially in light of the FTC's anticipated vote on banning such clauses in employment agreements by 2024. With Henry's legal expertise, we discussed the following aspects of non-compete agreements, both in the veterinary profession, and in general. Why the enforceability of non-compete agreements is highly dependent on state law and specific circumstances Employer motivation for utilizing non-compete agreements, and alternative methods for protecting business interests while ensuring better care for animals and improved working conditions for veterinarians The emotional health impacts on those subjected to non-compete agreements and the potential for limiting career mobility The economic impacts of non-compete agreements, specifically with respect to depressing veterinary wages The financial risk associated with defending against a non-compete lawsuit, and why it's generally more cost-effective to hire a lawyer for front-end contract negotiation. Non-competes might not always be enforceable, but the risk and expense of defending against them can be significant The relationship between the projected shortage of veterinarians and the use of non-compete agreements. At a time when pet parents' access to veterinary care is severely limited, is it ethical to limit veterinarians' ability to practice for the sake of preserving business interests? Why some leading veterinary businesses have abandoned the use of non-competes, and whether we could see this model replicated in the near future, not withstanding the fact that the FTC is expected to vote on a rule to ban non-compete clauses in employment agreements in April 2024

SuperZoo has become an annual August tradition for me. Despite the fact that it tends to coincide with my birthday, I love the networking and trendspotting, the chance to see new product launches, to meet new people, and reconnect with old friends. And as each year passes, the number of people I'm reconnecting with at SuperZoo continues to grow. This year was special for me, as it represented the first time I'd attended SuperZoo since launching Petworking in April. I have to say, I was humbled by the positive response I received from nearly everyone at the show. I wanted to post a compilation of the highlights and conversations that I managed to record during the show. In this week's episode of Petworking, you can check out: At SuperZoo 2023, manufacturers such as Instinct, Primal Pet Foods, and Stella & Chewy's talking about the benefits of adding even 20% of raw, freeze-dried, or gently cooked foods to your pet's diet.I spoke with Dr. James Templeman, Director of Nutrition at Primal Pet Foods , and he noted that the nutritional differences between raw, freeze-dried, or gently-cooked are minuscule. Dr. Templeman will be joining me on an upcoming episode, where we'll get into a deeper discussion of pet nutrition, and how these foods can benefit your pet. Mars Petcare unveiled a line extension for Greenies, which expanded into the pet nutrition space, with the launch of a dry food in 5 SKUs, along with 4 formulations of toppers. One of the launches I was most excited about at SuperZoo was Naavi Pet, a slow-roasted food option that seeks to combine the convenience of freeze-dried raw with the visual appeal of fresh/gently-cooked diets.As much as consumers have gravitated towards fresh/frozen gently-cooked diets, there are consumer concerns around convenience with these food forms, and it's left me wondering if a move towards shelf-stable fresh diets represents the next big trend in the pet nutrition space.I chatted with Sarah Hubler about Naavi Pet, which you can find in your local independent pet store. Supplements continue to be an area of growth in the pet industry. We saw an NAD+ supplement launch from Zesty Paws, which follows Leap Years® into the NAD+ space. Leap Years® was launched by Animal Bioscience earlier this year, and founders Nick Sinclair and Ginny Rentko appeared on the first episode of Petworking. I also had a chance to catch up with Dan Horner, VP of Sales at Pet Honesty, and talk about the company's amazing growth, which he said surpasses the growth he witnessed earlier in his career at FreshPet. Finally, Chad Stuart, Western Director of Sales at Halo, talked about how he did a 90-day trial of Halo Elevate with his dog Charlie, before joining the company. SuperZoo was a great 3 days, and I can't wait to dive further into these topics on future episodes of Petworking.

In 2020, the Mars Petcare leadership team found themselves facing critically important inclusion and diversity issues. Unprecedented protests for racial justice in the U.S. and across the globe generated demand for substantive change, and Mars Petcare's 100,000 employees across six continents were ready for visible signs of progress. How should Mars' leadership build on their existing diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts and effectively capitalize on the new energy for change?

Today, I have the privilege of engaging in a fascinating and eye-opening conversation with Dr. Judy Morgan, a renowned figure in the field of veterinary care.  As a certified veterinary acupuncturist, chiropractic owner, and food therapist, Dr. Morgan's expertise extends way beyond traditional allopathic medicine. Although she retired from clinical practice in 2020, her dedication to promoting exceptional veterinary care remains unwavering, both within the United States and abroad.  In our discussion, we dive into the factors contributing to the declining health of our beloved pets, such as the alarming obesity rates affecting 60% of pets in the United States. We also explore the flaws within the pet food industry, including the significant influence of Mars Petcare, a conglomerate that has acquired a substantial portion of the processed food industry.  Our conversation covers a myriad of topics, ranging from the distinctions between rendered and food-grade meat to the complexities surrounding grain-free diets. We touch on the contentious subject of vaccines, explain how to navigate between core and non-core vaccinations, and discuss specific concerns, such as lipomas, tooth care, exercise, and grooming. We also explore the best approaches to selecting flea and tick preventatives and the potential health implications of chemicals and plastics on our pets.  As someone who once contemplated a career in veterinary medicine, it was a true delight to interview Dr. Morgan- especially considering my allergies prevented me from pursuing that path! I encourage you to explore her insightful books and online resources because I am confident you will find them invaluable. Join me in this enlightening discussion that will undoubtedly shed light on essential aspects of pet care and welfare! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Why the health of our animals is declining. The difference between feed-grade and food-grade meat or food. How conglomerates are taking over the care of our pets- and not in a good way. Pet food that has Dr. Morgan's stamp of approval. What to look out for when reading the list of ingredients on a bag of pet food. The longest chapter in Dr. Morgan's brand new book, Raising Naturally Healthy Pets, is on vaccines. Dr. Morgan shares her recommendations for navigating flea and tick season. Dr. Morgan talks about lipomas. Why do you need to brush your dog's teeth every day? The problem with ignoring dental disease. Why dogs and cats need to exercise every day. What to look out for if you have to have your pet's anal glands cleaned out all the time. An entire chapter in Dr. Morgan's new book is dedicated to finding a veterinarian who is right for you.

The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) meets annually to offer continuing education for horse vets worldwide. They meet in a major American city every autumn (this year is in San Antonio, TX); however, they also offer a virtual meeting for practitioners who cannot attend. That appeals to me as November and December are my busiest months as my clients get ready for their show season. Why do I attend this meeting? The answer is to collect my credits for maintaining my veterinary licenses. It is also my way of conveying to horse owners listening to this podcast an interpretation of the information my colleagues are receiving from the "experts." I listen to what is said, but I also listen to what they don't say. In this episode, I review a recommended paper by the prime speaker of this conference called "Review of Considerations When Feeding the Equid with Insulin Dysregulation" by Dr. Pat Harris. It is an interesting paper that states six things horse owners can do for horses with ID (insulin dysregulation). I agree with some of the recommendations, especially when it suggests that owners should not feed "cereal grains" to horses with ID. I further say that no horse should be fed grain to PREVENT ID. But what was not surprising to me was at the end of the paper, the author states that s/he works for Mars Petcare. This relationship means that the information is biased toward the company's interests. Also, there was never any mention of protein, which I consider an important factor in ID. Thank you for listening and forwarding this to other horse owners.

www.DogCastRadio.comThrough all the ups and downs of the pandemic, our dogs and other pets have been at our sides as we've worked and studied at home. Mars Petcare has been researching the effect of having pets involved in the learning process. When a dog got into difficulty in a lake, an unlikely friendship was born, and now Jane and Shelagh are hoping that a calendar celebrating dogs will raise money for a Swansea charity. Julie and Jenny discuss new research that indicates cats see us in more of a parental role than dogs do.

Ikdeep Singh's journey from growing up in a small mining town in India to running multibillion-dollar businesses is an impressive one. Though it's not surprising when you consider the resilience he's shown and the personal philosophies he's maintained to get where he is today.  During college, Ikdeep struggled to find a job, which makes a great story now considering that he has since gone on to build and grow some of the world's most iconic brands at Procter & Gamble and L'Oréal. His high-profile roles at those ecompanies brought him all over the globe—from North America to Asia and Europe—to live and work. Now he's landed in Nashville Regional President Pet Nutrition NA at Mars Petcare. I had the pleasure of chatting with Ikdeep about his fascinating journey and the lessons he's learned along the way
