SuperZoo is just around the corner, and I'm excited. In the latest episode of Petworking, I sat down with three industry leaders to discuss upcoming trends and innovations in pet nutrition ahead of this major event, and what we can hope and expect to see on the show floor in Las Vegas this week. My guests were Dr. Greg Aldrich, COO of Nulo Pet Food, Greg Kean VP of Global Innovation and Nutrition at Wellness Pet Company, and Dr. James Templeman, Director of Nutrition at Primal Pet Foods. Key discussion points included: Alternative processing methods: The experts expect to see continued innovation in minimally processed pet foods, including raw, frozen, freeze-dried, and gently cooked options. These products aim to provide optimal nutrition while addressing consumer demand for less processed foods. Affordability and value: With economic pressures affecting pet owners, companies are working to balance premium nutrition with affordability. This includes offering smaller package sizes and positioning some products as meal toppers rather than complete diets. Consumer experience: The panel emphasized the importance of creating positive feeding experiences for both pets and owners. This includes factors like aroma, texture, and variety to keep pets interested and owners satisfied. Fresh and refrigerated foods: While fresh pet food continues to grow in popularity, the experts noted challenges around profitability, logistics, and consumer education. They expect continued innovation in this space to address these issues. Science-backed nutrition: There's an increasing focus on conducting feeding trials and other research to validate nutritional claims and build veterinarian and consumer trust. Sustainability: The experts hope to see more innovation around sustainable nutrition, including alternative proteins and upcycled ingredients. Cat food innovation: With the growing cat population, there's an opportunity for more product development specifically for felines. While it's challenging to predict the next big breakthrough, the experts agreed that Super Zoo often provides surprises in terms of new product concepts. They look forward to seeing how companies continue to innovate to meet evolving consumer demands and pet nutritional needs. As the pet food industry continues to evolve, it's clear that balancing nutrition, affordability, sustainability, and consumer experience will be key drivers of innovation. Super Zoo 2024 promises to showcase the latest advancements in these areas, potentially unveiling the next big trend in pet nutrition. Listen to the episode, and share your thoughts in the comments!

I had the chance to meet Dr. James Templeman, Director of Nutrition at Primal Pet Foods at SuperZoo this summer, and we had a great chat about the nutritional benefits of raw, freeze-dried, and gently-cooked diets. Adding even a little bit of one of these food forms to your pet's kibble can go a long way towards improving their overall health. Since SuperZoo, I've made a conscious effort to increase the levels of freeze-dried food in my dog, Peony's diet, and the results have been amazing. Peony was already demonstrating higher energy levels since we put her on Leap Years® in April, but switching her canned topper to a freeze-dried gravy has her running to her bowl again every morning. While we didn't discuss Peony directly, in this episode, Dr. Templeman and I touched on the reasons more pet parents should consider including at least some minimally processed food in their pet's diet, and how pet parents can provide increased nutritional benefits to their pets, even on a budget. Minimally Processed vs. Processed Foods: The conversation began with a focus on the nutritional differences between minimally processed diets (like raw freeze-dried, fresh, refrigerated, and gently cooked foods) and more processed foods, such as kibble. The balance between cost, convenience, and nutrition is a challenge many pet parents face. Recent Research Breakthroughs: Dr. Templeman highlighted Primal's recent research assessing the digestibility of pet foods, going beyond just macronutrient levels. They employed a unique methodology from the University of Illinois called the Sectorized Rooster model to assess standardized amino acid digestibility in these diets. Benefits of Minimally Processed Foods: While Dr. Templeman, as a researcher, hesitated to discuss anecdotal benefits, he did mention potential positive changes pet owners might observe. These include improved gut function, higher quality stools, and an increased desire of pets to consume the diet. Economic Realities: Recognizing the economic constraints many pet parents face, the discussion acknowledged that not everyone can switch entirely to minimally processed foods due to their higher cost. However, even introducing a mix of these foods with kibble can offer some of the nutritional benefits. This episode provides some eye-opening insight about the importance of research-backed data in making informed decisions about pet diets. Enjoy!

Pet loss often goes unacknowledged, is compared with other losses, or is met with statements that invalidate the grief that is experienced. ‘It was just a cat' and other unhelpful comments minimize the real experience of grief pet owners go through. Both Erica and I describe the connection we had with our cats and how their loss affected us. Erica's cat Wolfgang had such an impact on her life and when he died, she could not find suitable support to help her navigate grief, so she created a beautiful card deck. Erica's mission is to support others in dealing with pet loss and normalize pet loss grief as a valid sort of grief.     About this week's guest After the sudden passing of her cat, Wolfgang, Erica couldn't find a simple product to help her cope, so she created her own: Pet Loss Grieving Cards. Thus, her company Wolfie's Wish was born. Grieving Cards have since won “Best New Product” at the Superzoo tradeshow. When she's not paw-sitively rocking it in her business, Erica enjoys performing pop and rock covers on her harp or scratching and mixing on the turntables.Erica's links:Website: www.wolfieswish.comInstagram: @wolfies_wishResources mentioned in this episode:Pet Loss Grieving CardsThank you for listening!HOW TO DEAL WITH GRIEF AND TRAUMA is produced and edited by me, Nathalie Himmelrich. Support the showSupport the show: Become a supporter of the show!

Get ready to feel the electrifying BUZZ of SuperZoo 2023 in Viva Las Vegas!  This year's SuperZoo was a different experience for our CEO and founder, Candace, in a few ways!  She got to see the culmination of her marketing efforts come to life– she was a recognized face at this event, and the people who stopped her to chat and take a photo were SO inspiring and really reinforced Pet Boss Nation's mission.  But this year… she was also a Pet Boss MOM! And she brought Pet Boss Baby, Carmine, along for the exciting ride.  This episode is NOT about trends as much as it is about the SuperZoo experience and why nothing can beat going to such an amazingly huge and impactful event in the pet industry.  In this episode you'll hear: 

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.

Welcome to One Last Network and The Art of Shuffling the Deck.   Erica Messer encountered tragedy in 2020. Just months after finding her soul cat, Wolfgang, he had an accident and left her physical world.   Her grief was overwhelming, especially since it was complicated with mental health issues.  Wolfgang's death broke her in many ways.  But like kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing ceramics with gold, she put herself back together and found her way down a new path, helping others see light through the darkness of their grief.  In her own grief, she went searching for something simple that would help her focus on her healing.   She found nothing suitable.  In consultation with her mum, Bonnie, Erica put her whole heart in developing Wolfie's Wish, her own simple product, a deck of pet loss grieving cards. Each card carries a message, an instruction, an affirmation for dealing specifically with pet loss and the grief that accompanies it.  The cards were first runner-up in the Accessories and Gifts category for the Best New Product awards at Superzoo, a large pet industry trade show, in 2022.  The cards are just the beginning of the empire Erica wants to build as she steps forward into this new life of pet loss grief and being of service to pet guardians around the world.   What to listen for  4:06 Why Erica sought professional help for her own grief  12:20 Erica's mission to help others in their grief  21:25 Learning to talk to people in a more empathetic way  32:01 How Erica finds new ways to support people in grief  37:29 How to give someone grieving space to feel  Where to find Erica  Wolfie's Wish  Instagram  Facebook: Wolfie's Wish Pet Loss Support Group  YouTube  Other resources mentioned in this episode  David Kessler's Healing Grief Card Deck  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onelastnetwork/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/onelastnetwork/support

In this episode, Isabel talks about the great products Sprinkle & Sweep recently brought to market with one of the company's founders, Patrick Shannon. Isabel discovered these products at SuperZoo in August and has been using them ever since. Pet products like their "magic powder" and deodorizing spray are not just a great way to keep pet lovers' homes smelling fresh and clean, they are necessary to control the health concerns associated with unmanaged pet messes. Throughout Isabel and Patrick's chat, you'll learn how Sprinkle & Sweep's products were developed and the brand-new product they have in development. You'll also learn why other popular accident pick-up options don't stand up to Sprinkle & Sweep. EPISODE NOTES: Sprinkle & Sweep

We're kicking off the New Year with a conversation I had with Daniella Morgan-Pascualvaca, one of the key people at Mella Pet Care. I got to know Mella while speaking on a panel about influencer marketing for Leap Venture Studio last year. We also connected in person at SuperZoo in August. I thought this interview would be the perfect conversation to share this January because Mella is all about making it easier to keep your pet healthy. Their first product to launch is an underarm pet thermometer that integrates with a mobile app. I order the thermometer and used it a bunch of times on Burt and Lucy in September to establish baseline healthy temperatures for them. I'm so happy I did because when Burt wasn't feeling well in November I was able to take his temperature and have the peace of mind that he didn't have a fever. In our conversation, Daniella also shares a great story about how she got involved with Mella, going from intern to Chief of Staff, which I know you'll find inspirational. She also hosts their podcast the Mella Moment, which I'll be a guest on next month. If you enjoy this conversation and want to check out Mella, use my affiliate link to order your own underarm pet thermometer.

In this episode, Toni and Emily talk about their experience at one of the largest pet trades shows of the year. They talk about what these trade shows are, when they started going to them, why they are important to the business, and all the new fun things they bought to be introduced to the store.    Direct any comments or questions to: Info@toniunleashed.com  Visit our websites: www.healthypetproducts.net / www.toniunleashed.com    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthypetproducts/ https://www.instagram.com/toni.unleashed/  Facebook: Thttps://www.facebook.com/HealthyPetProducts / https://www.facebook.com/ToniUnleashed  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAMxTEiHqRkpWNakn4OA__A  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healthypetproducts / https://www.tiktok.com/@toni.unleashed  Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/HealthyPetProducts/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HealthyPetPgh 

What inspires you to try new things? The loss of pet is an earth shattering moment in the life of a pet owner. Erica Messer, owner of Wolfie's Wish, took the tragedy and turned it into her inspiration to help others. Erica started a product line to help pet parents grieve the loss of their pet. Erica breaks down how she dove into product development, found a manufacturer, and works on her marketing. She also shares how she makes the most out of trade shows and is focused on building a community of resources for everyone. Main topics Background as a musician Designing her product Finding her market Making the most of trades hows Main takeaway: You can have one product (or service) that you market in multiple ways to address the needs of different niches. About our guest After the sudden passing of her cat, Wolfgang, Erica couldn't find a simple product to help her cope so she created her own: Pet Loss Grieving Cards. Thus, her company Wolfie's Wish was born. Grieving Cards have since won “Best New Product” at the Superzoo tradeshow. When she's not paw-sitively rocking it in her business, Erica enjoys performing pop and rock covers on her harp or scratching and mixing on the turntables.

Erica Messer wants to comfort and support people grieving the loss of a pet. After the sudden passing of her cat, Wolfgang, Erica couldn't find a simple product to help her cope so she created her own: Pet Loss Grieving Cards. Thus, her company Wolfie's Wish was born. Grieving Cards have since won “Best New Product” at the Superzoo tradeshow. When she's not paw-sitively rocking it in her business, Erica enjoys performing pop and rock covers on her harp or scratching and mixing on the turntables. She discusses normalizing grieving a pet, what are and how to use pet loss grieving cards, and creative ways to transform and process grief.

In this episode, I'm sharing a conversation with an entrepreneur I met in person at SuperZoo this past August. Kerry Cooke is the founder of Tail Chasers and the inventor of Spleash - a water holding spray leash handle. She told me how she came up with the idea while walking her dog in the warm California weather (and always forgetting to bring a water bottle and dog bowl). The Spleash can spray your dog with water to help them cool off and it can also be used as drinking water for them with the attached bowl. In addition to designing and launching this product, Kerry is also Vice President of Sales at a biotech company. She shared with me what it's like to create a dog gear startup, get publicity and push for conversions while juggling many other responsibilities. The element of the Tail Chasers business that stands out the most to me is the charitable component. Kerry and her daughter have a very personal story about the impact of therapy dogs and they're dedicated to making that wonderful resource available to more people. Kerry was such a pleasure to talk to! If you enjoy what you hear in this episode, please share it!

Interspecies Communicator Liz Murdoch explores ways grieving pet lovers experience their grief journey with the loss of a beloved pet. Is this episode she chats with Erica Messer, founder of Wolfie's Wish and creator of Pet Loss Grieving Cards, a recent winner of Best New Products at Super Zoo 2022. Liz and Erica also discuss Animal Communication as a tool for connecting and receiving messages from dogs, cats or other animals that have passed away.  They discuss why or why not someone may choose to reach out for answers or insights, and why it's ok to decline or wait until one is ready. Most of all, Liz and Erica offer support from their recent experiences with pet loss, grief and healing while offering reassurance that eveyone has their own path that's often easier when shared at least some of the time with other people.

This episode mostly covers our experience and opinions about the 2022 edition of SuperZoo in Las Vegas, as well as a couple stories from our listeners.

I just got back from spending three days in Las Vegas at the largest pet industry trade show in North America. SuperZoo had over 14,000 attendees and over 900 exhibitors with just about everything you need for your life with pets. In this episode, I'll share dog food and treats trends, hot ingredients to keep an eye out for, what was happening in terms of canine enrichment, something called palatability testing plus my personal favorite part of SuperZoo! While I had a great time and met lots of wonderful people, it was clear that we need to keep working to amplify and support women in this industry. So it couldn't be a better time to open up membership in Wear Wag Repeat Society! I love this community of women and how well we've gotten to know each other. Get on the waitlist now so you know when membership open in early September. Go to wearwagrepeat.com/society

After discussing what's going on in our lives, we touch back on our PetSmart Days and our troubles registering for SuperZoo

I'm excited to share a conversation with Ava Dorsey who started her brand Ava's Pet Palace as a kid-reprenur when she was just 8 years old. Now she's 15 years old and her USDA certified organic pet treats are carried in over 200 stores around the United States. In this interview we talk about how she got started with her very first recipe and what Ava's big dreams are for the future… She sees Ava's Pet Palace being a real in-person destination that might include a pet restaurant and other fun attractions. That sounds so amazing but there's also some big things happening right around the corner. We talk about the upcoming SuperZoo event in Las Vegas where Ava will be introducing her new line of cat treats in the new product showcase! Up until now her mom was still making their cat treats by hand at home! At the end of our chat, I also asked Ava what advice we could share with young girls in our lives who want to start their own businesses. Her sage advice applies to women of any age - just go for it!

My guest Sarah Goldberger, CEO and Founder of Lord Jameson: Organic Dog Treats, joins me today with some really great advice for those in the pet industry but also for business owners in general. We talk about the importance of mentorship, embracing failure and uncertainty, and SuperZoo, an incredible conference for pet retailers and others in the pet industry.Sarah so eloquently phrases her Zone of Genius, as the ability to “find the inner center”. When it comes to products, market voids, and even employees Sarah has a unique talent to guide with intuition. I know personally, I got where I am today because of influential mentors and guides along the way. Sarah and I really believe it's your duty as a leader to pay it forward and guide and mentor those special people you encounter in your business journey.We also talk about the F-Word: Failure. A lot of business owners and entrepreneurs are scared of that word. Sarah and I talk about what it really means to fail and all of the beauty, learning, innovation, and even success that can come when you accept failure as a step along the way.Unusual for Crystal Uncorked, I have never actually met Sarah. But we are slated to meet at SuperZoo in August. If you haven't heard of SuperZoo and you're in the pet industry, it is the spot to be. With over 700 products, 70 big-name buyers, and 1000+ exhibitors, it is the largest and most comprehensive trade show in North America. This episode is such a treat, literally! Sarah even gives us a special Crystal Uncorked secret in her new favorite, unreleased flavor for the upcoming season! She also shares about a  great resource for pet retailers that Crystal Media actually partners with, WPA365. Check out Lord Jameson on their social media channels to learn more about Sarah and her incredible products!What's Inside:Tips, tricks, and advice for leaders in the pet industry.The other F-word: FailureThe importance of mentorship.The new and secret flavor for Lord Jameson's upcoming seasonal treat.All about SuperZoo, the largest and most comprehensive trade show in North America.Mentioned In This Episode:Lord Jameson Lord Jameson (@lordjameson) • Instagram photos and videosLord Jameson - Home | FacebookSuperZoo Conference August 22-25 SuperZooWhy WPA365 - World Pet AssociationEVOLVE 2023 in Denver, CO - Crystal MediaCrystal Media Connect with CrystalCrystal on YouTubeCrystal on InstagramCrystal on FacebookCrystal on TikTok
