Author: The Pet Shop Girls August 18, 2026 Duration: 48:03
The Pet Shop Girls are taking the podcast on the road—and this time, we’re coming to you live from SUPERZOO! In this episode, Sherry and Carly recorded live from the ArtVark Pet Products booth right on the show floor, talking about what they’re seeing, hearing, and loving at one of the pet industry’s biggest events. From reconnecting with longtime industry friends to discovering new brands and products, they’re sharing their real-time take on what’s happening at SUPERZOO. They dive into the overall vibe of the show, the trends catching their attention, standout finds from the New Product Showcase, and the products and ideas they’re most excited about. And of course, SUPERZOO wouldn’t be complete without a little Pet Shop Girls chaos. We gave away $1,600 in cold hard cash at our launch party and had an incredible time celebrating with everyone who came out to see us. A huge thank-you to all of our listeners, friends, and fellow pet pros who showed up for the bus party and the podcast party. Getting to connect with so many of you in person was one of the best parts of the entire week. Whether you made it to SUPERZOO this year or had to sit this one out, come hang out with Sherry and Carly and hear what caught their attention, what got them talking, and what they think is worth watching next.

Running a small business in the pet industry is a unique blend of passion and hustle. Pet Shop Girls with Sherry (Odyssey Pets) and Carly (House of Paws)-A Podcast for Independent Pet Pros gets right into the heart of that daily reality. Sherry brings two decades of experience from her own shop, Odyssey Pets in Dallas, covering everything from inventory to customer quirks. Carly, from House of Paws, adds her own frontline perspective. Together, they ditch the generic advice for conversations that actually sound like the ones you’d have with a trusted colleague. You’ll hear them work through the real stuff: practical marketing that doesn’t require a huge budget, the nuances of hiring and training a team that cares as much as you do, and how to sidestep pitfalls that can trip up even seasoned pros. They also keep an ear to the ground for the trends and ideas that matter to independent shops, not just the big chains. This podcast feels like a regular check-in with friends who understand exactly what you’re building, offering a mix of hard-won wisdom and fresh thinking to help your business thrive. Tune in for honest talk about making a living while doing what you love for animals and their families.
