This week we are joined by special guest Krysta Fox, holistic certified Vet Tech. We are chatting about all things supplements from selecting high-quality supplements, what supplements support specific pet needs, how to help your employees with training and knowledge about supplements, supplement industry standards and red flags, and so much more.  Meet Krysta Krysta began her pet industry career at a small feed store in her hometown, and since then has taken on various roles within the pet industry from sales to manufacturing, formulation, and marketing. Krysta is a seasoned veterinary technician; working in traditional, holistic, and integrative practices for close to a decade. This plays a key part in her knowledge of veterinary medicine and common (and uncommon) practice within the field. Krysta is obsessed with learning more every day in the field of animal health and nutrition. With her combined veterinary and pet industry knowledge, she can effectively help almost anyone she comes across in some way regarding their pets’ health. https://pugandhound.com/ Get Carly's Natural Pet Health Journal: https://a.co/d/5eUVfks Connect with the Pet Shop Girls!

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.

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.
