Other observations about the nominee.
They are a pet-loving family owned store with
employees that live in the community. They are all pet lovers and have the pet’s
interest in mind when selecting products to promote. They have a staff member
who is studying to be a vet as well as staff members that have worked in vet
clinics, grooming salons and doggie daycares and are passionate about animals.
All employees have pets that they are directly responsible for caring for and
therefore can relate to customer’s needs and concerns and offer advice based on
experience with their own animals. They learn from their customers and stock their store based on their
own product choices as well as recommendations from customers, groomers, vets,
behavioral specialists, and pet lovers in general.
