What happens when Candace gets to interview a woman in STEM and pet industry leader who not only owns her own pet retail location, but is making great strides in the study and transparency of pet food nutrition?
You get a jam-packed episode bursting at the seams with value, knowledge, and inspiration!
In this episode, Candace is joined by Nicci Cammack, founder and owner of NorthPoint Pets & Company, a large independent pet retail store. Nicci has an MS in Nutrition, and is currently pursuing her PhD in comparative biomedical sciences with a focus on canine nutrition.
Here’s a sneak peek of some of the many topics Candace covered with Nicci:
- How Nicci got to the point of letting her team handle the day-to-day of her retail business, even if that meant letting them make some mistakes.
- Her pitbull, Taser, and how her experiences with him propelled her down the path of exploring animal nutrition and a raw diet.
- Why she switched careers and opened a pet retail location, and how that snowballed into wanting to understand (and change) companion pet food regulation processes.
- What questions retailers should be asking to ensure quality products on their shelves.
- What pet industry professionals should really know about DCM.
- Her journey as a woman in STEM and how we can support others in that pursuit.
We were not kidding when we said “jam-packed”! Grab a pen for note taking, and get ready to absorb the incredible knowledge Nicci brings to the pet industry!
