Bennie and the Pets: Animal Radio with a Clear Conscience!

Industry wiz David Levy strikes again with his company, Pet Products Innovations, which consists of a group of brands featuring some wonderful products. Featured in this episode is the Smart Leash, a retractable dog lead that offers the safety of automatic braking technology like a car seat belt. Also presented are Beco brand dog toys from the UK made with non-toxic and durable materials. Great stuff!    

Bob Vella is a former radio host and a "super rep" in the pet care industry. His company, NV Pets, brings new and innovative products to market. Anthony and Amanda reconnect with their old friend Bob to talk about Canine Caviar Pet Foods, Soda Pup doggy play toys that look like soda cans, and Wally's Naturals natural yard sprays for flea and tick prevention.      

In this session, we get to interview Lisa and Giovanni Senafe, the Founders of Bentley's PetStuff, and their partner, David Levy, long-time pet care industry entrepreneur and investor. The trio were all involved with a recent episode of "The Profit," a hit show in which multi-millionaire Marcus Lemonis evaluates struggling businesses (but that have strong fundamental strengths) and decides whether to invest his own money to transform them into "Profit-Powerhouses."   We discuss what it was like to be on the show, the excitement of being funded by Mr. Lemonis, and the aggressive national growth plans ahead for the now surging pet specialty retailing chain! Must-hear radio!     

DAY 2 of Global Pet Expo 2016: Guests Brian Wright and Graham Sorkin from GreenPetShop.com. Products featured are the Cool Pet Pad and CBD Gel Pen.

The Cool Pet Pad is a convenient and innovative way to give your pets relief from the heat. At Bennie and the Pets, we are always willing to put our butts on the line for you, the listener! So our lovely co-host Amanda tested the product by putting HER butt on the pad, and she assured us that it chilled her cheeks quite nicely. Interviews like this make us wish we had a video feed! 

The CBD Gel Pen is a unique new transdermal applicator designed to provide a precise dose of cannabadiols (CBDs), the non-psychoactive components of marijuana which have shown so much promise in research for a wide variety of ailments. CBDs do NOT get animals or people "stoned" but we still generated some nice "buzz" talking about it.
