How Law Works For/Against Pets & Their Owners
Dog Talk (And Kitties Too!) (04-21-2018) #567: Featuring Lisa Senafe, Kyla Sternlieb, and Jeremy Cohen. Lisa Senafe from Bentley’s Pet Stuff (https://petstuff.com/) talks about how in two years she went from having one store in Arlington Heights, Illinois and she grew by taking over 84 stores in 10 states, embracing a philosophy of empowering employees to educate customers [and championing Tracie’s favorite high-end cat toy, Nekoflies! (https://nekoflies.com/)]; Kyla Sternlieb created an entirely new niche product for pets — a freeze-dried bland diet for pets and a growing line of health supplements — and is turning Under the Weather (http://undertheweatherpet.com/) into another entrepreneurial woman-driven success story; pet lawyer Jeremy Cohen of Boston Dog Lawyers talks about how owners need to be informed about how the law can work for and against them and their pets.
