Self-care in a variety of forms helps Paige Elder be at her best in business. “I have a back injury, so I like to get a massage when I can make the time. I also like to get my nails and lashes done,” she says. “The better I feel about myself, the better I perform for my store.” Elder purchased Buzz N’ B’s Aquarium & Pet Shop, a full-line store that offers grooming, live animals and aquatic maintenance, in 2018 after working there for six years. Also helping Elder succeed are husband and business partner Josh and their pack and flock at home: Goldendoodles Penny and Pepper, Yorkshire Terrier Phoebe, Macaw Joey, White-Bellied Caiques Frankie and Bowser, and Canary Winged Parakeets Evie, Humphrey and Cardi. All of this self-care and support lead Elder to much success, with Buzz N’ B’s recently celebrating 50 years in business!

At first it was just an idea: Animal supplements needed the same quality control that human-grade supplements receive. But that was enough to start a movement and an organization —the National Animal Supplement Council — that would be dedicated to establishing a comprehensive path forward for the animal supplements industry. In this Media Spotlight interview, NASC’s president, Bill Bookout, talks to PETS+ interviewer Chloe DiVita about the industry today: Where it’s headed, what’s the latest focus and why it’s vital to gain the involvement of independent pet product retailers.
