I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Leo Trottier, Founder and CEO FluentPet 🌟🐾 at the “Play Well: Animal Enrichment Developing as a Category” panel superzoo! 🐶🐱 His insights on how pets can understand and process language—beyond just simple words—are absolutely mind-blowing. 🗣️💡 A big thank you to Annie Valuska, PhD, from Nestlé Purina for leading such an eye-opening discussion with her brilliant questions. 🙌✨ If you’re interested in improving how you communicate with your pets, Leo’s work with talking buttons and sound boards is a must-see! Discover how these tools can enhance your bond and enrich your pet’s life. 🎥❤️ #PetCommunication #GluentPet #PetEnrichment #TalkingButtons #PetsCanTalk Pet Care Innovation Prize

‘People would always ask me why I rescue pitbulls, and I tell them it’s because they’re misunderstood and misjudged, just like I was growing up.’ - @shortyrossi 🐾❤️ Shorty Rossi, Founder of @shortysrescue and star of Animal Planet’s ‘Pit Boss,’ shows us the deep impact that understanding and connecting with our pets can have. Since rescuing his first pit bull in 2001, Shorty has been committed to recognizing and celebrating each dog’s unique needs and personality. With seven pitbulls, each with their own story, Shorty’s message is a heartfelt reminder to appreciate our pets’ individuality and find what makes them truly happy. 🌟🐶 It was an honor to be on the Enrichment panel with you at SuperZoo 2024, Shorty. 🎉 The full panel video will be out soon—stay tuned for updates. In the meantime, check out Shorty’s touching message here and look forward to more highlights from the Pet Enrichment Panel @superzooshow #PitBullPride #RescueLove #CelebrateIndividuality Pet Care Innovation Prize
