And the Pet Industry Disruptor Award Goes to…

Our very own Store Owner, Nicci Cammack just received the Pet Industry Disruptor Award from Rogue Pet Science.

We’re NorthPoint Pets:

Welcome to our NEW weekly Newsletter I hope you love it and as are excited about it as we are – I’m Nicole Cammack, the founder and owner of NorthPoint Pets here in Cheshire, CT. We’ve been busy behind the scenes building you a new & functional website, designing this newsletter, getting our Jeep ready for making local deliveries & most importantly – helping you, the best customers we could ever ask for. While 2020 was a trying year, we’re thrilled to still be here supporting you and your pets – a commitment we will continue to have for many years to come. We hope that your commitment to supporting this local business and others within our community stays equally as strong.

When I founded NPP I never thought it would become what it has today, and we’re all so grateful to all of you who helped us get here. We strive to not be ‘just another pet store’ and instead take an evidence-based approach to the products we sell, recommendations we make and articles we write. While we are huge advocates for fresh food, and integrative approaches, we take pride in fostering an environment where all are welcome, regardless of your feeding philosophy. While this is certainly approach that has drawn criticism from others within the industry (simply because we don’t focus on sales) – we take great pride in doing the right thing and teaching pet parents every chance we get!

I am deeply humbled by all the support over these last several years, and for the opportunity to keep building our team. With your loyalty 2020 delivered us a major award: Being recognized as the #1 Pet Store in the U.S. by Pet Business Magazine. With this newsletter I hope it showcases our commitment to the science of nutrition and the advancement of health and wellbeing of all pets and people. If there is any topic you’d ever like us to cover in our NPP Journal or in this newsletter please email us at info@northpointpets.com.

The NorthPoint Delivery Jeep got a makeover!

In classic 2020 fashion, online retailers have truly disrupted the livelihoods of small business owners and the communities they serve – this is especially true for the pet industry. Unknowingly, pet owners are missing out on exclusive independent only products such as treats, food and toys. As a result of online ordering and home delivery gaining popularity we determined it was necessary to offer personalized delivery to our customers who have supported us through all these years. Instead of simply shipping items, we opted to instead perform deliveries ourselves providing more control and personalization to the process!

Orders can be placed by simply calling 203-271-0111 (Yes, you can speak to a real human!) or even by going to our ONLINE STORE (please link this). We’ll be happy to hand pick your exact shopping list, or even personally shop for thoughtful treats and toys. Our team is well trained and experienced to make the perfect recommendation to help keep your pet happy, entertained and you stress-free!

Empowering Pet Health: Celebrating founder, Nicole Cammack’s Dedication to Pet Health

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ATLANTA, February 12, 2020—  Sage (FTSE: SGE), the market leader in cloud business management solutions, announced today that founder Nicole Cammack of NorthPoint Pets has been deemed the winner in its Rising 50 club contest, completed January 10, 2020. Sage 50cloud created the contest to honor small business owners who were successfully growing their business. Cammack launched NorthPoint Pets in Connecticut in 2014, as a carefully crafted resource focusing on pet nutrition and behavioral well-being. NorthPoint Pets provides high-quality products, wellness innovation, and personalized options while helping pet parents select healthy foods, and functional supplements with the goal of increasing longevity. Today, NorthPoint Pets employs 13 people.

“Like many in the pet industry, I got started because I had a really sick pet. Conventional veterinary medicine and nutrition simply were not going to work for him. So I left my job in human medicine to pursue a career in animal health and wellness,” explained Nicole.

“I founded NorthPoint Pets with the idea that it would be a resource center; we would not just offer treats and food. Instead, we offer those things and more. We offer advice. We are a trusted resource for pet parents and veterinarians,” she added.

Nicole’s video submission best answered the contest questions of why she started the business; what one thing made her business grow; what was the biggest obstacle to overcome; and what’s the biggest challenge now. Combined with her plans for the grant, she was deemed the winner of the $10,000 award.

“Nicole’s story of business growth, and what she’s doing to support pets, is inspiring,” noted Sage’s Kyle Curry. “She is a great example of what we hoped to hear when we called for entries,” Kyle added.

Nicole will be recognized for her award at Sage Summit in Orlando in May.
