Q & A Session with Patty

I worked with another local pet store for a little while where I learned basic nutrition concepts and the health benefits about certain kinds of food. But it was nothing like NPP!

When I saw that NorthPoint Pets & Company was hiring, I did some research on them and absolutely fell in love with what they did and what they stood for. It was my desire to learn more about pet health and nutrition to help my pets and the pets of all our customers. That’s why I was so eager to join the team.

Tell us about your pets!

My pets are my world and I strive to give them a better life in any way possible.

My older dog, TJ, is an 11-year-old Schnoodle who loves to cuddle up on his bed. Don’t let him fool you. He will protect the house from any intruder that may come close by —human or squirrel.

My cat Bella was dumped at my condo complex and she found the animal lovers in the neighborhood. We just had to take her in. She is 14 and still acts like a kitten.

And last but not least, there’s my baby Josie. She is a 5-year-old cockapoo and she is actually my emotional support animal. I got her during a really tough time in my life and I think that’s why she means so much to me. If she’s not snuggled up laying in the sunlight, she most likely has the zoomies with her favorite toy.

What do you enjoy most about working at NPP?

My favorite thing about working at NorthPoint is that I am constantly learning and growing with the staff. From different kinds of raw, kibble, to treats and food toppers, you never stop learning new things and I think that’s super awesome!

What is your pet’s favorite treat/toy from NPP?

I’m not sure if some people call this a treat, but my dog’s favorite treat is the Green Juju Bailey’s Blend. They love their vegetables in general but with so many mixed together, I know I’m giving them something they like and that is good for them!

What is your favorite product to recommend and why?

Something I learned in my early days of working at NPP is that even if you can’t do a fully raw diet for your pet, it is totally possible to take little steps that could make a huge difference.

Adding bone broth or goat’s milk to soak their kibble in instead of just water.

Using toppers to enhance the kibble.

Splitting their meal into half kibble and half raw is great too.

Start with baby steps!
