Quick Hits:
If we are being charitable, 2024 has been a tad crazy (and it’s only July). However, here at The Woof HQ, we keep things licking like peanut butter on a dog’s nose. Since the beginning of the year, we’ve seen our community grow at an impressive pace. We have added so many new subscribers that we decided to do a mid-year (we know we’re a month late) recap and share our most popular stories so far in 2024.
Moving forward, we want to have a more open line of communication. If you have ideas, suggestions, new sections you’d like to see, sections you may not like as much, or any general commentary you’d like to share with us, please do so at the very bottom. Once you vote on either poll, you will be redirected to a new page where you can give your input.
So here are some of our most popular stories/interviews of 2024👇🐶
Earlier this year we went to the Global Pet Exp in Florida. It was our first big event and we had a blast. We met & talked to so many pet entrepreneurs and saw all the new innovative products. At the same time, APPA shared these charts about the pet market. These are critical insights for any business owner who is intent on capturing a certain consumer base. Still extremely relevant and necessary whether you have an online business or a retail location.
Basel "Vasili" Nassar, the founder & CEO of Boss Nation Brands.
After selling his Greek yogurt company in 2010, Basel went on to start a functional pet food brand with a focus on probiotics. Boss Nation Brands has since become one of the premier companies spearheading the “premiumization of the pet industry”.
Today, both Boss Dog® and Boss Cat® are being touted by many as the leader in digestive health benefits for pets. All of their products are “infused” with heavy doses of their probiotic strain, which allows for sufficient levels and survivability versus many other brands.
Everybody loves to see a young determined entrepreneur. Enter Ava Dorsey, the founder of Ava’s Pet Palace.
She drew her first business plan at the age of 6. Two years later, she started her business journey. 8 years later she is running a successful business. She’s gotten into Target and other big box stores, won the WDB Young Entrepreneur of the Year competition, ran a successful Kickstarter, moved to a commercial kitchen, signed with a distributor, and more.
If you’re an entrepreneur of any age, this is a must-read.
If you are in the pet space, Jim Dougherty needs no introduction. He is a serial entrepreneur and the founder of PetSmart & Petsense. Before he started PetSmart he had launched multiple businesses, however, PetSmart was his first-ever massive success. By 1994, that's less than 10 years after opening, he was able to scale PetSmart to 100 stores across the nation.
In 2005 he launched Pet Sense and then sold it to Tractor Supply in 2016. That makes him one of the most successful founders in the pet space with 2 separate exits.

Meet Joe Spector, the founder & CEO of Dutch and (formerly) Hims. Joe and his family came to the US, fleeing persecution in Uzbekistan. Joe took that immigrant mentality and built Hims & Hers, a massive multi-billion dollar brand.
After he left Hims, he decided to tackle the world of pet Telehealth. His new venture Dutch is an affordable solution for pet parents’ health needs.
He’s raised hundreds of millions of dollars for Hims and over $40m for Dutch. He is the American dream.
In case you haven’t heard, the pet industry is 🔥🔥🔥
Pets parents are more intentional than ever with their spending. Finding the best foods, daycare, toys, supplements, vet care, beds, and anything else that will enhance their pets' lives. Dogs no longer live outside in the doghouse (unless that doghouse is a lavish dog villa) but sleep in our beds, and are the target of our full love & attention. Some are even full-blown social media superstars.
Many entrepreneurs and pet enthusiasts want to get into the space but are not sure how. We regularly receive emails asking our opinion on how to do just that. Some think a startup is the only way to go. However, there are plenty of established (and some that are newer) franchises that offer great opportunities for those who want to enter the space with a bit more security.
