Updated: 8:29 PM EDT Mar 23, 2025
THE GLOBAL PET EXPO IS SET TO TAKE PLACE NEXT WEEK IN ORLANDO, AND IT FEATURES OVER A THOUSAND PET INDUSTRY EXPERTS. JOINING US WITH A PREVIEW IS PET TRENDS AND PET BUZZ RADIO HOST CHARLOTTE REID. GOOD MORNING CHARLOTTE. GOOD MORNING. THANKS SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME. OH WE LOVE WHEN YOU COME ON HERE BECAUSE YOU SHARE US THE BEST TRENDS AND YOU HELP US SAVE SOME MONEY. I DO, I DO, AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IN THIS ROUGH ECONOMY, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. IT’S THE BIGGEST TREND RIGHT NOW. PET COST AWARENESS. HOW MUCH YOU’RE SPENDING ON YOUR DOG AND CAT, AND WHAT YOU CAN DO TO KEEP MORE OF THE BENJAMINS IN YOUR WALLET. ALL RIGHT, THAT’S WHAT WE LIKE. ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT DO YOU HAVE FOR US THIS MORNING? WHAT’S ALL ON THAT TABLE? WELL, IT’S SPRING NOW, SO. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, WALLY AND CHURCHILL ARE HERE, AND I THINK CHURCHILL IS SLEEPING A LITTLE BIT. IT’S A LITTLE EARLY FOR HIM, BUT, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS RIGHT NOW WITH SPRING. SO EVERYONE’S WORRIED ABOUT FLEA AND TICKS. SO I BOUGHT SOME ACTIVATE TWO FOR DOGS AND ACTIVE SPOT FOR CATS. IT KILLS FLEAS, EGGS, LARVAE, TICKS AND MOSQUITOES. AND IT ALSO REPELS A LOT OF FLEA AND TICK PARASITE PROTECTION DOES NOT REPEL. SO THAT’S REALLY IMPORTANT. AND IT’S WATERPROOF. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT IS JUST LIKE WE TAKE GENERIC MEDICATION. IT’S A GENERIC. THUS WE’RE GOING TO BE SAVING MONEY. AND ALSO COMPARED TO ADVANCE TICKS, WHICH IS ANOTHER POPULAR GENERIC, THIS ACTUALLY PRICES OUT ABOUT 723 A DOSE WHERE AVON TAKES PRICES OUT AT ABOUT 1423. SO THIS IS HALF THE PRICE AND YOU CAN PICK IT UP IN A MILLION PLACES ONLINE AND EVEN AT WALMART. OKAY. NEXT UP, WHAT’S ONE THING WE LOVE TO DO WITH OUR PETS? WE LOVE TO TREAT THEM. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT TREATS ARE GOING UP IN PRICE. SO I BROUGHT SOME NATURAL VALUE AND IT’S DUCK, CHICKEN AND BEEF. AND THEY MAKE STICKS, SAUSAGES. AND THEY ALSO MAKE TENDERS. AND ALL THREE OF THOSE COMBINATIONS. AND WHAT’S GREAT ABOUT THEM IS THE BAG IS PACKED WITH TREATS, RIGHT. VERY AFFORDABLE. AND I LOVE THEM BECAUSE, FOR EXAMPLE, THIS IS THE BEEF SAUSAGE. IT’S CUTE. IT’S ON SAUSAGE LINKS. BUT YOU CAN TAKE THIS AND BREAK IT UP. WHETHER FOR A TRADING CLASS OR WHETHER YOU WANT TO TREAT YOUR DOGS. IT’S THE SAME THING WITH THE CHICKEN TENDERS. AND IT’S THE SAME THING WITH THE STICKS. SO THUS YOU’RE LETTING THE BAG GO A LOT FURTHER. BEST PART MADE AND SOURCED IN THE US. LOVE THAT AND YOU’VE GOT SOME DIY TRICKS FOR US THIS MORNING. DIY DO IT YOURSELF. GROOMING IS WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT. GROOMING IS REALLY A PART OF YOUR PET’S HEALTH ROUTINE. FOR EXAMPLE, YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO CHECK THE COAT. YOU WANT TO LOOK FOR LUMPS AND BUMPS AND SMELLS. YOU WANT TO CHECK THE SKIN AND MAKE SURE THERE’S NO IRRITATION, ESPECIALLY AROUND FLEA AND TICK SEASON. AND ALSO IF YOU HAVE ANY MATS. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS ONE IS ALL SYSTEM. IT’S AN EIGHT AND ONE SYSTEM. LOOK AT ALL THESE GREAT TOOLS. SO THIS IS A VACUUM AND A DRYER. SO YOU’VE GOT THE DRYING TOOLS RIGHT HERE. THESE THREE RIGHT HERE. AND YOU’VE GOT ALL THE VACUUM TOOLS. AND WHAT I MEAN BY THE VACUUM TOOLS IS ONCE YOU CLIP OR GET THE TOOL OR YOU WIPE OFF YOURSELF, OR YOU USE THE SLICKER BOX, THE HAIR GOES RIGHT UP INTO, INTO THIS VACUUM. SO IT’S AMAZING. AND THEN YOU HAVE THE DRYER. IT COMES WITH TWO HOSES SO THAT FOR THE VACUUM PART FOR THE VACUUM TOOLS AND ALSO THE BLOW DRYING TOOLS. AND SIX CLIPPER COMBS. SO IT’S REALLY AFFORDABLE. IF, FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU HAVE ONE STANDARD POODLE, STANDARD POODLES ARE PROBABLY THE MOST EXPENSIVE TO GET GROOMED. THIS PRICE IS OVER A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN $100. I THINK IT’S LIKE A LESS THAN 120 ON AMAZON, AND IT’S GREAT. AND IT EVEN CLEANS THE COUCH OR THE AREA THAT YOU’RE GROOMING. SO HOW ABOUT THAT FOR DIY GROOMING? FANTASTIC. AND AFTER A FEW GROOMS, YOU’LL BE GROOMING LIKE A PRO. BEST PART? THE INSTRUCTIONS. VERY CLEAR, VERY EASY TO USE. AND THEY TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT THE TOOLS ARE. AND GREAT DIAGRAMS. SO LIKE I SAID, YOU’LL BE GROOMING LIKE A PRO. OTHER THINGS YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT IS, WELL, GELS. WELL GELS ARE RIGHT HERE. THEY COME IN FIVE DIFFERENT FLAVORS. WHAT’S NICE ABOUT THEM? YOU REMEMBER THE TWIST AND LICK WHERE WALLY LOOKED AT? IT’S THE SAME CONCEPT, EXCEPT THESE ARE NUTRACEUTICALS. THEY’RE SUPPLEMENTS, THEY’RE VITAMINS. THE PET WILL LIKE THEM. WHAT’S REALLY INTERESTING IS TETRA PET HAS DEVELOPED THIS PROLONGED TECHNOLOGY. SO THIS GETS ABSORBED INTO YOUR PET SYSTEM IN 15 MINUTES. IT DOESN’T TAKE HOURS BY THE QUICK ABSORPTION. YOUR PET IS GETTING MORE OF THE GOOD INGREDIENTS ABSORBED INTO HIS BODY. SO FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE SUMMER, THERE’S A LOT OF THUNDERSTORMS. YOU’RE DOING ACTIVITIES AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO CALM YOUR PET BECAUSE THERE’S CALMING THEIR SKIN. THERE’S 8 IN 1 VITAMINS. THERE’S ALSO HIP AND JOINTS AND A FEW OTHERS. BUT WHAT’S NICE ABOUT THIS? IMAGINE IF IT’S A THUNDERSTORM, YOUR PETS FREAKING OUT. HE’LL BE CALM WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF OF ABSORPTION. WHEREAS IF YOU HAVE CHEWS WHICH ARE VERY POPULAR AND HAVE THAT TAKES HOURS TO DIGEST TO GET ALL OF THOSE GOOD PRODUCTS INTO YOUR SYSTEM. SO THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO SAVE MONEY. SO BECAUSE IT’S SO QUICK, LASTLY, WE’VE GOT THE DOLCE BAMBOO BOWLS. THEY COME IN TWO DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATIONS. YOU HAVE THREE COLORS WHICH IS NICE AND THREE SIZES. AND THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS BAMBOO DOES IT’S GREAT. IT’S SO GREAT FOR THE ECONOMY. IT’S NOT ONLY GREAT FOR THE ECONOMY, BUT IT’S ALSO SUSTAINABLE. SO BAMBOO DOESN’T TAKE A LONG TIME TO GROW. IT’S REALLY LIGHT. IT’S CHEAPER AND TRANSPORTATION, IT’S HEALTHY. IT DOESN’T GET PARASITES AND IT’S JUST A HEALTHIER BOWL FOR YOUR DOG. AND THAT’S REALLY IMPORTANT. AND IT’S LONG LASTING. THUS IT’S SAVING YOU MONEY. I LOVE SAVING MONEY, AND I LOVE HOW THAT VACUUM THING THAT YOU GAVE US OR SHOWED US, IT WILL BASICALLY PAY FOR ITSELF WITH THE GROOMING. YEAH, THE ONE IS AND IT’S AMAZING. I MEAN, I USE IT JUST TO GET FROM I BLOW THE DOGS JUST TO GET THE LOOSE HAIR OFF. AND I DO IT ON MY FRONT PORCH. SO BUT IT SUCKS EVERYTHING UP. YEAH. SOMETIMES I’LL DO IT ON THE COUCH AND I’LL GET ALL THE HAIR OFF AND THE DOGS LOOK FABULOUS. WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHARLIE. YOU’RE SAVING US MONEY. YOU’RE KEEPING IT SUSTAINABLE. WE LOVE IT. AND WE LOVE WHEN YOU COME AND VISIT WITH US. AND I LOVE COMING TO SEE YOU AND MY FRIENDS IN BALTIMORE. SO THANKS SO MUCH FOR HAVIN
