    About

    Bobby jokes he was raised more dog than man. Growing up his mother worked for the SPCA, at a veterinary clinic, bred dogs and owned a boarding kennel. When he was in college he got his first job in a pet food store and never looked back as he went on to help his manager open her own pet food store, run a treat and supplement manufacturer and then strike out on his own to open his own pet food store with Julia. They then started their own supplement line, Earth MD, bought his mother's boarding kennel and started their own breeding line.
    Bobby also does some consulting for new pet food stores, manufacturers and rescues.
