Rosemont, IL (PRWEB) September 19, 2014
Clear Conscience Pet Founder Anthony Bennie has been chosen to lead a discussion group and education session called “The Next Wave of Natural” at this year’s Total Pet Expo in Rosemont, Illinois. In this new program, Bennie will shed light on the rapidly changing and natural and alternative pet care niche.
“The goal is to look at this market segment which has been the key growth engine for the past twenty years in the pet food and treats industry,” said Bennie. “What’s really happening beyond all of the hype, and how recent and future changes will affect different industry players.”
“The Next Wave of Natural” focuses on the market saturation of brands positioned as “all natural” including rapid expansion into grocery and mass markets. This inevitably dilutes the perception of specialness upon which the natural pet category has relied upon for decades of growth.
But the rapid expansion of “all-natural” products not only affects market share for specialty retailers, it can affect the nutritional quality of what we feed our pets. “When the economics of natural pet food mass marketing and the true value of optimum animal nutrition conflict, pets can wind up being unintentionally downgraded to lower quality foods and treats,” said Bennie referring to his analysis.
This session will help participants to recognize the difference between natural products that are genuinely high quality and those that embrace short cuts and dubious ingredient choices to meet price and profit goals required for mass market success.
Sessions are slotted for the following times at the Animal Health and Wellness Station on the show floor at the Total Pet Expo:
Friday, September 19, 10:30 – 11:15 am;
Saturday September 20, 1:00 to 1:45 pm; and
Sunday, September 21, 10:30 to 11:15 am
Anthony Bennie hosts a weekly radio program called Clear Conscience Pet Radio, and topics such as the controversial “Next Wave” theory are discussed along with segments featuring animal communicators, rescue groups, and even musicians who practice their art with tunes produced just for dogs and cats. His latest mission is bringing the concept of CleanLabel™ formulation to animal nutrition through Clear Conscience Pet®.
