Meet Josephine:

We are excited to learn more about her! 

Josephine Pets 

She loves to talk about them. There is Jack, a scruffy 11-year-old boy that she adopted from the Michigan Humane Society when he was 6 months old. He is a complete goof and can be very stubborn and picky. He loves playing hide and seek with his toys. He was having some health problems back in September, so Josephine switched to a completely raw diet, and he has been doing great since. They typically rotate between Steve's Real Food and Northwest Naturals.

Olive is an 8-year-old poodle mix that she also adopted from the Michigan Human Society while she was working there. She was just a small, sick little puppy that she had to add to her family. Her favorite toys are the Tall Tails natural leather rabbit and the cats yeowww catnip toy. She is obsessed with cat toys. She is also on a completely raw diet along with Jack.

Josephine also has four cats. Let's talk about them all together here or we may be here all day. Bob Marley and Johnny Cash are her very first pets as an adult. They are both 16 years old. They are both grey and white short-haired boys. She rescued them from a barn when they were 5 months old. Hilikus is a 9-year-old black short-haired female. Hilikus was a foster fail that she adopted from the Michigan Humane Society when she was an employee/foster there. Agnes is the baby, She is almost 2 years old. She was from a litter that a previous employee found. She is also an all-black short hair and is gifted with extra toes. They all go crazy for yeowww catnip and toys. Josephine have been working on incorporating raw into their diet. Their favorite food is Fussy Cat canned food. They love any of the tuna varieties.

Why Did Josephine Want To Work For The Pet Beastro?

Josephine has worked in the animal industry for a long time, and she enjoys centering herself around like-minded people in that way, not to mention all the furry faces! When she started shopping at The Pet Beastro, I knew there was something special about this particular store. Everyone was always so helpful when it came to caring for the health and well-being of her pets. She just knew she wanted to be a part of that kind of supportive environment.

What Has Josephine Learned By Working At The Pet Beastro?

She is constantly learning. She has worked in the animal medical field since 2011. Until starting at The Pet Beastro, Josephine didn’t have a working knowledge of pet nutrition. During her time at The Pet Beastro, she has been trained on the different pet foods we carry and the benefits of the ingredients in them. This knowledge allows her to provide the tools our customers need to make an informed decision on their own pet's nutrition.

What Is Josephine's Favorite Part of Her Job At The Pet Beastro?

The environment is very friendly and inviting. I enjoy getting to know and establishing relationships with our customers and their fur babies. I am also always learning and growing, and this helps me provide our customers with the best service.

What is Josephine's Favorite Product At The Pet Beastro And Why?

They have a few in her house but two of their favorites are Pet Releaf CBD oil and Answers raw goat milk. Pet Releaf has been amazing for both her dogs. Jack has arthritis and Olive has an old back injury. Pet Releaf CBD oil has helped with inflammation. Along with chiropractic, it helps keep her babies pain-free. Goat milk is a favorite for everyone in her house. It has helped with Olive’s GI issues. It was also the first step in their raw diet journey. Josephine started by simply just adding it to their dry kibble and evolved from there. It has been helpful for her picky eater too.

What Is Josephine's Advice Or Best Tip For Pet Parents?

Her advice to pet parents is to know what their cat or dog is eating. What is on the ingredient panel? Once Josephine started to learn more about the nutrition in her pet's food and the options that are out there she started to evolve as a pet parent. We want to do what is best for our pets, and we can help you!

What Does Josephine Most Enjoy Doing In Her Free Time?

Josephine enjoys being home hanging out with her boyfriend and her fur babies in her free time. Weather permitting, she likes to sit outside and listen to music and watch the pups play.
