EP#18 - News & Tidbits w/ Lonnie Schwimmer

I asked Lonnie Schwimmer, CEO & founder of Koha Pet Food & Nootie products to join me in discussing an article just published in Pet Product News by David Lummis who is the lead pet market analyst for Packaged Facts, a division of MarketResearch.com, and author of Packaged FactsU.S. Pet Market Outlook, 2020-2021: Responding to the COVID-19 Impact:  
The title of the article is: What will the Pet Industry Look Like After the COVID 19 Pandemic Subsides? 
I read this article a few times hoping to see if there was anything I could take away from it as it pertained to myself and the independent pet retailers that are trying to maneuver and make it through the day-to-day. 
You will certainly hear my thoughts but I wanted to also speak to and learn from someone who deals with the independent retailers, the distributors and the on-line platforms like Chewy's - Lonnie provides this perspective  - here are two views of this article and the information it's providing and not providing.
