Views from the Shore
My new dog Herman has been an absolute joy. The adorable little bernedoodle has been in my life for only a few weeks but already has made a home for himself in my family. When it comes to all of the fresh responsibilities of owning a puppy, the first thing on my mind wasn’t to hide the slippers or learn how to potty train; I had to figure out what to feed this dog.
Pam Brascetta was the first person that came to mind, and she certainly answered the call.
Pam is the owner of a local branch of Pet Wants, a natural and holistically clean line of pet food for dogs and cats. We met through the Somers Point Business Association and I spent time with her at the National Night Out and on the radio at WOND 92.3 FM. We connected instantly and when it came to my bernedoodle’s diet, she offered me expert advice with enthusiasm like no other.
“Our food formulas are uniquely prepared — in small batches at low temperatures every four to six weeks to lock in the nutrition. Pet Wants foods are free of all gluten, corn, soy, dyes and by-products,” Pam said. “We are a high-quality premium line of dog and cat food, treats, chews and supplements and all ingredients are sourced in the USA.”
She told me with a glowing and excited smile. “We like to recommend [rotating] the proteins for the pets as they derive different health benefits from various proteins. Plus, just as we get bored with our food, they need variety too! Would you want to eat chicken every day?,” Pam said.
She experienced first hand a marked improvement when changing her cat Michael’s food and supplementing with a certified organic CBD and Icelandic Fish Oil that her company offers. She was able to transition him from pharmaceuticals and his skin and coat improved tremendously.
She had me convinced and I opted for a nice variety for my little guy.
Pam’s dedication and drive for her business had me curious how she ended up owning Pet Wants EHT.
“I did my research and loved what Pet Wants is all about, great nutrition with science to back it up along with caring about the health and welfare of pets and their parents. The products are robustly nutritional and every single batch is subjected to exacting tests conducted in house and by a third-party lab for nutritional accuracy,” she said. “We are a franchise brand that I have brought to the local area to provide pets the superior nutrition they deserve- truly a health and wellness line.”
Admirably, Pam has made Pet Wants her whole life. She is always preparing for events, markets, shows and conventions along with educational training and research. While it may be arduous work, she thrives in that intense environment and getting to help pets be healthy fulfills her like nothing else.
“It is just my passion,” she said. “I live and breathe this, you know?”
Needless to say, with Pam’s expert guidance, I feel confident my little bernedoodle will live a long, healthy, happy life. Now: to hide the slippers and google how to potty train.
