Where #VanLife Meets Dog Life

Welcome back to the Juniper podcast! This week we’re getting to know our cohost Haley Young of Paws and Reflect and talking about how she lives on the road with her partner, Sean, and dog, Scout. Tune in for a dog-walk-length dose of imagining all the lives you can live with your dog. Then join the Juniper Community to meet more dog parents like you! 📍 Episode Highlights: Allison 3:50 — The relationship between the pet industry and tech — What’s been fun for me is that the pet space seems to be a little bit suspicious about tech and technology and tech solutions in pets. Which I’ve found really interesting and refreshing. Allison 6:05 — Taking the leap — It’s really easy for people to say, “I’ve only ever done this, so I can’t go into that.” I didn’t even really think about that. I just started a new company in pets, because that’s what I wanted to do. Allison 9:15 — How an active dog can change your workday — After I got Addie, my dog, I always joke about my step count going up. … We need to walk. We need to get out. We need to be running. We go running together now. So getting those ten to twelve thousand steps a day is a new non-negotiable. And when you start to put that into your workday, it changes everything. Allison 11:00 — Helping dogs helps people — At first I was like, “well I love dogs, so sure, let’s help dogs.” But now I realize that any time you’re doing that, you’re also helping people, too. It’s so interconnected. Haley 26:30 — How our content can support dog parents & dogs — I might factually understand a piece of information but I just haven’t touched it in so long, haven’t thought about it, and it’s not top of mind. A nicely curated piece of content can jog my memory and make me think, “oh yeah, when was the last time I gave Scout a designated chew?” 🦴 We love Optimeal and we think your dog will too.
