1251. TV Host Helps Pet Product Entrepreneurs

QVC’s Carolyn Gracie loves her animals. Besides a house full of rescues, she also is quick to bring a pet into the QVC fold. “If you want to sell-out a product, bring a pet on TV with you,” Carolyn advises. She regularly pitches products from small up-and-coming pet product entrepreneurs. Also, Lisa Hennessy decided she was done with commercial dog food for her Collie. She started creating healthy, fresh dishes that her dog could share with her. Lisa tested dozens of recipes and compiled them into several cookbooks. She’s here to share some of her recipes with you. Also, how much would you spend to try and find your dog if he got lost? The sky is the limit it seems for Janet Mihalyfi of Georgetown. Her 5-year-old, Rottweiler mix, Havoc, has been missing for a year this month. So far she’s spent $35,000 dollars trying to find him. Also, when Mary Krupa befriended a wild squirrel, she learned that she could easily dress “Sneezy” up and take photos of the rodent in hats and clothing. Now, she regularly meets up with the squirrel for photo sessions. Also, testing cosmetics on animals has recently been banned in Europe and India and a similar ban here in the United States will be on the front burner when the new Congress convenes in January. Virginia Democrat Don Beyer is expected to take the lead on the issue. Their state, Virginia, is home to several big cosmetic companies. And finally, the nurse in Spain who recovered from Ebola, but whose dog Excalibur was killed by Spanish Health authorities, is suing. Teresa Romero’s lawsuit seeks the equivalent of $186,000 for the loss of her dog and another $186,000 for damage done to her name.
