HealthyPetNet Convention 2009

Teresa with Trilogy founder, Dennis Berardi

Would it be okay if I go a little off-topic and tell you about a pet products convention that I attended this weekend?

The Trilogy International HealthyPetNet Convention was held in Tampa, Florida May 2 – 4, 2009.   As an independent rep since January 2006, this was the first year that I was able to attend.  It was an outstanding convention and I will never miss another one. 

It was filled with the “basics” of key Trilogy “people, pets, and planet” products, including the HealthyPetNet line and the SeaLogix Fish Oil.  Highlights for me came from HealthyPetNet product formulator, Dr. Jane Bicks, DVM, and from a scientist with Biodroga, the Canadian company that manufactures the SeaLogix products.

I must tell you, there was no hoopla.  Dr. Jane is 100% focused on natural products that improve our pets’ health.  She is a veterinarian;  money and bottom line are not at all her concern and it was clearly evident.  As she said many times, “The animal comes first”.  She gave presentations on the Top Three Pet Health Concerns, Answering Common Product Questions, and product info, in general. 

I have used holistic pet foods for ten years and HealthyPetNet for three years.  There is no doubt in my mind that this is the finest natural pet product out there.  You can see it in your pet’s health and skin and coat. 

Stay tuned!  We were all very excited to learn that Dr. Jane is working on a natural flea and tick remedy.  Hopefully, it will be out later this year.

Biodroga gave a very dry technical lecture undoubtedly meant for the medical community.  Nevertheless, as an ardent fish oil user, I was fascinated and took copious notes.  Watch for upcoming articles devoted to fish oil. 

Prior to this lecture, I never fully understood the nature of fish oil contamination and product quality and if I found one product too expensive, I would pick another.  It’s not hard to find $ 5 bottles at the grocery store.  Never again!  From this time on, I will only take an IFOS 5-star!!  SeaLogix is my preferred brand and I will just make sure never to run out because it is far less expensive, per 1,000 mg, than any of the other 5-stars. 

 The take-home message of the Biodroga lecture is QUALITY COUNTS.  If you are buying anything less than an International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS) rating of FIVE, you are essentially buying REJECTS of the high quality products. 

Trilogy International is, like many of the holistic pet food companies, fairly small.  Its company officers are intelligent and real, not at all snobbish.  They remembered our names as we passed them in the hallways and on several occasions, sat to dinner with us.  After hearing their presentations, it’s clear that they know their stuff.

This convention brought home a point to me that this company only wants to bring the best, the safest, products to market.  I am a huge fan of all of the pet products and the pet-safe floor wash and SeaLogix fish oil, but I learned enough that I want their other products, as well.  I want the very highest quality and the very safest products.  

If you have an interest in earning income as an independent rep, write to me via the Contact Us tab on my website.  Trilogy has a BBB rating of A+ and are the only “at home” business where I’ve actually been able to make money.  It’s a natural among pet people and pet professionals.  I love to show people how to do this!

Here are some photos from the convention…
