Welcome dog lovers to another fantastic Wag Out Loud episode! With us today is Spencer Kottcamp, who is the GM for a popular dog company called K9 Sport Sack. He has been involved in the pet industry for the last 3 years and  has owned dogs his entire life.  Currently living in Utah with his dog Harvey, Spencer loves dogs and the great outdoors!

We all know how important it us for us and our dogs that we stay active, both physically and mentally.  And our dogs play off of our energy and habits, so if we tend towards the couch potato side, they will too. 

And unfortunately, in North America, obesity is the most common preventable disease in dogs. Approximately 25-30% of the general canine population is obese, with 40-45% of dogs aged 5-11 years old weighing in higher than normal.  Like us, overweight dogs are more likely to suffer from diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.

Spencer, why do you think these stats are so high? 

Why do you want to include Harvey in your outdoor activities?

Spencer, how do you and Harvey stay active?  What fun activities do you do together?

What types of products do you use to keep Harvey safe during all of your outdoor activities?

What makes your products different?

What went into the design and safety features?

And your Rover2 can actually hold up to an 80 lb dog?

And can you tell us about your No Dog Left Behind program?

Do people ever ask you about why put a dog in a backpack when they can just walk or run themselves?
