In this episode, I’m talking to Josie Gonzales, the inventor of a solution specially designed for people raising puppies. Her invention, the Puppy Nanny looks like a stuffed animal dog, but it’s equipped with 6 feeding nipples for nursing puppies. Josie came up with the idea when she was raising a litter of 11 pups who needed bottle fed and she just didn’t have enough hands for that!
With my recent foster work, I’ve heard so many stories about puppies who are separated from their mamas, and Josie told me that some mama dogs don’t produce enough milk for their litter. For the right customer, Puppy Nanny is a must-have item! I enjoyed talking to Josie and hearing about how she’s getting this new invention into the hands of breeders and rescues.
We also talk a bit about the manufacturing process and what’s next in the Puppy Nanny family. I love talking to entrepreneurs and inventors who create solutions like this. It’s a very specific product, but when the right person is in need, this is a must have!
As you listen, think about your own business and what you provide that is a MUST HAVE for a specific customer. If you don’t do everything you can to get your amazing product or service into their hands, you’re actually robbing them of that experience. I know it’s dramatic! But this is a piece of advice I got from Marie Forleo when I went through B-School. Marie is always reminding me that the world needs that special gift that only you have.
Maybe your special gift is bottle feeding puppies, or maybe it’s a unique way of helping reactive dogs, or even the special touches you add to every order you send out. You need to make sure that the people who need what you got… can find you! Learn more about B-School while enrollment is open!
Puppy Nanny Makes Bottle Feeding Puppies Easier
Josie Gonzales is the inventor of Puppy Nanny, a first of its kind multi-puppy feeding system. When her family boxer unexpectedly became pregnant and gave birth to 11 puppies, momma was not producing enough milk for the entire litter and left her human family with the responsibility of bottle feeding. Josie wasn’t able to find anything at local pet stores that could help with this issue so she invented Puppy Nanny.
