The other email the Puerto Rico distributor sent me was this. Then we talked on the phone. I questioned the Walmart deal ? She explained that the Walmarts in her country, being a tourist country, they buy products made by locals to sell in their stores. I had said the line is very long here in the USA to get to meet with a Marketing person from Walmart to pitch ones product to them. Not the case in PR. One needs to bring their product to any local Walmart to show the stores Manager, he/she photographs it, with description of what the product is/does, then it is forwarded to the head Manager in PR for approval. Then the price negotiations begin. She said it is relatively easy getting hand made items on the store shelves of their Walmart stores.
I appreciate your quick response and information provided. I have no problems in working together as you grow and probably help you grow within our territory. I have liked your facebook page already. It would be excellent if you can tell me your current supply ability and you can sure be conservative. We can probably start by introducing the product to our market using our dog models and start spreading the word. We could start with the local shops and as you grow move to the big box stores. It would be perfect if you could put together a distribution price list with moq’s and a suggested wholesale price since the retail one is already established. It also would be perfect if we could get some samples of the different sizes. Our models are mainly Chihuahuas and Italian Greyhounds. I see the product is suggested by size. Since this is an island we get lots of storms and hurricanes so it is more like your current Texas case study. Probably what’s good there will be good here also. Let me know if you would like to move further. At our FB fan page we have almost 12,000 followers and we also have good reach on Instagram, twitter and Pinterest. This is definitely a cheap and effective way to spread the word.
Not sure, but I will have Pen and Paper ready. If I miss something. I have Unlimited, 30 min calls to their Tax Specialists, or Attorneys for the next Year... Unlimited sessions, 30 min's each.. {:>)))
Tomorrow I am doing a Web Consult With Leagal Zoom for 45 min's. Then 15 min's later a Tax Consultant is going to call me for a 30 min phone session, 1 one on 1. Take notes KC... Take Notes.... Lots of questions to ask.. LOTS....
No Chance Flo..... I am not Blond. Nor from the State of Virginia... Personal Tug in that Message... Not meant for you... {:>)))

I waited until Charlie was a yr old to get fixed, my vet wanted me to wait until year 2 if I could. Vet are now realizing with the large breed dogs that is lessens the chance of bone cancers if you don't fix them too early. Fixing them too early will cause them to become taller and have less bone density which could lead to the cancer issuer later in life.
Our Charlie is surprising good when it comes to the counter surfing issue. He goes in the kitchen, looks around, but that's it.
Weimi's, they are a great marketing tool.
He comes out with some pretty interesting photos.
Awesome shot trax, simply Awesome...
Orin said a few weeks ago. " Let's buy some fishing polls and go fishing. I said, " Okay, we need to get some fishing Licences then. Orin , " What ? " ya Orin, you need a permit to do this.... LOL
I know most breads don't have eggs. I just checked, the crescent rolls are egg free.. {:>))
I may have to find an alternative to the crescent rolls Flo. I have a feeling that their flake look means EGGS. You know how I love EGGS... {:>)))
Looks great to me.... {:>))
Thanks Jen, my head is just spinning at times. Lots of Legal things to do as time goes on. LLC was done 2 weeks ago. That was the basic first step. Trademark the name, patent the product, get a hold of packaging companies to throw me their spin on why they are the best business to choose to package our diffusers for the best price. Etc...
Chicken and Broc.. love that idea...
I have had 3 vets contact me that suggest Aromatherapy for their clients pets vs Western medications ( sedations ), but with using a room diffuser. They did not know there could be a 24/7 way to deliver Aromatherapy, until now. They are waiting for me to throw some Wholesale prices to them. I have also heard from boarding facility's, and people that want to buy in quantities to donate to their local shelters.
We only make about 20 -40 diffusers a week. I am now learning the process, A-Z, and withing a week or 2, I will have a small machine shop in my home so I can do the whole process. The designer of the diffuser, my business partner is a Machinist by trade, works 47 hr a week for the same company for 27 yrs and loves his job. I have more time available on my end to really crank them out than he does.
We are holding off on a Website for this reason. I can't call him and say we just got an order come in overnight for 300 diffusers. Ain't happening... but when we are prepared it will happen... soon... just a few more weeks... {:>)))
We are only a 6 week old company, and this has just Exploded in our face in a ways I did not expect. I knew it would be a popular item in the pet industry, but not quite this big ,this fast.
They use to sell Amox in pet stores for fish in my state. Not allowed anymore, and yes human grade 500 mg.
Yes there are room diffusers. I have 1, love it, going to get a second one. I will get back to you about this. Just renewed my IHUB.
The small difuser is a little over 1 inch in length, has less holes in it which allows the aromatherapy out, for small pets. You would not want to put a large 2 1/2 inch diffuser on a 4 lb Yorkie, it would drag on the ground, and the dog could chew on it. I set weights for the sizes, but I also ask for the breed, as I may direct the customer to a different size diffuser. They may want a large, but I may suggest a medium for example.
The blended oil from Young Living Essential Oils, Peace & Calming is the most widely oil used for Anxiety issues. Pets go threw Panic Attacks just as people do, and Weimis for example are on the top of the list for Separation Anxiety, and crating issues. This is all about Eastern Medicine which has been around for thousands of years. Hospitals threw out the country are embracing Aromatherapy and are offering it to their patients. Retail, Peace & Calming costs 43.09. Because the Aromatherapy can last for months in the cotton wick inside the diffusre, I am now offering to have the diffusers fully loaded, ready to wear. 2.00 extra for small diffusers, 3.00 for medium and large diffusers. For a large breed dog as a Weimi is, a large diffuser is highly suggested, a medium diffuser my not give enough Aromatherapy, at least I would not put a medium on our Charlie.
A 15 ml bottle of Peace & Calming is order here.

Once we get a Website going, we will offer all the products there. I also just bought hundreds of 1/6 dram bottles to sell small amounts of oil to customer that way.
I have spoke to 2 different women that use Essential Oils on their horses, and have for years with great results, but they add the oils directly on their horses daily, which is expensive. they have asked us to design an even larger diffuser for their horses. We can do that, and they will save at least 95% on their overall cost of oils.
Our 17 month old Weimi Charlie is still bouncing off the walls crazy nuts like any Weimi Pup is, but his male aggression towards another male dog in our home has stopped completely.
It hooks on the collar just like a name tag does. With 6 dogs, we have never lost a name tag before. The design of the diffuser has holes in it, and is designed for specific weights of pets. We just came out with a 4 size, extra large for pets 120 lbs and over.
A Dog vs a Humans nose :
We humans have about 5-6 Million receptors that allow us to smell. A dog has upwards to 300 MILLION, Yes 300 MILLION.
Young Living Essential Oils are the finest on the market. Extremely Concentrated. Just a few drops in a room diffuser and your home is smelling wonderful.
This is where the Pet Diffuser Pendants LLC comes into play. Many don't know about us, our product, but they will in time.
Many pet owners will place Young Living oils directly on their dogs, towards the back of the face to the ears. I did that to our 16 month old Weimaraner Charlie, using Peace & Calming once. Well never again friends. Just 2 drop of Peace & Calming on my hands, then rubbed onto the very back of Charlie face towards the ears/neck area. Our whole home smelled like Peace & Calming within minutes. Charlie was not happy. I put him outside to allow the air to dissipate the very strong oil aroma, and just stayed with "only" using his diffuser worn on his collar ever since.
The Weimaraner breed : their nose is directly attached to their brain, as are many breeds with long muzzles. it was a Sensory Overload for our Charlie. From now on we will only use the pet diffuser.
As a Distributor for Young Living, they have a great thing going on in the market of Aromatherapy for Pets, and I Love their product line, but friends can you imagine if you and I could smell any of these aromas, 10 times or 100 times stronger than what we do. Sensory Overload is all I can say.
Pet Diffuser Pendants LLC, gives a slow, controlled release of Aromatherapy, 24/7 to your Pet. Just a few drops on the cotton wick that goes inside, and that's it. Your Aromatherapy will last for months.
Info on Ordering : petdiffusers@yahoo.com
This all started because of our 17 month old Weimi Charlie. Charlie use to play with our 7 yr old Whippet Chance, but Charlie would force the play on Chance. After about 5 min's the Whippet was threw playing, but Charlie has no OFF button. Charlie use to force the Whippet to play at least 6 times a day. Well right around the 1st of June I could hear the playing, teeth clacking and high pitch whining. I could tell by the tone of the Whippets voice that things were heading in the wrong direction. Just seconds away from the living room, as I was running, Bam, the fight broke out. I was telling an acquaintance about the issue of Charlie becoming male dominant towards one of our male Whippets. That's when she told me about her Mom who deals in Aromatherapy Oils, and her Dad makes the diffusers just as a hobby. I went to meet them, bought the oil and a diffuser. I had Charlie in the car, put it on him and came home. I was Amazed. Charlie instantly left our Whippet alone, as though our male Whippet does not even exist in the home. I told a few FB friends about the Aromatherapy and how it can help dogs with a wide range of anxiety issues, Thunderstorms is a Big one for pets. I went back and bought a few more. I sold them in an hour to FB friends of mine. Then I told him I needed some more, and that is how all this started. Now the designer is a Machinist and has been for 30 yrs. he has a small machine shop in his basement, but only has time to make a limited amount per week. So I am now learning the process, and within a few weeks I will have a machine shop here at our home and will do about 80% of the process to we can ramp up production.
Here is one of many Testimonials.

I let it laps once in the past, so I have been getting all of the IHUB BS Ad's for quite some time now...
Well Flo, we do have to do Q-Reports..{:>)))
Yes, there is not a day that goes by that our Jacki Mama that we lost in May of 2013 does not enter my mind.
I am going to go to Free Status on IHUB for a bit as I am not able to spend time here, but I will be back.
Our Pet Diffuser Pendants LLC, Aromatherapy for Pets has taken off in a very big way. Sales for August almost 3000.00 , and we are only a 6 week old company. Aromatherapy for Pets is Huge. I have had several Veterinarians, Rescue Agencies, Shelters contact me because they are now suggesting Aromatherapy for there clients vs Western medications for Anxiety issues Pets can suffer from.
Last night I made a verbal agreement with a distributor from Australia to carry our products on their Website. I have been holding off on the wholesale part of the business as we need to ramp up production, which will change in the next few weeks.
Here is our Facebook site.

My Exact feelings Jen. 1000000%
Oh yes, it's coming where the Chip implanted will be GPS... I'm sure at first as many new product are, it will be expensive, but I would pay that price...
We had a woman in our city who recently was walking her 5 month old German Shepherd puppy. A car pulled up, a guy jumped out of the passenger side, with a gun I believe, took the puppy and they sped off. I just have a sinking feeling the puppy may be used as a bait dog to teach the Pit's how to fight...
I can't imagine the Panic the owners must have gone threw. You are my HERO Flo... [:>))
Glad you saw him. Had a few of those also over the years.
I am going to have to remember to take a look tonight.
I figure out how to post a pic of the Pet Diffuser Pendants. It's in the very bottom FB link. Someone was asking me " whats KC new " and this is what I posted.
I got involved in a start up company that I have officially named Pet Diffuser Pendants. It a pendant a pet wears on their collar, just like a name tag. Inside the pendant is a cotton wick that contains an oil called Peace & Calming. It's Aromatherapy for animals. We are the only company that make this particular design. Aromatherapy is Eastern vs Western medicine. Eastern medicine has been around for over 5 thousand years. Hospitals across the US are now using aromatherapy with their patients, the Cleveland Clinic being one of the most know hospitals in the US uses aromatherapy. I just found out that the hospital I use to work at uses aromatherapy in their Cardiac Unit.
I am only advertising this on FB right now, we don't have a website yet, as we are not prepared to get in a hundred order a day, and I can very well see that happening. Right now this is a word of mouth product. Just in the first 5 days of this month I did $ 850.00 in sales, we will soon be adding the line of Essential Oils to the product line. We just filed for Corporation status with our state and have been advised to trademark the product name, and also get a Patent on the product as no one else makes this.
I have been contacted by Veterinarians that are using aromatherapy oils with their clients, boarding facility's, groomers and other companies that have Websites selling pet products, all wanting the pet Diffuser pendants, some on the wholesale level.
I have a FB friend called " Antonio the Italian Greyhound " Antonio, the dog has his own FB site with over 5 thousand followers. The owner of Antonio, who also has 3 other Italian Greyhounds had to move and it has caused unending stress for her 4 dogs. I sent her 4 diffusers along with the Peace & Calming oil for free. The owner told me the positive affects the aromatherapy has had on her dogs was amazing. She posted a photo of Antonio wearing his diffuse and many are asking just what is that "thing" hanging from his collar. The owner said " exciting news is coming this week " and that will be the announcement of the Pet Diffuser Pendants on Antonio's FB site when I giver her the green light to talk about the product, and a Testimonial of how aromatherapy has helped her dogs.
Aromatherapy for Pets helps with many anxiety issues animals suffer from : Separation Anxiety, fear of riding in cars, thunderstorms ( that's a big one ) going to the groomers, dominance issues and many other things that in the past some people would medicate their pet for. I have even talked to 2 people that use aromatherapy with their horses, and have for years.
I am also a rep for Young Living Essential Oils, there about 100 thousand of us in the US, and I am now having oil reps contact me wanting diffusers to sell to their clients. Yikes, this is getting awfully big very quick....{:>)))
FB has a site about aromatherapy for animals here. https://www.facebook.com/groups/220738851372009/
I would post pics of the diffusers and info of the oils, but for the life of me I don't remember all the 5-6 stupid steps IHUB makes you go threw just to post a pic. With FB, it's basically 2 clicks of the mouse, and your pic is up.
Oh, here is Antonio wearing his diffuser. https://www.facebook.com/AntonioTheItalianGreyhound/photos/a.187189434643997.52268.185309228165351/891530917543175/?type=1&theater

Yes so many civil service jobs allow people to retire young, mid or earls 50's, then they just move into another job related field...
