Clear Conscience Petwon Virgo’s 2012 award for animal nutrition at the Supply Side West show in Las Vegas.“We named the company Clear Conscience Pet to reflect our philosophy of uncompromising quality, holistically balanced nutrition, and ethical and fair business practices,” said Bennie.  “This philosophy directs every aspect of how we source, make, and formulate our treats, natural chews, and our SuperGravy food enhancer,” he added.

The company recently launched its new Sliders® brand of holistic dog treats, thus joining the SuperGravy® brand, the patent-pendingOSV line of flax and vegetable coated treatsand chews, andCruncherz Organic grain and gluten free dog biscuits. Although the company is fairly new, Bennieis a twenty year veteran of the natural pet food industry and has published numerous articles in the field as well as presentingseveral guest lectures on dog and cat nutrition at Cornell and other colleges of veterinary medicine.  

"Confessions of a Pet Food Salesman," will debut at this year’s event and promises to be controversial in some circles. “We want to be remove the veil and look at some of the marketing gimmicks and outright deception that have all too often characterized the pet food industry,” said Bennie. “As an industry insider, I have been privy to what happens behind the scenes and if it offends some people that I am going to share this information, so be it. My goal is not to sensationalize, but to educate. It is my hope that consumers, ingredient suppliers, and manufacturers will be both entertained and enlightened to make better choices in product formulation and choices for their own animal companions.”
