Or how about that time you expressed a need for something in your local store, only to receive an annoyed smile from the salesperson, who promised to “inform the manager”? Similar to a lone sock lost in the dryer, most customer suggestions vanish without a trace.

This feedback directly influenced our decision to launch the Calming CBD Cat Chews, which are designed to meet the nuanced needs of feline companions… The feedback from our retail partners has been instrumental in shaping our approach to product development. There's been a persistent demand for cat-specific chews and non-CBD options, which we've now successfully addressed," says Argueta.
