329: Meeting High Standards with Lauri Partanio

Finding your niche is a great way to establish yourself as an expert and the "go to" company for that need. It also means dealing with much more particular, and sometimes demanding, clients. Lauri Partanio, owner of Professional Pets Florida LLC, has made it her mission to meet the needs of medically needy and senior pets. Lauri explains the way she's partnered with pet-friendly companies to grow awareness and be a member of her community. She also shares how she has implemented lockboxes for her clients, and the freedom it brings.

Main topics:

Why find a niche
Partnerships
Lockbox policy
In-Person events

Main takeaway: Listen to feedback and suggestions, but never compromise on your beliefs and policies.

About Our Guest:

Hi! I'm Lauri!

I'm a New York City native relocated to Plant City, FL.

In 2014, I started my animal career as a veterinary receptionist. From there, climbed the professional ladder & went onto become an exotics specialty veterinary assistant, companion animal veterinary assistant, companion animal veterinary technician, and finally Animal Control & Welfare Officer.

My background of veterinary medicine and animal welfare have helped me mold Professional Pets to reflect the core values that I believe every animal should be treated with: safety, dedication, patience, and compassion.

At Professional Pets, we specialize in anxious, special needs, medically needy, and senior pets; but open our arms to all friends whether furry, feathered, scaly, or slimy!

We have an American Bully named Zoey as well as an American Staffordshire Terrier named Luna Tuna in addition to two Boxers, Rico & Lilo.
