A veterinary industry consultant and former Petco executive has been named consulting veterinarian for the Petland retail chain.<\/p>\n

Thomas Edling, DVM, MSpVM, MPH, will help Petland, which sells puppies and kittens in addition to pet supplies, \u201cevolve our industry-leading animal health protocols,\u201d company President and CEO Joe Watson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPetland cares about the health of our pets before they arrive at our stores, while they are in our care and after they go home,\u201d Watson said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Edling, who earned his master in specialized veterinary medicine (MSpVM) in 2001 from North Carolina State University, said he wants to build upon \u201cPetland\u2019s 51 years of raising standards of care.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to continuing my life\u2019s passion of improving the health and welfare of animals in the pet industry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Edling served as vice president of veterinary medicine at Petco<\/a> for 15 years until he started a consulting firm in February 2018.<\/p>\n

More than 100 Petland franchise stores operate in the United States, Canada, Brazil, China, El Salvador, Japan, Mexico and South Africa.<\/p>\n

Petland is headquartered in Chillicothe, Ohio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
