Meet Ken & Norm

Norm Shrout

Co-owner of Long Leash On Life®, a health food store for dogs and cats in the Northeast Heights of Albuquerque.

Background and Objectives

A graduate of Cornell University, he is a pet health advocate, pet nutritional counselor and long-time supporter of local pet rescue. His ongoing objective includes educating dog and cat parents on basic nutritional concepts as a preventative type of ‘insurance policy’ toward their pet’s good health and well-being. This theme encourages pet parents to take an active role in their pet’s health by utilizing the best quality food ingredients possible and not relying exclusively on what highly processed food affiliates may claim as “good.” His latest community outreach project involves educating dog parents on building more enriching relationships with their dogs through positive interactions and gentler training methods.
