Mud Bay Director Katy Miller Takes on Additional Role with BSM Partners

BSM Partners, a leading full-service pet care research and consulting firm, and Pacific Northwest-based pet retailer Mud Bay have strengthened their longtime partnership, with Dr. Katy Miller, Mud Bay’s Director of Dog and Cat Health and Nutrition joining BSM Partners as Director, Veterinary Services. This move highlights both parties’ commitment to improving the pet care industry for the benefit of dogs, cats and pet parents.

Miller will continue to work closely with Mud Bay’s category and education teams as well as Mud Bay’s manufacturing partners. Miller has extensive experience supporting retailers, retail employees, pet food companies and pet owners in the evaluation of veterinary inquiries on animal health and nutrition.

“For the last 11 years, Dr. Katy has been supporting Mud Bay, Muddies, and Mud Bay customers with compassion and well-researched solutions for dogs and cats. Our newest partnership with BSM will allow Mud Bay to keep Dr. Katy as one of Mud Bay’s trusted advisors, while also making her valuable expertise available to other like-minded manufacturers and retailers across the pet industry. In return, Mud Bay will be gaining additional access to BSM’s amazing staff of experts and well-documented research to help develop Mud Bay’s next generation of solutions for dogs, cats and pet parents,” said Al Puntillo, Co-CEO of Mud Bay.

“Dr. Katy is a highly-regarded veterinarian and pet care professional, and we are delighted to have her join our industry-leading team,” said Dr. Bradley Quest, Principal, Veterinary Services at BSM Partners.
