Brooke Shields
Interview with Publisher, Susan Sims
Brooke Shields is Brand Officer for Prospect Pet. Fresh off the release of her best-selling book Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old and the launch of her age-positive haircare brand Commence, Brooke is expanding her mission into a new space: pet wellness.
Brooke Shields is a mother, acclaimed actor, best-selling author, entrepreneur, and founder of Commence. She recently wrapped production on You’re Killing Me, a new series she stars in and executive produces that is set to debut on AMC Networks’ Acorn TV in 2026.
A two-time Golden Globe nominee and five-time People’s Choice Award winner, she has captivated audiences with her diverse roles and enduring presence in the entertainment industry. Beyond the spotlight, Brooke is a lifelong animal advocate—and now, she’s bringing that advocacy to Prospect Pet.
I recently had the opportunity to ask Brooke Shields about her mission into pet wellness with the brand Prospect Pet on my Podcast, FIDO Friendly Travel Talk.

What led you to lend your celebrity status to Prospect Pet?
Brooke Shields
I was lucky enough just by chance to be introduced by mutual friends to Prospect Pet that was started on a farm in Maine. I got to know the owners and really began to get educated on what we put on our pets’ bodies, and they deserve the same type of consciousness that we are starting to focus on ourselves. I just love the DNA of Prospect Pet and wanted to align myself with them to get the message out to really protecting our pets the way they deserve to be taken care of. I’ve had dogs that have had hip problems, joint problems and terrible problems with their skin. I wish that Prospect Pet had been around when I had my earlier dogs, it would have given them a lot of comfort and protection.
