This last week has been busy for Brittany and me, trying to find and come up with different recipes that will stick to our mission while also tasting good for our pups. Tonight was busy trying to make these recipes come to life. We are happy to report that a few of them worked, and while some didn’t, we are happy that we tried them. There were some other that made the cut, but we will be doing some tweaking to recipes to make them the best they can, not only for us, but for you guys too! We will be busy this week getting everything set, as well as getting our products page updated, our Etsy shop going, and our Facebook and Instagram live. In the meantime, here is a sneak peak and what we’ve been working on.
We have decided that we are going to be naming our treats after our own pets, as well as family members. As we add more treats, we will be asking customers for help naming treats using their social medias.
Harley
We decided to name this treat “Harley” after my dog, who has stinky breath! This is a simple treat, only containing 3 ingredients, at the most. We will be offering this treat three different ways: 1- Coconut oil and mint leaf, 2- Coconut oil, mint leaf, and pumpkin seed oil, 3- Coconut oil, mint leaf, and hemp oil.
Pumpkin seed oil and hemp oil have tremendous heath benefits for dogs, which we will get more into on the ‘products’ page.
Harley and Napa LOVED these treats and kept wanting more. While they didn’t make Harley’s breath minty fresh, it did help!
Sebastian
This one is named after Brittany’s dog, Sebastian. We decided to name this one after him because he LOVES peanut butter, and this is the main ingredient!
This is more of your ‘typical’ dog cookie, but is only made with 4 ingredients! This is a recipe that we are wanting to tweak to make better for everyone. Though our ‘tester’ dogs loved it, we feel the recipe can be better! (Did we mention doggy donuts?!)
There were a few others tried (photos below), along with some heavy-duty affordable leashes and our photo-op area for when we start to get the clothes and bandannas going. Stay tuned as we will be meeting again on Wednesday to get some more things in the works, as well as our shop up and going!
