As you can see, I started my love of animals at a very early age. When my parents took me to the county fair for the first time, I was not interested in the tilt a whirl , but when they took me by the ponies that you could ride, I got on and would not get off without crying!!!

I have had a love of dogs, big or small, since I began to walk, so anytime I was around them , I found myself
smiling and wishing I could be around them all the time.
As I started school and became active in sports , I found myself involving my dogs in my training for track. You
might say it was the early stages of an agility course,
but I didn’t know that back then! I jumped hurdles, so consequently, my dogs all learned to jump as well.
I rode Quarter horses competitively most of my life with many fabulous awards, travel and recognitions that
I will never forget. As I became an adult, and I was
thinking of what I wanted to be when I grew up,
it always involved animals, but I knew I could never
be a veterinarian ( not good with the sad parts of the profession) out of necessity, I put it on the back
burner until now.

Many jobs have come and gone, but my love and passion for animals has remained a main stay of happiness in my life.
I am finally at a point in life where I decided to do what has enriched my life for ever and that is spend it surrounded by animals and the people that share my affection. I became very aware of the importance of good nutrition for my best friends, and have spent endless hours researching and sorting through what I feed my dogs and cats, that would provide them with a healthy life and maintain a good balance of nutrients and vitamins.

My shop is a reflection of what I believe, and that is healthy , nutritious, and palatable foods are a must in maintaining good balance mentally and physically.
