Meet our tasting team

Maddy " The Boss"

Maddy was our tasting team leader. She loved our chicken jerky, chasing squirrels, long walks at the park, and being told she was pretty — and she wasn’t shy about bossing the rest of the crew around.

Maddy was diagnosed with liver cancer in May 2024 and was laid to rest at age 15 on December 30, 2024. There will always be an empty spot in our hearts.

Franky

Franky was a Shepherd/Coonhound mix who never met a treat he didn’t like — beef lung was his absolute favorite. At age 12 he developed noticeable hip dysplasia and struggled on our evening walks. At 13 we started him on a daily dose of our 1000mg CBD oil and he was soon back on his feet running with the pack. By 14 the dysplasia had become more severe, so we got him a quality wheelchair and managed to keep some of his spark alive.

Mary

Mary, age 16, didn’t have many teeth left, so our beef tripe was just right for her. Don’t let that fool you — she could still grub with the best of them. When she wasn’t eating treats she was either waiting for the next one or sunbathing.

After Pickles passed, Mary fell apart and we had to say goodbye.

2008 – 2024

Pickles

Pickles, age 10, was born on the streets of San Bernardino. Don’t let her looks fool you — she would shank anyone in the hood that was slippin’.

In her later years she dealt with dementia along with vision and hearing loss, but wherever she was mentally she stayed a happy, extremely food-motivated pup. She received a daily dose of our 2000mg CBD for the severe anxiety that came with her dementia.

Her condition eventually led us to make the hard decision to say goodbye in 2024.

Frenchie

Frenchie lived to age 21 and passed away on February 17, 2017. She was our inspiration for making homemade treats for senior dogs. She may no longer be with us, but she is still part of our team and always in our hearts.

Maise, aka Ninja

Maisie is 8 years old and known as the Ninja. This sneaky little devil can often be found lodged under blankets with a stockpile of stolen treats.

She brings so much joy to our lives.

Fezzik

Fezzik is our youngest and largest team member at 5 years old and over 100 lbs. When he isn’t shredding Amazon packages, begging for walks, or diving into the trash can when we leave, Fezzy likes to settle down with a thick cow hide or cow ear while contemplating what damage he can do tomorrow.

Milly & Meadow

These little monsters were found in a box and we felt compelled to bring them home. Our cow hides keep them occupied while they experience full Beast Mode.
