We all have people we meet along the way, connect with and know we adore. Meet Rachel Meyer!

Rachel loves dogs and people and her treats are a favorite with all the cool pooches in Asheville. We are so thrilled to have her tell her story.

Q: Tell us a little bit about you, your company and your company's mission. 

A: We are a clean label dog treat business - our treats are made with superfoods adaptogens and lots of peanut butter. I started the business because my picky rescue pup wouldn't eat a lot of treat brands.

During the pandemic, with time on my hands I started to experiment with recipes and ingredients and made treats at home. I made too many treats and gave them out to friends. They encouraged me to sell them. Little by little I stepped out and sold at farmer's markets and it took off. I am committed to creating plant based snacks for dogs and using sustainable business practices.

We give back to animal rescue. Our snacks have names like Balance & Calm, Inner Glow and Flower Power. We offer sample size treat bags, large size treat bags and even treat jars.

Our botanical illustrations on our packaging are beloved and people find our brand resonates with their desire to provide healthy plant based snacks to their dogs.

Q: What is your superpower?  Tell us about a moment you recall that your superpower served you?

A: Storytelling and building community! I love to share our stories on social media and my tiktoks tell our community about our products but also about my family and my business. One could say that I am transparent about the ups and downs of building a business. 

Q: What are your rituals for self-care, healing or de-stressing? Is there a special place you go?

A: I always do a morning meditation.I also journal.  I like to dry brush & Gua sha. I do yoga and pilates! I am a busy mom, wife and entrepreneur but I am focused on keeping myself sane.

Q: With which Chakra do you most identify and why?

A: The Heart chakra. You can tell from my packaging that I am creative, from my social media that I am a lover of people and pets, and from my ingredients I am focused on healing. I love donating money and products to causes like pet rescue.
