“Treating” Your Pet Better

Monday, May 19th, 2008

That’s our goal.  “Treating” your pets better.  We’ll ensure that we use human-grade, all natural, organic ingredients.  We make everything by hand - no preservatives, no artifical flavors.  All of the peanut butter in our Peanut Butter ‘n Molasses Treats is organic.  The tomato sauce in our Deep Dish Pizza Treats is 100% organic.  So, too, are the apples in our Oat ‘n Apple Treats.

But, for us, the organic, natural ingredients in our dog biscuits and treats aren’t the only essential part.  These things also taste and smell great.  Opening up a bag of our Peanut Butter ‘n Molasses Dog Treats the smell of pb comes on strong.  Maisy, our CTO (Chief Tasting Officer) loves them.  In fact, they’re the ones that launched the company.  Equally important is the impact they have our our dog.  Maisy is full of life and energy - and that’s because she’s only eating healthy stuff.
There’s nothing like peace of mind - when it comes to your “best friend”.  I remember back to the summer of 2007 and just about everyday another brand of dog food and treats was announced as being part of the worldwide recall because of poison in the ingredients.  Just like you guys, I was panicked.  That’s when we pulled up a bed for the Rooster (Maisy’s nickname) and dug into the PB jar.  We selected these high quality ingredients mostly because that’s what we feed ourselves.

So, isn’t it time to “treat” your dog better?  Pick the dog treats with integrity.

Starting up an Organic Dog Treat Business - From Chicago, with Love

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

Maisy a.k.a. The RoosterAfter the pet food scare of 2007, most owners weren’t sure who to trust.  The pet food brands that we had come to rely on in the past lost our trust and their food was getting recalled.  Natalie and I didn’t know where to turn.  We couldn’t find any healthy, organic dog treats that we could give our puppy Maisy (that’s her on the right).

We knew there had to be a better way to care for our dog.

12 months later, after spending plenty of hours elbow deep in organic peanut butter and rye flour, Maisy’s Organics was born!  Our goal is to create a better tasting, 100% organic treat that your dog will enjoy and will give you the piece of mind that you’re rewarding your best friend with something totally healthy.  We bake our treats fresh in Chicago, not China.   We’re still perfecting our recipes, assembling the business plan, getting certifed as well as getting set up business-wise, but we’re on the road to ….well….somewhere, but we hope it is the road to success.

We’d love to hear from you about what you’re doing to keep your best friends safe and healthy.  We’ll be rolling out more and more features, stories, and even an online store (hopefully!), so stay tuned to the feed or email subscriptions.

Our goal is to be as transparent in this process as we can be as we try to build a community of like-minded souls around Maisy’s Organics.  Thanks for checking us out and hang on for the ride!
