This Is our Story

Elyse & Sweet Pea

I’ve always been crazy about dogs. In May 2003, my husband and I were lucky to become the proud parents of Sweet Pea, an adorable Cocker Spaniel puppy, and our first dog together. She won us over instantly, finding her place at the foot of our bed and the center of our lives. She also became my partner as I transitioned into a runner, and our runs together have been a special highlight of my life ever since. Living in the extreme heat of Arizona, I noticed early on that Sweet Pea’s paw pads were really getting worn. They were looking run-down, even though she was still a pup.

They soon had tags and cracks, and I wanted nothing more than to find her some relief. (Not to mention, our couches and bedding were quickly showing puppy-wear!) The worst part, and the turning point, was seeing how much time she spent licking her paw pads.

Determined to find a solution, I started looking to see what products were available. I was surprised to find that there was literally nothing to match our needs, of being natural, safe, and easily absorbed.

It seemed I had a new calling and a career change, and I never looked back!

A lot of research and over a year later, with help from a great friend; an herbalist, natural product & peptide chemist with an impressive background in zoology and botany (amongst other things) produced more than what was envisioned originally when looking for a product for Sweet Pea’s paw pads.

I have continued creating natural products to improve Sweet Pea’s life, and hope to improve your dogs’ lives as well!
