From the desk of the Founders, our first newsletter. Looking forward to introducing ourselves here on X and growing a community of fellow dog lovers looking for better health solutions for our pups.

Back at the farmhouse for a few days. Beautiful weather in EasTX. I reached out to two more supplement manufacturers Friday so hopefully hear back from them early this week 🤞 Lou & I will enjoy ourselves regardless…
This is encouraging to read. A Slobber Society super supplement is the goal...
"The category showing the most resilient growth right now isn’t food—it is "preventive" wellness. Supplements, OTC treatments, functional ingredients."

Following months of activism, 1,500 beagles are being released from the Ridglan Farms testing facility to animal rescue groups: the Beagle Freedom Project and Big Dog Ranch Rescue. To all the dogs being released, we wish you many years in loving homes. 14/10 for all
No rooster needed. With sun beaming through the window and the smell frying bacon permeating under the door, Louie is bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning!
Just got off my first discovery call with a huge contract manufacturer. They handle all the product development for David Beckham's @im8health powdered supplement line ($120M ARR first twelve mos). They don't have an in-house vet or animal nutritionist yet so two main action steps resulted:
1. Source the primary differentiating ingredient I'm interested in using, powdered beef blood from grass-fed cows. They don't carry it and have never used it in any other brand's product lines.
2. Find an independent contract formulator or start with a different contract manufacturer w/in-house pet nutritionist.
The guy I talked to was straight forward and informative. Even suggested I may want to start with a manufacturer geared better for startups. His machinery is so large for big runs that they don't even offer pilot runs to test initial product prior to full orders.
Good news is i have a long list of manufacturers bookmarked and ready to contact 😎
