Quotes- " Dog, cat and horse care, on the other hand, is "something I believe in."
- "My dogs always slept on my bed so you certainly want them to be clean and smell nice. That was my goal in developing these products. To me, the phrase 'man's best friend' is no exaggeration. My dogs have given me so much happiness, love and companionship over the years, I wanted to give them my best in return. That's why I spent the last four years developing and fine tuning a unique line of the finest pet care products."
