WEBSITE PROBLEMS

Not sure what's going on, but yesterday's "add to cart" issue still isn't fixed and today Wix is saying that they are having messaging issues.

If you need food PLEASE EMAIL directly - not through Wix.

❗Message us at [email protected] and let us know what you're trying to order so we can invoice you directly through PayPal or QuickBooks.❗

Sorry for this huge inconvenience.

In addition to raffling off a year's worth of either formula to the winner 🏆, my friend hand made these collars to be included in the drawing. They will last a lifetime. Double ply, solid brass or stainless steel hardware, and the rings are sewn in the correct spot for an agitation type collar. They are not so wide, however, that they could not be a day-to-day collar for all but small dogs.

Winners can choose their collar in the order of the drawings.

Please do not message this page. Please go to this link.https://www.facebook.com/share/1B8oPQAGsJ/

Follow this page and send a message to be included in the raffle. You will receive a message detailing how to purchase the raffle tickets. They are $10 each . Please state which lots you are interested in.

Whew! That was not as easy as planned. 😂

We ended up subbing out our officiant.

And the winner is...Claire Ransom!

Free bag drawing postponed until tomorrow, Saturday 8pm. Sorry for late notice but I had terrible connectivity.

Just wanted to share one of our great testimonial entries.

Thanks, Uncle Jim. 😂

The sad part is, if you own a business or are in customer service or retail, you might not be positive it's a joke.

Don't forget to submit your testimonial and/or photo for consideration! Drawing at 7pm CST.

As we get closer to unveiling the new website, we are looking for a few more professional - quality photos of actual customers and their dogs who would like to share a short testimonial on the site. (Since you'll have written it anyway, a copy/paste of it posted on this page as a review wouldn't hurt, either).🙃

You're welcome to submit just a testimonial if you don't have a great quality photo. All testimonials will be added, but due to factors like sizing, colors and framing, we can't promise all photos will make it to the website.

⚠️YOU MUST OWN THE PHOTO OR HAVE PERMISSION to use it.

⚠️ Email entries as attachments to [email protected]

🐕 All submitted entries will be entered into a random drawing for a 15lb bag of food. I cannot enter you if I don't have your name and address.

Drawing will be held Friday evening at 7pm. Jacob (pictured) will be officiating.

I know most of you saw my tariff post. Hopefully, this 30-day reprieve lasts longer than that, but regardless, something we need to address is the cost of shipping.

I am aware there are huge objections to our shipping charges. I realize that the Amazon culture means that people think we should offer "free" shipping. But, please understand shipping is NEVER "free." Shipping is ALWAYS paid by the consumer- but some companies hide it in the product cost, typically accomplishing this by selling you inferior quality products with the full cost of shipping built in.

We are manufacturing and shipping a heavy product. There is no way around shipping charges. I could do what the others do and sell you a cheap product, add the cost of shipping to the price and then announce "FREE SHIPPING" on the website, but that's not honest.

In keeping with total honesty going forward, although we are going to need to alter some price points, we have decided we will not change how we present shipping just to leave you wondering how much is food and how much is shipping. You are still going to see your shipping charges separate from your purchase amount. At the end of the day, I am just too stubborn to give into that pressure and I think most of you are too smart to believe I'm really shipping you anything "free," anyway.

But, I still want to show you what we're up against in the freight department. In my usual (often unwelcome) show of complete transparency, here is a recent page of an invoice from our warehouse. ‼️These are the actual charges we pay FedEx with a tier 1 discount.‼️

Please look at these actual freight charges then remember we have fulfillment, boxes and storage fees on top of those. Nobody has been charged the full shipping amount since we began. There are many entries with $35 in freight, even though we only charge that area $21.99.

Unfortunately, with ingredients continually increasing and refusing to change our formula like most have done, we no longer have the margins to eat those extra freight dollars.

In the coming weeks, we are going to go through and fine-tune some of our shipping rates by state and in some instances, ZIP code to try to make it more fair. It's pretty obvious from these numbers who is in FedEx territory and who is in SpeeDee zone. These are all with a FedEx tier 1 discount- this isn't something that can be reduced. If you took a bag of food to UPS or FedEx as a walk-in and tried to send it, you'll see what I mean.

LAST CALL!

September/October 2024 Fall Pallet Sale is on! All pallets SHIP FREE when you pay up front, before we wire the funds to manufacture the run. This has worked so well in the past, we're going to offer it again- it helps everyone. It helps us plan for the right size run and not get wiped out suddenly from unexpected pallet orders, and it helps us fund the run, too. Most of all, it helps customers on shipping when they share freight, and we are able to offer this savings when we're not shipping it twice (IE, from Canada to our warehouse and then from our warehouse to your door).
EMAIL [email protected] to be invoiced. Please note what form of payment you plan on using, as certain forms have associated fees, as well as whether you require a lift gate, straight truck, or if a regular semi can deliver it.
⚠️If you are a wholesale customer, or believe you should be, please note "WHOLESALE PALLET ORDER" in the subject line and we'll get you an exact price.
💲Pallets are $4250 shipped, which is just $65/bag!
Please share!
