Go Fetch!
Michelle Conlan‘s three dogs loved to watch her bake. They would hover in the kitchen drooling up at her while she pulled her pans out of the oven. She would feel so badly when they realized the treats were not for them.
Michelle soon realized that she needed to give her dogs something more nutritious than what she was buying at the store. So she directed her baking skills towards her most loyal supporters. After researching foods that were healthy for dogs, Michelle discovered she already had the ingredients in her own kitchen.
Every ingredient Michelle uses in her Go Fetch! treats has a nutritional value for her pets. She dehydrates the treats therefore no preservatives are needed. Five flavors have been developed and have been approved by her three taste testers (the dogs!).
So now when her dogs realize the good smells are for them, the excitement on their faces is priceless!
Michelle also wanted her dogs to be comfortable in their own beds so she started making dog beds. Go Fetch! dog beds are all natural as well using organic buckwheat hulls and lavender. Buckwheat is like a natural form of tempurpedic as it forms to the dog's body and can be moved around to form a nest. It also keeps the pet cool as it allows air circulation. The lavender has a calming effect and is also a flea repellent. The outer lining of the bed is removable, so it can be washed and is also made in various fabrics to accommodate the changing seasons.
