Alex Fees: I did no dogs ate smoothies.
Amy Wineka: Absolutely you know dogs deserve dessert too.
Alex Fees: Is that right?
Amy Wineka: Most people give their dogs something as a sweet treat in the evening. They don’t really need sugar. They don’t really need junk, right? So let’s give them something that’s fun and healthy and all natural.
Alex Fees: Well Joy, grab one. Show me what we’re talking about here. Mr. Barksmith’s Cool Treats.
Amy Wineka: Yeah. It’s an all natural smoothies for dogs and the beautiful thing about this is besides being made in America which we’re very proud of that that we can manufacture a great product at a great price right here in our country is their shove stable and that means we ship them to our customers be a UPS ground and then they sell them unfrozen in their store.
Alex Fees: Right, on facilities unfold right now.
Amy Wineka: And then the pet parents just take them home and freeze them so it’s really easy, it’s super convenient and the store doesn’t have to have a freezer.
Alex Fees: So what are they made of, what are the ingredients? Why is my dog going to like this?
Amy Wineka: Look at the ingredients, five things.
Alex Fees: Read them for me, Joy?
Amy Wineka: Apples, pear, bananas, vitamin C which is ascorbic acid and a little bit of peppermint and it’s that hint of mint which your dog have a little bad breath every now and then.
Alex Fees: No, not Piper.
Amy Wineka: Well, all of our Piper’s bodies have a little bit of bad breath going on. So when it’s frozen and the dog licks it, now we have a can interior. He has one every night when we have our dessert. It takes him five or six minutes to lick at and then he comes over to say thanks a lot and his breath is all refreshed from that just set hint of mint. We have a new peanut butter flavor as well.
Alex Fees: Really peanut butter. So this two is popular with dogs.
Amy Wineka: Yeah, peanut butter and banana. When you were a kid did you ever eat a peanut butter and banana sandwich?
Alex Fees: Absolutely, very popular.
Amy Wineka: We must have grown up in the cell thing that’s a real southern thing and so this is our new peanut butter on banana. We’re just introducing it at the show for the very first time.
