There have been some tragic incidences within the Pet food industry over many years and a multitude of issues have finally come to light. Megaesophagus, paralysis, kidney failure, liver failure, plastics contamination, high levels of mercury, cancers, mnoulds, food recalls a plenty.

This led me to examine what actually goes into those dog training treats that come off the shelves. What effect do they have on my dogs health? Behaviour? My clients dogs health?

Am I poisoning dogs by the use of the overly processed products? Where are these foods coming from now? Australian owned? Offshore? What are the regulations that should be protecting our pets from product content?

My journey from there led along the path of sustainably and locally sourced meat that could then be dried into a training treat that was pure protein, no chemicals and very high value to the dog being trained. A lot of the clients dogs I see are very well fed so any extra training food needs to be of a high value. Not many owners will remove a dogs daily intake and use it for training instead of giving it away for free.

I try to live along the Permaculture principles of minimum waste, ecologically friendly, minimise food miles etc. So I combined these principles with my Chef experience and came up with a range of products to fit many training requirements.

So the Brownie range was born. From it's early stages of development and just starting out in sales to what I have now in my online shop! I hope this range of products helps you all in your training journey and brings back safe, nutritious, high value rewards for your dogs.

Yes this whole range has been tested on animals (the jerky has also been 'tested' by many handlers also) and I hope that these products bring as much satisfaction to your dogs as they do mine.
