BIO:
As a consultant in the pet food space, I saw the inferior ingredients and substandard processes used to make mass-market pet food. I went to work to find a healthy solution for my dog Winston and PetPlate was born.
Next, I moved into a commercial kitchen space - where lots of new food companies are born - and consulted with Dr. Streeter on formulating the meals for optimal nutrition. I learned a lot in those days about cooking, nutrition, and dogs in general. As more and more pups signed up for PetPlate, I grew out of the commercial kitchen into a professional cooking facility where human food is made! That’s right, our food is good enough to be made in a human-food facility. We are now able to ship our meals to pups all over the country.
The best part is hearing from pet parents about what a difference PetPlate has made in their lives and the lives of their dogs. Our food is enjoyed by all kinds of dogs, including dogs with ailments who normally have trouble eating, picky dogs who refuse to eat kibble, and dogs who will eat just about anything!
