About the Owners

Amanda and Jeff have been pet parents before meeting each other at VCU in a statistics class (what are the odds). As their relationship blossomed so did their love for their pets having 2 dogs and a cat. Time went on and their family grew. Jeff worked for many Pet food manufacturers and would bring home his knowledge of products, ingredients, benefits and complexities of the pet food industry. Later on they purchased a small pet food company and gained more knowledge of the industry, products and companies. Currently, Amanda and Jeff have 2 Human boys. Two dogs (Walley and Birdie) and will have a store cat. They live in the neighborhood so don't be surprised to see them walking around, but the treats will probably be in the store.
