Give Pet • Overland Park, KS • Est. 2016 • Gives Back
Chris has always had a passion for dogs. And ever since his family adopted his first dog, Lummox, when he was five years old, he’s also been passionate about giving back to animal shelters. At first, it was just donating to the local shelter when he, his wife and three kids could. But after 112 years working in the premium pet food industry – that’s 16 in human years – Chris saw an opportunity to do something that could make a mastiff, er, massive impact for shelters nationwide. You see, Chris knew that training dogs for adoption requires a steady stream of healthy treats. He also knew that there are millions of warm-hearted dog owners out there that would be thrilled to buy a premium, natural product that gives back to animal shelters they love. From there, GivePet was born. A portion of the profits from every bag goes back to one of their shelter partners in the form of the very same treats they sell to dog owners across the country.

Good Reasons Dog Treats • North Salem, NY • Employs those w/Special Needs • Gives Back
Good Reasons® was bred from a love of all living creatures and a deep understanding of the value of a diverse, inclusive society. As the CEO of Community Based Services, Good Reasons’ founder, Vicki Sylvester, PhD., has been an advocate for the disabled community for over 30 years. When the state of New York asked its network of providers to help create jobs for people with disabilities, Sylvester decided to combine her love of animals with her professional experience to create a company committed to making a meaningful difference. Three Brown Dogs Barkery, LLC. was born. Named for Sylvester’s own trio of tail-waggers, Three Brown Dogs Barkery, LLC. serves up delicious, all-natural dog treats with a recipe stirred together by chef Allan Katz, an alumnus of The Culinary Institute of America, and produced by an integrated workforce. As Three Brown Dogs Barkery, LLC. started to claw its way to the top of the dog treat trade, Sylvester sought out a new name for the company that was more reflective of its overall mission and values. She decided to change the name of the brand to Good Reasons®. “We want to let our customers know that by buying our dog treats their pets get to experience the best human-grade, tasty treats on the market while helping people with autism and other special needs achieve independence through the power of an integrated workplace,” explained Sylvester. “We are a company that employs people with and without special needs in an inclusive, supportive environment. We’re here to sell dog treats, create opportunities and prove to other companies that hiring people with disabilities works!” With each and every purchase you make, you’re not only offering your best friend a dog treat, you’re providing an opportunity for a more productive and meaningful life to people of all abilities.

The Lazy Dog Cookie Co., Inc • Ballston Spa, NY • Woman-Owned • Gives back
In 2001, Amy decided to combine her love for dogs with a simple recipe from her home oven to create The Lazy Dog Cookie Co. She started by giving peanut butter treats to friends and co-workers for their dogs. The response was amazing, so she decided to take space at an open-air farmers market in York, Pa. Keith and Amy were a little skeptical about setting up at 7:00 am on a Saturday to sell dog treats. However, the customers embraced their products. Slowly they added a few local markets and pet stores but stayed focused on farmers markets and weekend festivals. After a short two-year stay in Pittsburgh, PA, they moved to Grand Rapids, MI. In 2004, Amy decided to exhibit at theirr first pet product industry tradeshow. It was the first time Amy saw what Lazy Dog could become, and realized this could be her career. Their stay in Grand Rapids was short. After only 18 months they had an opportunity to move closer to home and settled in Saratoga Springs, NY. For the third time in less than six years Amy set up her bakery - in the garage - and kept spreading the word about the benefits of wheat-free treats for dogs. Only one short year after relocating to Saratoga Springs, Keith and Amy decided to take a leap of faith and focus our combined efforts on Lazy Dog. Keith resigned his Corporate Sales position with Heinz Ketchup and joined Amy full time.
