our treat story

I’m Deni, proud Fur-Mum to Preston (aka Mr P), my adorable 13-year-old Moodle with a whole lot of sass!

Let me tell you a little about how WAGS n' CO. got started...

A few years back, Preston started scratching like crazy, and I couldn’t figure out why. I thought it might be the grass or weeds at our new house. Off to the vet we went. After some meds to calm the itchies, I started thinking: maybe it’s his food? I scoured the supermarket but couldn’t find anything natural—just loads of fillers and preservatives. And let's be real, I wanted something healthy for Preston that wouldn’t break the bank!

So, I did some digging (pun intended!) and that’s how WAGS n’ CO. was born.

That’s when I took matters into my own hands! I started whipping up Preston’s dinners with human-grade turkey mince and fresh veggies like sweet potato, carrot, zucchini, broccoli, beans, and spinach. I even threw in some turmeric for his achy back legs (he’s got Luxating Patellas, poor guy). And guess what? Within two weeks, his itchy skin cleared up, and he was no longer scratching like a maniac! I wasn’t sure if it was the meds or the new meals, so I took him off the meds and… voila! No more scratching!

Since then, I’ve been making all his treats too. Supermarket stuff? No thanks! I started baking cookies and dehydrating meats – all 100% natural, without any additives. His current obsession? Peanut Butter, Banana & Carob cookies (he’ll do anything for one!). And don’t even get me started on the Turkey & Veg Jerky – that’s his ultimate fave treat!

I quickly realized that most store-bought dog food and treats are packed with stuff that just isn’t good enough for our fur babies. That’s why I make (and source) everything from scratch using only natural, human-grade ingredients. I even go organic where I can and always use grass-fed meats.
