A Message from the Owner:

In 1992, after my first dog Kico was diagnosed with bone cancer, I was quite devastated and had the opportunity to work for Dr. Martin Goldstein, one of the finest holistic doctors in the country. The experience and knowledge gained from him has proven invaluable.

I grew up in an environment where I did not have to worry about food additives, by-products and food processing. My father cultivated almost everything that we ate, so that was how I viewed food then. I later learned how many additives and byproducts are unnecessarily processed into animal’s foods.

After cooking for my dogs for so many years, I still lost my second dog Alexander to cancer. This was a tremendous loss for me and I started learning more about dog nutrition and dog health. Alexander, my beloved buddy, these organic, healthy, Savvy Beast DogStars treats are dedicated to you!

I just know that you and your best friend will thoroughly enjoy DogStars with the confidence that I have made the best treats available.

My two Papillions, Ruben and Sebastian, have been my best taste testers, and overwhelmingly rate it five great big stars! With this sterling product, I feel confident that in some way I am contributing to better health for all dogs. That makes me feel very good. You can wag your tail on that!

Enjoy as you emBark! upon a fantastic health journey with your special pets.
