Tell us about the human(s) behind your business!

[From Good Reason’s website] 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.

      Thanks Dannie! Isn’t it a great organization? What a wonderful idea!

  2. Companies like these are the reason I love buying from smaller companies 🙂 This is a wonderful and heartwarming feature! I agree that the pumpkin pb treats sound mouth-wateringly yummy!

    Such a great company with a great cause . The flavor that sound the best and the pups would probably go crazy for is Charlie’s Cheddar Chomps because they go crazy for cheese.

  4. What a wonderful company with great products!! It’s a win-win 🙂 I think the Tucker’s Tummy Ticklin’ Turkey flavor sounds delicious!

      Hi Fred! I’m not the actual Good Reasons company – you should reach out to them on their website: http://www.goodreasons.com. I can verify that they are great treats and that my dog loves them! 🙂
