Little Diku was a year old when she got him-- he was a puppy mill survivor.  

He had health issues like a URI and Ehrlichia, a tick born disease.  

His mom tried every kind of dog food, and treats and he turned his nose to everything.    Diku would only eat beef jerky-- but it was all made in China.  There are no controls there on quality.

So, his mom began to research how to make healthy dog food and treats- and Grove Naturals was born.    Diku had a compromised immune system, so he needed good food.  

Olive joined the family.   She was also a puppy mill survivor.

The puppy miller's words were "Take her, she is gonna die anyway."    Olive made it!   In fact, she turns 7 today!   Happy Birthday, Olive!

Olive has a liver shunt and so her mom developed a treat that had pineapple and papaya, because these fruits are particularly good for her as they aid in digestions and keep her regular.

Oh, yes, she likes those treats!!    What a beautiful girl-- she and Diku have come so far.    And the company began because of the great love their mom had, and because of Diku's love for jerky.    Look for a blog on their siblings tomorrow!
