Discover Waggy Impact
WAGGY IMPACT
It started with my own dogs. During the COVID-19 lockdown, I began making treats for them and soon, for friends and neighbours dogs too. Curious about simpler, healthier alternatives to expensive commercial treats, I researched why chicken feet and necks are healthy options for dogs and taught myself dehydration techniques through YouTube. I borrowed a dehydrator, sourced chicken feet the local butcher was discarding as unused and began experimenting in our apartment kitchen.
What started as a small experiment gradually became The Waggy Impact.

Overview
My experience caring for my own rescue dogs led me to create The Waggy Impact, a social enterprise that produces nutritious dog treats from responsibly sourced animal by-products and directs a portion of its profits towards street dogs and local animal shelters.

Waggy Impact changed the way I think about building. The work does not end when the treat is made. Every conversation and every hard day and every note from a customer is a chance to make it right and to learn.
