What is the customer experience like at Treats Unleashed?
Treats Unleashed customers enjoy a friendly, neighborhood environment where they can find everything they need to care for their dog or cat. It’s even common to see the owners talking with customers while Max and Mickey, their eight-year-old mini dachshunds serve as ‘store greeters.’ The company’s leadership team and staff are passionately committed to providing products and services that keep pets happy and healthy through its three retail store locations, online presence and series of in-store events.

What is the brand philosophy behind Treats Unleashed?
Founded in 2002 and family owned and operated, Treats Unleashed grew into a consumer retail store based on a commitment to pet health and nutrition, a sincere care for animal welfare and community goodwill. A lifestyle brand, customers frequent the stores to discover a variety of quality products while also enjoying ongoing social events where pets and their parents can gather.

What sets Treats Unleashed apart from other pet specialty retailers?
In addition to offering an exciting array of specialty pet accessories and products, Treats Unleashed caters to every pet’s individual needs when it comes to health, diet and nutrition. With a food scientist on staff and an in-house “Gourmutt” Bakery, Treats Unleashed sets itself apart by serving as every pet’s nutritionist, offering expert advice, customized food recommendations and fresh-baked treats to meet your pet’s unique dietary requirements.

What types of pet specialty items do you offer to consumers? What is the price range?
Especially unique from other pet retailers and boutiques, Treats Unleashed provides homemade treats baked from scratch right in the store in several different delicious flavors. Additional retail items include: all-natural pet food, healthy supplements, interactive toys, healthcare items, grooming products, collars, leashes and more. Despite the common perception that specialty pet products are very expensive, Treats Unleashed proves the opposite. Many of Treats Unleashed customers find that switching their pet’s food to a more nutritious and healthier brand not only makes their pet feel great and decreases visits to the veterinarian, but also fits within a sometimes limited budget. On average, the all-natural pet food at Treats Unleashed ranges from $40 per 40 lb. bag to $55 per 33 lb. bag, depending upon the ingredients.

In addition to meeting the needs of customers on a limited budget, Treats Unleashed also accommodates customers who like to splurge on their pets every once in a while with more moderately-priced food, toys and accessories.

What is Treats Unleashed’s wholesale offering?
Treats Unleashed sells boxed treats in 10 ounce packages. As of Fall 2007, the homemade line of healthy treats encompasses the following eight flavors, each with its own special shape: Peanut Butter Barkers, Cheese Quackers, Apple Cinnamon Hearts, Honey Bears, Carob Chippers, Low Fat Fish, Smokey Beef Bones and Training Bits.

Retailers across the nation can either enjoy private labeling our delicious treats to customize and build their own brand, or incorporate the Treats Unleashed-branded products as a top-selling item in the ‘gourmet treats’ category on their store shelves instead.

Wholesale Customer Testimonial:
"We love selling Treat's Unleashed’s all-natural fresh-baked treats in our store and our four-legged customers love them too. We’ve been surprised to notice that even our most "fussy" customers who generally "don't like treats" end up loving them. The decorated iced treats are fun and whimsical, bust still healthy and wholesome – plus they make great impulse purchases. Our customers are always stopping by to see what’s new."- Matt Brazelton, St. Louis, MO, Four Muddy Paws (www.fourmuddypaws.com)
