Hi -
My goodness, the ups and downs of life and developing a business have sure been keeping me busy especially during this very stressful time. It is so important to keep the animals we love safe and healthy, and I am working to make it easier for you by doing the leg work and researching the products and the companies before I offer them. You will find updates and information on new products, and other interesting holistic health information in this blog.
The Mission for The Shoppe, as a Specialty Shoppe, is to bring you a carefully curated selection of high quality, all-natural supplements, treats, and care products for horses and dogs. This means that the focus is not only on the products but also the small businesses producing these products. So, let’s start off with introductions to the companies that we work with; and future posts will be dedicated to each company individually, to give you more information on these amazing companies and focus on specific products.

The Beet-E-Bites company produces safe, low sugar, and low starch horse treats.
