A Deaf-owned All Natural Dog Treats business
Cynthis Murray – Born deaf, my husband and 4Legz co-founder, John, were looking for something new and exciting—something and that was born out of our love for our pets. Making dog treats sprung to mind. I had a service dog name Odie who was allergic to just about every food and treat out there on the market. Odie came from the Dog for the Deaf Non-Profit Organization that trains Hearing Service Dogs. Odie set the tone of what I wanted to do to honor him and many other dogs in need of healthier food and treats. So many pet food products and treats are full of preservatives, chemicals, by-products, and fillers so we set out to make dog treats from ingredients you can pronounce. And in the process, we’re able to do much more! None of this would have been possible without Odie, and without the support of so many along the way. Who knew that my hearing dog would help lead me to one of the greatest achievements in my life and help me find ways to continue to help other differently abled people like me.
