At Woof, we make refillable toys and wholesome treats that combine wellness and play. Our innovative, dog-first designs turn instinctive behaviors like licking and chewing into purposeful enrichment that helps dogs live healthier, more joyful lives.
By blending what dogs want, like delicious flavors and endless playtime, with what they need, like functional ingredients and mental stimulation, every Woof product is made to strengthen a dog’s body, mind, and the bond they share with their people.
Just ask your pup, and they’ll tell you that “Woof” means “I love you!” We’re dedicated to giving that love and devotion right back, in a language dogs will understand.

For every amazing thing that pets do to bring happiness to our lives, it’s only right that we do our part to show them how much we appreciate their companionship. At Zesty Paws®, we’ve made it our mission to help pet parents do just that.

Recognized by the Orlando Sentinel and The Orlando Business Journal as one of the best places to work, Zesty Paws, exhibits a startup culture that is highly collaborative, challenging, and fast-paced. We encourage each individual team member to strongly impact the growth and direction of our success through their hands-on contributions. For this reason, we value personal and professional growth and never shy away from rewarding smart work.
We also recognize our team members’ commitment to Zesty Paw’s growth and success by offering competitive benefits such as paid time off, flexible work hours, a casual dress code, and team outings where you enjoy hanging out with your co-workers.

Convergent Coffee Company is the first craft coffee brewery. We source our beans from Blanchard's Coffee and create intriguing seasonal cold brew coffees. We experiment with different brewing methods, ingredients, and roast profiles to make coffee that's at its best. Like a brewery, our coffees are available in cans and kegs
Our first line of coffees, three different kinds of oaked cold brews, sold out within the first four hours of our official launch at Glen's Garden Market in Dupont Circle, Washington, DC. Since then, we've went from that one store to 90 stores including all of the Whole Foods Markets in the Mid-Atlantic region.
To see what we have going on, check out our website www.convergentcoffee.com or check us out on Facebook.

The Honest Kitchen was founded by Lucy Postins in 2002 with a mission to help as many pets as possible get on the road to good health, through good food. We produce a full line of human grade complete and balanced foods for dogs and cats including dry, dehydrated, and wet foods; as well as treats, toppers, hydration boosters and a best-selling digestive supplement. The Honest Kitchen was the first-ever human grade pet food, meaning our finished product meets human food production standards (unlike conventional pet food, which is feed grade). Each Honest Kitchen product is made with uncompromising quality & safety standards by a company of pet lovers.
