In 2012, Death Wish Coffee Co. was created in a small coffee shop in Saratoga Springs, New York. Coffee shop owner and DWC founder, Mike Brown, saw a need for coffee that was both strong and delicious to serve his groggy morning customers. After creating the perfect blend of beans and combining it with his unique roasting technique, Death Wish Coffee was born. Today, thousands of people trust Death Wish Coffee to wake them up and keep them going every day. Death Wish Coffee is a breakthrough in the coffee world. Made with a combination of Arabica and Robusta beans sourced from all over the world, in addition to a unique, slow roasting process, Death Wish Coffee has a strong, smooth, bold taste — and its twice as strong as your average cup of coffee. All of our coffee beans are certified USDA organic and Fair Trade, ensuring that you have the highest quality cup of coffee out there. In 2015, we won Intuit’s ‘Small Business Big Game’ competition, which gave us a 30-second commercial spot during the Super Bowl. Since then, our business has grown every day, allowing us to reach more coffee drinkers than ever before. We also continue to release limited edition merchandise such as apparel and mugs to make sure the Death Wish brand fits into every aspect of our communitys lives. And now, Death Wish Coffee is on thousands of store shelves — and were adding more every day. Through our rapid growth, our mission remains the same: To fuel you wherever you go.

Dogs and cats and cats and dogs. We just love every little furry thing about them; from when they’re tiny and helpless, as they settle down into our hearts and homes and daily lives, to when they’re older and in need of extra care. Dogs and cats and cats and dogs. They keep us company, warm our hearts and make us laugh and laugh. And, if you’re like us, you do the very best you can for your pets; all that you can to keep them healthy, safe, active and happy. At Petcurean, we create premium quality, nutrient-rich food that’s right for pets, to help our dogs and cats get the most out of their lives with us. We always have, since day one when two good friends started a little family operation in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia, Canada. They were driven by the idea that pets deserved better: that pets deserved food that was made with the same love and care as we put into preparing meals for our own families. To this day, Petcurean remains fiercely independent and lives by the rule of quality first, pets first, without compromise. We’re pet people, pet owners, pet advocates and yes, more than a little obsessed with proper pet nutrition. You should see us when we’re talking about what recipes we should be creating; the meats, veggies and fruits we should be including; which rancher, farmer or producer we’ll source from; what flavours we should be considering. It’s not enough to create a new recipe for the sake of having a new recipe; our foods have to do better than that, our foods have to help pets stay healthy and happy. Think about it; one small piece of kibble contains every ingredient… the proteins, carbs and fats, the vitamins and minerals your pet needs to sustain and nourish its life. Yup. With every decision we make, every recipe we create, we put pets first. That’s what we’ve always done, here at Petcurean. And, that’s what we’ll always do.
