Small Business Saturday Spotlight (with discount codes!)

With the holidays in full swing and the effects of COVID-19 still creating waves in our economy, we want to do our part and highlight some of our favorite pet related small businesses. Small business Saturday is this weekend! By shopping small, you help give back to communities, build up the economy and support the hardworking people who rely on shopping seasons to stay afloat. Pour yourself a cup of something warm, snuggle up on the couch with your pets and shop small this holiday season.

Treats

Our all-time favorite treat company is New Road Foods. New Road Foods makes fresh baked dog (and cat!) treats using only human grade, organic and USDA approved ingredients. New Road was founded by a father daughter team, Greg and Katie and their customer service is out of this world! Greg and Katie are pet owners themselves and they have decades of experience in the pet food industry. Their dedication to making delicious, healthy, high quality treats is clear from the minute you see their packaging all the way through to the last, lip-licking treat in the bag!  Their treats are always fan favorites with the HIMMD team and we’re sure your pup (or kitty!) will love them and you’ll love feeding them too.

Katie and Greg were kind enough to offer 20% off their entire selection exclusively to our ComPETibility Matters readers! Use code SMALLBIZ for 20% off on www.newroadfoods.com
