(PRESS RELEASE) TUMWATER, WA – We are NDependent, officially announced the launch of its ‘Sticks’ line of sweet potato-based dog treats. The company’s tagline, Everyday Uncommon summarizes its product development philosophy. The Sticks line is a perfect example. The ‘everyday’ is a sweet potato base with cinnamon and dandelion leaf. The ‘uncommon’ refers to ingredients like duck eggs, goat’s milk, beef green tripe, krill, and more. The crunchy treats are not only healthy but great tasting as well.
“We started with two unique target audiences, independent pet retailers and passionate pet lovers, then created a company and products for both groups,” said Rusty Hawes, one of three company founders. “Independents are part of our community and have led the way in terms of product innovation, education, and service.”
