DURANGO, Colo.– Zuke’s, an all-natural pet treat company, announced information on its corporate social responsibility initiatives, including updates in areas such as environmental stewardship, community involvement and charitable support. One key area for the company is the sponsorship of canine athletes, from Frisbee teams to search and rescue dogs to outdoor tour guides.
“Our company’s roots lie within the outdoors and around the concept of dog athletes,” said Patrick Meiering, founder of Zuke’s. “We got our start in my garage in 1995 when I started creating my own version of today’s Power Bones with a hand mixer. I was inspired to create all natural, performance-driven treats that would support my dog’s energy and body function on the trails after a long day of hiking. Our energy-and nutrient-rich snacks provide dogs with the right punch of energy to support their vitality during training and competition.”
Zuke’s currently sponsors a dozen dog athletes and teams, including the Flying Houndz Frizbee Team and the La Plata County Search and Rescue Team. Flying Houndz Frizbee Trick Dog Show features professionaly choreographed shows starring many types of dogs--including many rescues--doing Frisbee tricks. “Our dog family have been proudly sponsored by Zuke’s for four years and we are grateful to be a part of a company that represents quality ingredients in their products, a genuine care for animals and the community along with owners and a staff that are sincere in their quest,” said Jeff Wright, founder of Flying Houndz Frizbee Trick Dog Show. “Our relationship with Zuke’s has allowed us to reach people and their canines by letting us share the importance of good, healthy treats with wholesome ingredients.”
