About The Pack Leader!
How Did It All Begin?
In 2012, I was becoming increasingly concerned about commercial dog treats with questionable ingredients. This is when I was inspired to begin baking treats for my own dogs. Much to my surprise, my dog treats quickly became very popular, and I decided to create "Derby's Delights All Natural Dog Treats"...Lovingly named after my heart dog, Derby.
I'm excited to offer my customers a healthy product where they can take the worry out of what they are feeding their dogs. Derby's Delights are handmade with love, right here in the United States of America.
Derby's Story...
In 2009, while working for a rescue, I had been keeping my eyes open for my next pup. One day, when they returned from Ohio with a van full of "death row dogs", I saw the most adorable, happy, bouncing black lab puppy. He was mine within the hour....and I named him Derby.
Derby had quite the "Golden Child" reputation. He was the true definition of a heart dog, my co-pilot, and best friend. Loving every season, and everyone he met, from the mountains to the ocean. So many adventures we had together. By 2012, he was so special to me, that I decided to name my company after him. From that point forward, we celebrated every birthday with an official Derby's Delights birthday cake!
In my opinion, a dogs only fault, is that they cannot live forever.... Tragically, at the age of twelve, his life was cut too short, despite all my efforts to keep him with us... and I have missed him every day since. What a profound impact that "throw away puppy" has had on my life...
